@Brandon Teel Hey Brandon. It was a grind. I had plenty of relationships in place to fund it but then covid hit. The private lender that was covering all 3 quad purchases decided to stop lending. So I lost $594,000 of funding. I had to start over and have each deal funded separately. I then chose to wholesale the 3rd quad for a nice fee. I brought $0 of my own money.

BRRRR and abundance mindset for the win!!!BRRRR and a TIP OF THE DAY : )

RUN YOUR NUMBERS!!!! If the deal works for you, pull the trigger! Take action and celebrate the win!

Abundance mindset vs. scarcity mindset in Real Estate.

I just completed my refinance on the 2 quads I bought last year.

Lets look at the #’s!

Purchase Price $396,666.66

Per Unit Price $49,583.33

Paid wholesalers $60,000

Paid Private lenders $46,372

Rehab cost $67,267

My money in the deal $35,933

Old Rents $4200

It was distressed. I renovated the exteriors, repaired the interiors of 6 units and completely renovated 2 units.

New Rents $6500, after Property management $5850

Refi for 30 years @ 4.25% Int rate

Monthly payments including taxes and insurance $3290

Cash flow Total $2560

Per Door $320

Cash out at refi $82,310 : ) : ) : )

I hope this post is encouraging and shows how it is possible to create win/win deals in Real Estate. I hear about and see so many new investors counting OPM (other peoples money). How many people do you know that would have not done this deal or blew it because they were worried about the wholesalers making $60,000 on it? Focus on if it works for you and if it does, move forward and be happy that you did. In this case, it turns out the wholesalers are good friends of mine. I high fived them and we had celebratory beers! They won, I won, and my private lenders won! Those are the kind of deals that I love to do! You go further, faster, in Real Estate and life, once your mindset is right. Make the mental shift! You'll be glad you did!

Oh yeah…..

I left out how this all went down in the middle of a pandemic and I lost all of my financing a week before closing. I pivoted, I grinded, I collaborated, I commiserated, and I figured it out. I was under contract to actually by 12 units and because the financing market dried up over night I decided to wholesale the 3rd Quad to a friend. I made a 30k fee, he renovated a few units, raised the rents and is about to flip it for a very nice profit. It’s a relationship business. Make them, foster them, and grow together! Have a great day!

Very nice post partner! Thanks for the kind words. The feeling is mutual. I couldn't have found a more complimentary partner to tackle this purpose project with. It has been an incredible journey so far and I can't wait to see how God's plan unfolds for us moving forward!

🙏 A year and a week ago I had a passing conversation with my CPA about buying some rentals to help with my tax burden.

🙏 4 Weeks later I had purchased 5 duplexes, totaling 10 rental units.

🙏 Before a year was up I added the kid's Condo and another 4 unit quadruplex. I also have 8 more units under contract to purchase in the next 2 months.

🙌 11.5 months- 15 units. (Soon to be 23)

This is a post for the individuals out there that follow me and think, WOW, Dean is killing it. Dean is really a lucky guy. He can, but I can't! To that, I say that is a bunch of 💩. There is no luck. There is only hard work and want to!

We are all blessed with God-given talent and gifts! We are all special and capable of achieving and creating a better life for ourselves!

What's the difference between us you ask?

I stopped lying to myself. I stopped making excuses. I made up my mind! Make up your mind and see how your life can change in just 12 months.

What are you making excuses about? Stop and get started now!

Share this with anyone you know that needs to hear this. Make up your mind and look back a year later and smile big! 😁

God bless! Have an amazing day my friends!
