Hello BP, I have been a GC 20+ years, I had an account with all the banks and Freddy Mac back in the day doing their remodels and make ready's. If I had to guess I probably have remodeled over 2000 homes from California to Texas and north to Indiana. I could pretty much remodel a home in my sleep lol. I have read a couple property investment books and am currently reading BRRRR, and I have been surrounded by different investors throughout my years I have tried to get into the flipping business a couple times but something always got in the way, ex wife usually. Now I am actively searching for properties, getting the wholesale emails everyday and one caught my eye and I contacted the wholesaler and have started the conversation which come to find out I have spoken to him before with another investor and he remembers our conversation and "has heard good things about me". This deal that caught my eye is on .769 acres. Its 7 individual buildings and 14 units spread out between the 7 buildings, 1 of the units is rented out on a yearly rental agreement grossing $1000.00 each month. The seller is looking for $205,000.00 and that includes the closing costs( he was at $275,000.00 then went to $225,000.00 when I called then down to $205,000.00). I figured the rehab at $65.00 sqft making the total rehab costs at $701,000.00, the total acquisition at $906,000.00. the cap rate will be around 7%. I wanted to see if I could do a BRRRR on steroids lol, this is where I need the help from the experienced investors, I'm not looking to make a ton of money on my first deal but I want to jump in and make this work if I can for my first investment property. Any advice you all can share would be much appreciated

    You have defined the cost basis, but what about the reversion value? i.e. what will you be able to sell or refinance it for on the backend?

    It seems like cap rate may be misapplied here. Cap rate is the ratio of Net Operating Income to property value. What calculation are you doing to arrive at 7%?

    This is what the wholesaler provided, I am not putting a whole lot of belief in the actual numbers here. I do have a real estate agent helping me with some of the calcs. and showing me how to get the real numbers.

    The Numbers

    Purchase Price: $225k FCFS/ OBO

    Estimated Rehab: TBD

    Estimated ARV: ~$1.1m - $1.23m

    Estimated Monthly Rev: ~ $9,250 - $10,250/ Month

    Estimated Annual Rev: ~ $111k - $123k/ Year
