Hey @Brandon Eike, welcome to the BP Forum! What is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"? 


Do you have a city/market in mind for these investments? The first thing I'd recommend is focus on a market where you either 1) currently or have previously lived, 2) have family/friends that live there, or 3) travel to/vacation there frequently.

Hey @Matthew Rensel. The builder wants "you" to provide the financing (i.e., you lend them money) or are they looking for you to be the "borrower" of the project? I suspect the builder has crappy credit and can't get approved on their own.

Also, as a former banker myself, local banks aren't generally interested in financing new construction on this size of project or a builder that doesn't have extensive experience in these type of builds, in my opinion.

Quote from @Shaylynn O'Leary:

Hello, I' m a newer investor in the process of getting my first property under contract near where I currently live. I live in a good, appreciating market where the average home price is above $700,000. Not a great cash flowing market. The state that I live in is also not landlord friendly.  My plan is to have a small but mighty real estate portfolio, much like Chad Carson's book. I want to use the profits from flipping in my home market to obtain and pay off properties in a better cash flowing, landlord friendly market. Initially, the properties that I buy in another market don't have to cash flow a lot, my metric is $150, as I'm focused on the long term gain when they're paid off  and I have a W2 and am also a realtor. I'm not looking to leave my W2 tomorrow.  However, my hold up is what market to look at that will help me meet my goals. I have looked into these markets: St. Louis, MO, Indianapolis IN, Columbus OH, Cincinnati OH, and Columbia SC. Does anyone have any advice on which direction to go? Thank you!


 Hi Shaylynn. Do you have a personal connection to either of those markets? You'll noticed I'm based in one of them!

If he really wants to "roll up his sleeves", he can scout properties in your community (or on the internet) and get paid a "commission" if he finds one of your investor-friends in Omaha to buy it (aka, acquisition fee/finder's fee).

Most lenders that I work with cap the LTV % on cash outs at 70%, so assuming $165k is accurate, the max loan I would see on this would be around $115k, which doesn't give you any cash.

Hey @Jermaine Washington, welcome to the BP Forum! With 3 properties already, you're definitely not "new" anymore ;-) Doing a refi is very possible (depending on how much equity you've accumulated) to do those types of things...the issue can be the tax ramification that you face if/when you do it. Couple of details that would help the community here: what's your estimated value of house "A", the loan balance, and monthly rent?

Quote from @Nate O.:

Awesome, thanks for the reply Caleb. For context, I have invested in 1 single family home, several partnerships, and several syndications over the past 15 years. I've had him read some of my books on investing, and we have conversations often about how you can finance (and refinance) properties, etc. 

I am kind of stuck on where I should lead him next, since he's busy with school and sports he doesn't have time for a job. Without a job, no money to invest.

These are great suggestions Caleb, much appreciated!

 While he may not have money to invest...there are multiple ways he can still derive income from real estate.

Hi @Heidi Ibrahim, welcome to the BP Forum! I assume you're looking for SF properties in those counties? Are you wanting to do fix/flip, BRRR, or a mix of the two? Do you have a price point or size of property that interests you?

Hey @Raj Vardhan. Yes, it's possible, but you'd probably need to get approved in the next 30 days as I'd estimate a 60 day close (at least) for an investment property in the name of an LLC. Do you need help finding banks that would do these loans?
