Try Loan Depot. My LO there, who I did my refi on my primary, told me they underwrite duplex with ADU. I'm about to wrap up the ADU on my duplex in a few weeks and planning to do a refi.

@James Martin Gotcha. And can I start marketing the property for rent once I have it under contract (with the understanding it won’t actually be leased until after closing)?

@James Martin Hopefully I’m able to have the same luck. Do you typically provide a refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer for tenants? Or let them bring their own? What has worked best for you?

@Curt Davis I’m assuming a C class neighborhood with a tenant who would stay for 2-3 years with some missed payments. Not expecting the smoothest ride. Thanks for the feedback.

I have a property under contract (Buy and Hold conventional loan) in 38111 Cherokee, a couple blocks from where the 78 meets the 240 on Railton and Parker. The street itself doesn't have many properties worth more than $65,000. However, it looks like blocks surrounding this area have houses close to $100,000. Do you recommend investing in this area? Is it more of a C or D class neighborhood? Looking to make some cash flow. This would be my first real estate investment.

@Alex Craig @Curt Davis Looks like you all have a ton of knowledge in the area.

@Erik Henderson it's tough at least in OKC with how stable the market is. There just aren't many properties that are priced undervalue enough but not too distressed where you've got enough room to build in a flip and still come in undervalue. When the market turns you'll be able to do it all day, but right now, I'm mostly seeing great cap rates and price points at 5% undervalue and that's if you're working off market. You can totally do it! You can force any strategy, but the amount of time/energy to find that deal is going to be much higher than taking what the market is offering right now. 

 Alyssa,


What type of investing do you recommend in Tulsa at the moment? 20% down for cash flow? Multi families? Any cities you would recommend that suit the BRRRR strategy?

I consistently say that my North Tulsa rentals are my favorite. Many others would disagree. I guess they don't like cash cows! 

Joking aside, there are many great areas with cash flow potential in the Tulsa markets.

 Michael,


Below is my criteria. You think I can find these types of deals in the area? Based on my research it looks like I would be able to.


I'm looking for single-family homes between $50,000 - $100,000 with three bedrooms and at least one and a half bathrooms. My goal is to buy cheap, rehab, refinance, and hire a property manager to rent them out. I want to pull all my money out of the deal or leave < $10,000 in the deal.

Hi Josh!

I live in Northern California and have been investing in Tulsa for the last 5 years. I’m happy with my cash flow. But if you are looking for California style appreciation then you may be disappointed. I’d be happy to connect to discuss more.

Heidi

Heidi,


I'd love to hear about the system you have in place to successfully invest long distance in Tulsa. I currently in San Diego CA and am looking to do the same. Below is my criteria:


I'm looking for single-family homes between $50,000 - $100,000 with three bedrooms and at least one and a half bathrooms. My goal is to buy cheap, rehab, refinance, and hire a property manager to rent them out. I want to pull all my money out of the deal or leave < $10,000 in the deal.

Also in the market for a stellar Real Estate Agent and Property Manager in the area.



Hello, My name is Damian and I have experience working for a Genera Contractor in Southern California. I'm a real estate investor in CA, and I've been doing research to determine the best place to start buying rentals to hold long term for cash flow. My research led me to Tula, Oklahoma with healthy major industries and development.


I'm looking for single-family homes between $50,000 - $100,000 with three bedrooms and at least one and a half bathrooms. My goal is to find properties that need work or are owned by motivated sellers that I can purchase for 80 cents on the dollar if possible. My goal is to buy cheap, rehab, refinance, and hire a property manager to rent them out. I want to pull all my money out of the deal or leave < $10,000 in the deal.


Please let me know if you would be interested in taking me on as a client for property management when I find rental properties. I would also love to hear locations you recommend for investors as well as areas to stay away from (war zones).


I see your reputation is stellar, and you seem to the the best of the best. I hope we can develop a very strong relationship that is profitable for us both!
