Quote from @Justin Hammerle:

@Rose Frantz - If your rent is $1695, and your debt service is $1450 with the HOA, I can't imagine any free cashflow; I would sell here and use the funds on better cash flowing assets.

I second this, you will be losing money renting it. Sell, take the small profits and buy something with better returns

Hey @Adrian Stamer, I get it. I live here and sometimes think it is early, lol. You are out in Richmond? Do you attend a local REI meetup?

Yes out of Richmond. I don’t currently attend any here, I used to years ago but since 2020 all the better smaller ones seemed to either have stopped or still virtual only. So I haven’t bothered going back yet

Thank you both for your service of watching and telling us that it was in fact full of overblown nonsense like everyone expected

Quote from @Stacy Raskin:

From a lender's perspective for a DSCR ratio and getting a loan, the property cash flows as the ratio is a 1 or above. A lender doesn't consider any of the fees you mentioned when structuring a DSCR loan ratio and approving a loan.


Every small bank I've ever used makes a pro forma including those other items and usually requires 1.15-1.25 DSCR to lend depending on terms. Is this what others are seeing or am I experiencing a weird anomaly?


I would be significantly more concerned about the banking system if they believe a property cash flows and are lending based on numbers not including vacancies, maintenance/repairs/capex, and property management fees

This property likely doesn’t cash flow as you are leaving out important items such as vacancy, maintenance/repairs/capex, and property management fees

Quote from @Bobby Paquette:

If you were to get a BRRR that you could pull all of your money out and some but it didn't cashflow really, would you still keep it? I know this depends on goals, etc. But in the overview, you get a rental property with a bunch of equity in it, and if the hold time is long term, you should be fine in any market, thoughts?


Yes, so long it follows the IRR over a 10 year hold I target

Quote from @Alecia Loveless:

@Greg Seivert I’ve been going back and forth with this question on a property I have that had no loan on it. It’s currently cash flowing about $600/month per unit and I could cash out anywhere between $250-350,000 and still cash flow approximately $300/month/unit.

I’m in a bit of a holding pattern with some other projects and personal things at the moment plus my contractor is tied up on the last deal I bought so I’m not currently in a rush.

I'd recommend looking at the HELOC through a credit union or one of the banks someone else mentioned. I think it's a better option to just borrow the money you need and be able to pay it back as you go along and then re-borrow it again if the time comes that you need more and it's still available.


 Alecia, if you could always cash out and then put in a money market account at 5.25% to bring in a little over $1,500 a month still (I don’t know how many units it is) to be liquid and ready but still offset some of the loss from the higher interest rates


personally I'm seeing 7-7.5% of cash out refis but I've seen my HELOC creep up to 9.1% so you are definitely paying a premium for the extra flexibility

Quote from @Matthew Masoud:

This is my P/L from a 6-unit property in Dayton, OH for July.

All 6 units have been converted to MTR.

C-Class area near major hospital (believe it or not purchase price $210k) Cap Rate: ~31%

We have 32 units in this market. Just goes to prove MTR works in small markets too

*Water is paid quarterly.


Thanks for sharing, returns look great. That isn’t how caprate works though, maybe you mean Cash on Cash? Caprate is more of a market term, where a lower number is a less risky property or asset class and a higher number is a more risky asset class. While MTR would be considered a more risky class then LTR, 32% caprate would generally mean the most risky dangerous place on earth

But congrats on your success!
