Hi guys

I see a lot of videos of people doing mid term, but i have hard time to understand something . they said the x4 their monthly rent.

When Im looking on furnish finder , i see the rents jumping by $500 not more.

example: From $2000 to $2500-2600.

So how it make sense to doing x3 and x4. because then it will be $6000-8000 per month... can you elaborate and explain me ?

Hey guys 

I want to build my portfolio , get as much property possible that I’ll sell them in 7-10 years or keep them, depends on the future & the equity.

I don’t want only equity, I want to build a really big rental empire with high cash flow, since I really like to do it.

I have 2 single in DFW and 1 single in Tampa Florida
each of them cash flow between 300-500 per month .

I have teams of contractors, lawyers, realtors, handyman, agents.... in both of this markets , my price point is between 200-350K purchase price for homes with 3bed /2bath and around 1500-3000sqft.

Question 1:
you think this both areas are good for mid term travel nurses, insurance.... ?  How many miles away from hospitals are you looking for ?
i didn’t do mid term rentals ever but I want to increase my cash flow . so I will appreciate any tips 

what I usually do is: I buy houses with Hard money loan and renovate it then I rent it
in this case I’ll need to furnish it as well and then start with mid term

I found out that I can do Subject to and seller finance and get already a remodeled property with 10% down payment , in that case I save the remodel work , but I’ll not have alot of equity and monthly expanses for rent will be super high

Question 2:
Regarding to purchase method, what you will recommended ? you buy already remodeled property ? or you buy distress , renovate them and get also equity along the way

Hey guys, i would like to buy a house in Austin, I want to buy house that need a full remodeling and invest at least 100-120K on remodeling the house.

I can get Hard money loan & then get FHA when i re finance , what you would do in my position ?

I mean i prefer not to go hard money loan , but they will cover me 75% from ARV on rental . and i can take part of money to use it for the remodel.

I prefer to go with FHA from the beginning but i cant take advance on equity like i do with HML.

 @Alon A. First question has to be are you looking to purchase as a non-owner occupied investment property or an owner occupied property? Hard money is for non-owner and FHA is for owner occupied.


 What if I do hard money loan on house and then I decide that I want to keep it instead of rent it or selling it ,  so I will re finance for 30 years and then I can keep it ..

Why do you want to take on a project with an extensive rehab? Take on a project that makes sense numerically, no matter how much rehab it needs.

Your best bet is to use hard money for a project of that magnitude. They are asset based and you will be able to receive lending on the majority of the funds. Sometimes up to 90% loan to cost. 


 I’m a remodeler in my profession. 
I want to build there a house for my use. 

I know already type of finishes , I know the what I want 

Maybe I’ll build even a pool , back yard project , siding projects , I want to take house and make it super modern and enjoy from it

Why not just go FHA 203K from start to finish.


What is FHA 203K ?
How it’s different , and how the remodeling and loan cost work 

let’s say house is 500K 

Remodel 120K

How much down payment I put and how the draw of remodel works , I never used this loan but it’s sounds great

Hey guys

I wanted to check out with you if you had any luck to Re fi cash out in the last year ?

They giving me 75% in DFW area , so instead im doing a regular 30 years re finance (no cashout) with 75% and thats how im not putting any cash at close.

It is very hard for me to do cash out, every time i want to do , rates are high and i dont have enough to cover it...

-for example

-property purchase price 270K with 71K expanses 

ARV before remodel 426K, ARV after remodel 460K.

PAY off hard money lender is 328K

I dont have enough for cash out ?

The only thing I look for on a BRRRR is to get my money back. I'm not interested in getting any extra cash out on top of what I put in.

I used to do this back in the day when I was getting 4% rates, but no longer do it because it makes less sense to me. 

Only way that I would take out extra fund on top of what I put in is if I can take out enough to buy another property as a down payment. 

This is just what I do personally. 

On a side note, good deal you have on your hands here. Well done!


 So just to make sure , you will leave the money in the walls ? You not going to take the 30K out of the property ?

Unless you have another deal just waiting for you, I'd take the break even and start hunting again. 

I don't like "cash" sitting there, burning a hole in my pocket at 10% interest. I think that makes investors take chances that they wouldn't normally take. 

Positive cash flow and 100% of your out of pocket costs are covered- that's a win most people on these boards would kill for. Nice job!


 So you say to take all money and break even with 9% rate ?


No, I am saying I think this is the better option: 

"On the other hand my re finance lender can give me loan of rate and term of 7.75% payment of $1981 monthly and cash flow $419 per month."


 Oh ok so you are saying i should leave the 30-35K in the "walls" of the property and stay with mortgage 7.75% ?

I certainly would and have done that many times. Unless you are 100% certain that you can get better than a 10% return on that money right away, why would you borrow it?

 I mean what is maximum rate that you limit, i think to go over 8% is to much !

9% is crazy. but how everybody do 80% cashout with good rates?


 On the other hand i can take 30-35K and make more deals. so im confused what i should do.

And i need money also
