This is my second flip so I am pretty new.

Acquisition price: 50k

renovations: 15k

closing costs/fees: 12k

ARV: 115k

The loan that I was offered for 100% of purchase price and renovations is

8 points, 13.5% interest and I need to bring 10% down. My credit is about 775 so I thought I would get a better loan...

Matt,

That sounds pretty great. I am a new investor on my second deal and im trying to expand my network as well. I am a few hours away in Jacksonville, NC however, but maybe we could do business or exchange ideas anyway.

Hello everyone,

I am an investor in the Eastern North Carolina area and I am building my network of other investors. I have begun wholesaling deals so I would love to meet anyone interested in buying from wholesalers. I'm also looking for investors to exchange strategies, pass referrals, etc.

Looking forward to hearing from all of you,

Christian Baker

Hey Everyone,

I am new to using lenders to fund my investments. My other projects have been with cash and as a result, I have everything tied up for the moment. A potential deal has come across my desk today that is way to good to pass up

Acquisition cost: 45k

Repair cost: 15k

closing costs/fees: 10k (comes from the HUD)

ARV: 115k

ROI: 45k or 69%

I need to borrow about 65k (56% LTV)

anyone know any good lenders that do this size loan? I am looking for a long-term lender to do more deals with

Thanks,

Christian Baker

thanks Jalen,

Im happy with the ROI, my biggest hurdle to expansion is funding, so as I increase those channels the ROI will probably settle around 40%

Hello everyone,

My name is Christian Baker and I live in Jacksonville, NC. Im active duty in the Marine Corps but will soon be switching to real estate full time. I have been getting my deals from the MLS (VA forclosures) and using cash to fund projects and im getting around 50-55% ROI. Im looking to switch to private/hard money lenders, increase production, and build a motivated network. Id love and welcome any advice you may have.

All the best,

Christian Baker
