Quote from @Matthew Kwan:

HI Ameir, you can defiantly use the $25k to invest in other states like TN, OK, OH etc that has affordable real estate housing. The main thing is being able to qualify with your income. As lenders typically qualifies in terms of mortgage payment- 45%-50% of your gross income. For example if your gross income is $4000 then your mortgage payment should be around $1800-$2000 assuming no debts. However, if you are planning to do wholesale first, make sure that you have a lender to review your tax returns before you file it, just to make sure the numbers that you are filling can actually be qualified. @Carlos Valencia @Albert Bui


 I see never thought about that, definitely need to look into cheaper markets. Rhode Island is real competitive and has little inventory. I appreciate your input!

How are you doing bigger pockets family, my name is Ameir Gomes and I’m from providence RI. I’m a young 20 year old investor and I am fortunate to have wholesaled my way up to $25k. The reason for me making this post is to connect with experienced investors who wouldn’t mind helping me get my feet wet. Like they say knowledge is power and network is net worth! Id love to partner on a fix and flip to learn more on how the process works as well as build long term relationships. I’m also open to buy and holds as well since this is my long term goal. Partnerships, advice, guidance is very much appreciated, can’t wait to hear back from some experts who are willing to help and hopefully be able to work with y’all!

Thank you!

Quote from @Dennis Muno:

I would also recommend you consider your financing strategy and also how to analyze deals you make sure you don't bleed financially on your investment properties.

I would also recommend you use DSCRs loans especially given that you are new. DSCR loans unlike hard money, private money etc don't require a downpayment usually. The loan qualification is usually based on if your rental income will be enough to cover your monthly expenses- the loan principal and interest, taxes and insurance.

This lets you get started as an investor without a whole lot of money down. You will just need to pay the closing costs of the DSCR.


 Thank you for this information, I saw your message and replied back, cant wait to connect with you!

Hey @Ameir Gomes absolutely. I'm not sure if I can post a link to their site, but if you do a web search on RIREIG or RI Real Estate Investors Group, it should come right up with an obvious-looking website name 😀

My recollection is that they have an open virtual meeting on the first Thursday of each month, and then an in-person meeting on the third Thursday of each month in Warwick. But they post each meeting ahead of time on their website.

(There may be other groups in/near RI as well, that's just the one I'm familiar with.)

I appreciate this information, Anthony!

Hi Ameir,

Anthony is a wealth of knowledge. I would take him up on his offer and RIREIG is also well worth it.

I am getting started myself and would be happy to connect. 

Chris

@Ameir Gomes welcome to Bigger Pockets and congratulations on getting started in real estate, especially with one or more successful wholesales—great work!

I’m happy to connect, and I also recommend attending one or more RI networking groups such as RIREIG which has been active for decades (at least since 2003 when I started going, and I think it was also active in the 90s).

I’ve met some of my best mentors, partners, lenders, buyers, and friends through that group so I do recommend attending it if you can.


I appreciate the reply Anthony is there way you can send me the details/schedule of these events. I’d love to attend meet you and hopefully learn and grow as much as possible! Again thank you for the reply, can’t wait to connect!

Post: Subject Two Structure for Wholesaling a Real Estate Deal

How are you doing everyone I have some questions and also seeking advice and guidance on a potential wholesale Sub Two deal. I'm new to the game and was brought this property as a potential deal for a cash buyer of mine. I get the concept and what Sub Two is but not sure how to structure one fully especially since I'm planning on wholesaling it. The seller has 3 terms written up (provided below) and what he wants for a down payment, interest, monthly payment etc. He's motivated, and open to negotiation on what he'll take for Sub Terms. I also have a retail buyer in mind who specifically told me Seller Finance/ Sub Two deals is what he's looking for and is interested, but I just don't know where to start per say. What would you all do in this situation and what terms would you do for something like this?

Sub Two Terms:

1. $70k down 3.5% interest $767/Mo for 84 months

2. $60k down 4% interest $895/Mo for 84 months

3. $50K down 5.5% interest $907/Mo for 96 months

Home Details:

The seller is asking cash $130k if I were to purchase the property flat out without any Sub Two or creative terms, but he owns $70k on the property in back taxes. The home is pretty much completely rehabbed, and it will need no more than $10k (Maybe Less) in work be rent ready and cashing flowing at $1.1k-$1.3k month to month with an ARV of $140k if fixed to be flipped. Let me know what you all think are the terms above reasonable, completely off, or perfect for this deal. Throw some feedback at me, I'd appreciate it and I'm open with all ears to anything you all have to say.

Thank You
