This seems to be to much work around. I have a network which will help you find another deal.

Is the ROI you will be receiving, be worth losing over 2%?

Probably not. Always leverage correctly and spread your money more. But, when it comes to nickels and dimes, does it meet your ROI?

I do not believe it will create value or ROI.

It looks pretty and it will be more for you and your family than renters destroying it.

I would go with #2. We have a returning client who has store front, storage in back and a rental upstairs and it seems to be a very good investment. Gets a good ROI.

Quote from @Alicia Marks:

Welcome to our question of the week! While we may start to feel that there's a rollercoaster ride ahead, we have something many investors don't, a great network to help us grow and learn! 

Have you noticed any new trends happening in your local market? How are you using your real estate knowledge to adapt to take advantage of what you are seeing? How can BiggerPockets help support you in your investing?

Let's get talking!


 I have noticed with client right now, they are switching models. More than a few are going from flip and maybe holds to flip money going straight to multi-family units. A small few are still flipping for revenue to take next investment step for more stable residual income and multiple doors. One client has noticed as well the permit times on her doing ground up have gotten lengthy. So she is having to switch to flips and more hold and this is slow because of NO inventory. We have used every resource we have to assist in getting her 9 bids. It was tough but we met her and her husbands goal. Partnering here has been great for clients.

@Sharise Scott

Yes I have clients to do use the retail side for the first few investments. I have a client right now where his wife has five Loans and the husband has five loans. We’re having to do a portfolio for the 10 and one that they’re purchasing to add to the portfolio at the same time because their local bank credit union and other lending institutions around the country will not do that many properties on a portfolio. Most of them only want to do 3 to 5. Once we get to a certain amount of houses then it just goes to a number and the largest portfolio that we personally can do is $100 million.

@Qiong L.

Yes ma'am I actually have lenders that will go up to 80% LTV. I'm just mentioning that some lenders because you purchased the house within their seasoning. They only are willing to do a certain amount of leverage for the purchase and may be rehab you stack up all expenses they'll do a certain percentage of that. But I have lenders that you could finish your rehab yesterday and we can go ahead and start the 30 year amortization process now.

I’ve heard from so many people in the past seven years that I’ve been doing commercial lending, say that seasoning for commercial lenders is too long. We have 30 lenders at our disposal and I have spent years finding lenders they don’t really worry about seasoning too much. They just want to know you’ve done with the property what you’re looking to do and now how can we assist you put this into a 30 year amortization schedule so you can keep the most equity in the property in case you need to sell it and also at the same you’re also receiving the max monthly cash flow that you can get from your property. I have specifically hand-picked and these hand-picked these lenders to ensure that the client gets the best deal that can be offered. But remember we are not traditional bank financing. But our leverage is an interest rates we get sometimes five applications a day and we have over 40 branch managers nationwide.

@Josiah Mosley

I don't recommend starting with an FHA loan. Eventually when you have more than five properties you will have to put them on a portfolio loan and FHA does not do this.

We have lenders that will set up folks with exposure limits are pretty much a line of credit and then as you do fixing flips and you like what you have you can throw them over the fence into a 30 year amortization bucket so you only have one payment on your portfolio.

@N/A N/A

Can you show your experience? Because we have lenders to the set folks up with exposure limits or lines of credit. We have one contractor right now he’s helped with over 100 flips in the past five years but he’s never done one for himself. He has experience he’s got some money in the bank but he was preapproved for $1.4 million off of his assets. Exposure limit takes about 14 to 21 days to set up and closings after that or 14 days or less.
