What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
Branson is a very regulated market that is hard to find stand alone private SFHs that can be used for STR. I've owned 2 prior to this one just 20 minutes south of Branson in Omaha, AR (unregulated). Judging by past performance of my other units, I was confident that a luxury finished lakeview home in this area would outperform comparable 4/4s in the greater Branson area.
How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
Cold calling based on local area knowledge and tax records
How did you finance this deal?
1031 for the DP
Commercial loan through local bank
HELOC through the same bank
Increased HELOC after reno for next acquisition
How did you add value to the deal?
Gut reno
Removed trees to create a lake view
Surveyed off the detached shop with its own half acre to rebuild it into a stand alone 1 bed cabin
What was the outcome?
2 income producing STRs with room to build more. Projected gross income for 2023 $150k with a total investment of $430k (we put another $90k into rebuilding the garage into a tiny home using our ARV HELOC)
Lessons learned? Challenges?
If you're going to gut reno 90% of the house, do yourself a favor and do the last 10% while you're at it. We saved a bathroom and some of the existing wiring because it looked good cosmetically (recently renovated). Once the rest of the house was done and we had renters in the unit, we started having issues with the plumbing and electric in the areas we didn't redo.
