Vac $100

Repairs $100

Unit 1 1400

Unit 2 1400

Rent $2800

Expenses 1532

Cash flow 1268

Cash flow x 12

1268x 12 months =15216 annually

Down pay 62500

Closing 5000

15216 \. 67500 = 0.225 x 100 =

22.55% ROI first year

These are approx expenses I just added $200 to the mortgage of $1332

You may have the wrong person, I didn't ask what is COC nor ROI, But I do like these numbers!

Of course it makes sense, These are actually good numbers! (I'm assuming that there is no PMI due to the fact that you put down 25%).

These are numbers that can allow someone to sleep at night as long as you rent to financially solid tenants.

A 22.55% ROI or COC (whichever you'd rather go by) is a beautiful deal and is hard to find for some!

That's a complete 100% ROI in under 5 years, impressive.

My experience on my first property has yet to come, but I am sure I will make a mistake as it is my first property. As long as I learn I don't care that I make a few mistakes, because I plan to take notes and learn from them. 

I'm targeting a 9% COC return, or a rehab that can allow me to raise sweat equity to fund the next investment. I'm taking as much as information as I can right now because there is plenty that can go wrong with a first time home owner process. I plan the Buy and Hold strategy.

I haven't read the book yet, but I want to hear everyone's thoughts as well.

@Bob Okenwa That's an optimistic view point, others are against robots taking the industry because of contractors that could be put of work, contractors as well.. etc etc. But the time built, is in fact impressive nonetheless. 12-18 months on average to 6 weeks.

A robot built home in upstate New York hits the market for $299k as a completely finished home with complete utilities and all. 

Reports say this home took 6 weeks to build from ground up, and saved 60% costs (due to not having to pay labor). Waiting for more news to develop after whomever buys it, reports if things run solid or not. 

Thoughts??

What exact factors determine if a home is eligible for a USDA loan? I live close to a city, but I also live close to rural areas as well. 

Checking to see if this is an option for my first House Hack. 

Thanks in advance

A Real Estate Agent/Investor friend of mine, told me that he saw a rental roommate lease agreement that stated "Absolutely no ziplines". Apparently, there was a zipline set up in the property in the past.

One time, another friend I knew that was evicted out of a commercial property had me go to her office to grab her stuff for her. Once entering her office I Noticed that she hung a "life sized power ranger punching bag".

Now I'm just wondering, what is the the most outlandish thing you guys have seen that someone left or damaged after they vacated your property? I hear horror stories of people who are having troublesome tenants and these days because of Covid, evictions are more rare but I'm curious.

I'm no property owner but I'm currently searching for my first House Hack.

I'm trying to learn as much as I can and I'm curious as to what would be a smarter way to go about liquidating funds for capital growth?

Let's say I rehab a multi-family (originally financed with a conventional loan), Should I refinance? Or just take a loan on the equity? Is it the same thing? Is it different? if so, How? Is a 1031 possible on both?

I have an idea, but I want to hear the thoughts of BiggerPockets.


Thanks!

Hi @Leonard Leon you're right of course. The MA multi-family market is a very difficult one right now. We almost only do multi=families and it's tough to find clients what they're looking for without ending up in a bidding war. That being said the benefit of househacking is that you can buy a duplex through FHA at 3.5% down or conventionally through a credit union at 5%-10% down, if you try to build one yourself the out of pocket is going to be much higher.

I'll be honest I've never done new construction before but we have explored it on a few project a few times. Typically acquiring the land is the first step and finding something that is permitted for a multi-family is not an easy task. If you get some land that is considered shovel ready you'll pay a bit of a premium for it, otherwise if its raw land you'll need to spend capital to get it shovel ready and permitted. The few times we've looked into building new construction typically the bank is looking to lend 65 - 70% of the funds to build the property, which means you're looking at 30-35% down and sometimes they wanted us to acquire the land and get it permitted before they would finance the new construction. 

We were exploring doing a modular build which could be a good middle ground. You'll still need to find and acquire the land but most modular companies will provide financing with 10-20% down until the house is delivered, then you just refinance it with a traditional bank at conventional rates and it should be "move in ready" 30-60 days after the modular is dropped on the foundation. You'll still need to do the siding, flooring, counters, and connect all the utilities but its alot faster than going with a stick build new construction. 

 I've bought and sold 100's of properties and have never done a new construction project myself. The reason being is I find the financing harder and the project a lot more risky (timeliness, cost, permitting, market timing, etc) when looking at new construction vs something that is already built. 

I hope this helps feel free to reachout if you have any questions.

This is legendary information Jon! I also learned something new from this! Thank you
