Hi all,

Looking to start my first marketing lead gen campaign and a question came up from one of the guys I have been talking to get leads. I was asked what my plan was with this campaign. My response would be as follows: "I am looking for 2-4 units in XYZ market. If the opportunity that comes via lead gen (cold call/text) does not work for ME (either the numbers aren't what I want or I don't have the financing to carry the deal) then I will wholesale it or JV with someone who might be interested (could be a flip))"


Please let me know what else you would suggest in terms of a plan/next steps when you speak to a prospective seller and the deal does not work for you. What am I missing?

Thank you

Matt

Where do I find tax delinquent tax records for Dauphin county, PA? I tried searching this but could not see a list. Seems like the 'Upset' sale is what I am looking for. Correct me if I am wrong. I found a PDF for 2020 but the latest one will not be published until August.

Thank you in advance.

@Scott Passman Thank you for sharing your experience. I am a newbie and I had a basic question about this statement "This is part of why I chose a lower LTV was to keep positive cash flow while still enabling me to pull out 19k to keep as reserves for the property". If I understand this correctly, you are stating that a higher LTV would have impacted your post refi PITI and therefore would have impacted your cash-flow such that it may not have been +$40?

Thank you @CJ M. and @Jaysen Medhurst. A 100% COC ROI though would be next to impossible where I live :-)

Hi All,

Beginner investor here - reading and listening mode for now. What is considered a good Cash on Cash ROI for the BRRR strategy or is the right number for this also falls into the category of "no one size fits all". I ask because I was running numbers on a demi-detached here in MD and although the cash flow made sense to me (50% of total amount) but the cash on cash ROI was not in double digits. I recall from one of the webinars that Brandon Turner did that looks for 10-12%.

I would appreciate any insights into this AND if this has been answered already in one of the forums then I would appreciate you pointing me out to that. My next read is David Greene's book on BRRR.

TIA

Welcome to real estate investing @Mateen Qureshi! I have long term rentals in Northern Virginia, and a vacation rental in Myrtle Beach. I understand looking at other areas for more reasonable prices, but I will note there are more costs associated with investments properties further away (travel costs, management costs, etc.). You'll figure out what's best for you, though! There's no one size fits all approach.

@Adrienne Green, Thank you for your response. I agree the "no one size fits all approach"

Hi @Mateen Qureshi and welcome to the forums, being a buy and hold investor in DC can be profitable but you may run into cash flow issues as the DC market is extremely tight. Of course there are deals to be found in any market and in any area but a mentor once told me "you either get cash flow or you get appreciation, you dont get both". He could have been wrong but from what I have seen he has been right so far. 

Have you figured out where in DC you want to invest in?

Oh and please read up on the DC Tenant Law and Landlord law because TOPA is something you do not want to have to deal with.

Good luck

@Bola Williams, thank you for the tip. As for the DC market, you right in it being tight. I am not thinking of investing the district anyway. I am thinking more in outer regions of VA and MD and for that I may have to travel out a bit and possibly even build an out of state network.

@Mateen Qureshi and @Taha Tekreeti - this is the time to study; take advantage of the lull to educate yourself on as much as you can. After years of successes and failures, I spent the majority of Fall 2018 and early 2019 reading as much as I could on BP and listening to podcasts. I drove to S. Florida several times each month (just under 3 hours each way) and usually had podcasts on. It helped me refocus and now I'm back in the game. Take in as much as you can. You don't even have to select an area yet, the knowledge will help guide you. Learn, learn, learn! Good luck.

Thank you @Tchaka Owen. Great advice!
