First Deal - Turnkey BRRRR

[Joseph Back]

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $69,000

Purchased a 4BD/1BA cape code style home for $69,000 using cash from a HELOC. Property already had tenants in it renting for $850 a month. On day 2 of ownership approached a local bank who does 85/15 LTV with 25 Year amortizing 5/5 ARM loans about getting a mortgage on the property for the BRRR strategy. Didn't put a penny into the property and appraisal came back at $100,000. Could have pulled extra capital out but to ensure I didn't over leverage myself just pulled initial ~$70,000 out.
