BRRRRing in 7% Interest
Hey, so I have been wanting to start BRRRRing in the Los Angeles area. But when I run the numbers I just don't see how it's supposed to work with 7% mortgage rates. Even when I take a super optimistic situation such as:
Home price: $750,000
Rehab: $100,000
Post Rehab price: $1,050,000
Let's say I take back my $850,000K at a 7% 30 Year loan
I get super lucky and am able to rent the property for 7% a year $6,200. Which is very very high for a 1M home in Los Angeles.
Expenses:
1. Property Tax - $800
2. Insurance - $100
3. Mortgage - $5,650
Total expenses: $6,550
So I am actually bleeding $300 a month under the assumption that:
1. I raised the value all in by 25% doing a rehab. If I raise it by 20% Im $500 out of pocket a month..
2. I was able to rent it for 7% (which is very high for Los Angeles)
Can someone shed some light on this, am I missing something. Seems that the only way to make money today in BRRRR is finding areas that rent at 8%+.
Anyone BRRRing in LA during these times?
Thanks in advance
