Hey OOS investors,

I am thinking of replacing the property management. How can a PM f'up not receiving section 8 funds is baffling to me. I understand everyone is a human, mistakes happen. I noticed that for last quarter of 2023 I didn't receive rent from the housing authority. In January on grilling the PM staff they had no clue what left hand is doing and what right hand is doing. They had no answers to my questions regarding why housing authority didn't pay. Granted the tenants aren't the best quality, their list of complaints is every-ready and I have put them on notice to evict. And hoping to find new tenants and resume my CF. However I feel the PM should have notified me early on about the complaints from tenants and non-receipt of rents from the housing authority (it is still a mystery on why the rents have not been received). 

I am looking to hear some experiences on switching PMs on your OOS rentals.

TIA.

Nick.

Quote from @Satish L.:

Hello, I recently closed on my first (duplex) property in Cleveland to BRRRR. The property is in decent shape and requires medium rehab. As a newbie to this, I'd like to know what are some ‘typical' rehab items/strategy to maximize ARV while keeping the rehab cost low. Any advice from investors and contractors would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

CLE is an interesting market. Depending on which part of CLE (or the suburb) you bought in, you could spend very little to a lot. Your question is so open ended the answer would be - it depends.

All the best in this adventure and welcome to REI!!

@Shane Kelly @Nick Shri @Drew Sygit

Thanks all for your feedback! It’s wild to me that people are cashflowing off their first year in these cities with these numbers. Do people tend to not factor in certain expenses to inflate their cashflow? 

Anh - current interest rates won't let you CF positive unless you buy property with high equity (buy cheap or put bigger down payment). Gone are the 3.5 - 4% interest rates where you could CF positive with 25% down right out the gate..

CLE prices are at all time high, some people thought last year was all-time high, but I am still seeing prices higher than last year or the year prior.

Increase your capex to 8% to be conservative. Also, on a Multifamily you have to put down 25%

Quote from @Account Closed:

I am a brand new investor and I came upon a potential opportunity in Greenville, SC.  Due to me focusing on decreasing my bad debts, I will have to present this opportunity to a partner who has the financing. It is a 5bd/4ba with 4bd/3ba on main floor and 1bd/1ba in basement.

Here are the estimated numbers:

   Purchase Price: 230,000-250,000 (Listed for 280,000) 

  Full Gut Rehab: 100,000-120,000 (I have never done a renovation before so I am just guessing high)

.  Refinance: 400,000-420,000

.  Rent: 3,500-4,000

I would prefer to BRRRR and hopefully house hack after completed as my first option with a fix and flip second option.

My questions are how should I present this investment opportunity to a potential partner and what ideal type of partner should I find?

Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Jake Fenton

If you have never done a reno before, you will have hard time getting funding.

If its a full gut reno your PP is way high, I generally like to see under 50% of ARV, and keep in mind - ARV is bound to drop (at least that is the speculation from most RE investors).

You may want to provide a full breakdown of Rehab costs, full breakdown of holding costs and any other variable costs to your potential investor/partner, that may work for you.

Quote from @Briana Martin:

My husband and I live in a home we own in Southern California and are looking to buy our first investment property. We are parents of 2 kids under 2, so we need our first property to be as low risk and hands off as possible. We are not willing to house hack (where you rent out rooms in your house). Though I do like the idea of buying a property and renting out individual bedrooms (is that still called house hacking?) but not living in the property. I like the idea of buying something cheap in the midwest, however with such low cash flow, I imagine we'd have to buy tons and tons of those to make it worthwhile. We are leaning towards buying a property through Memphis Investment Properties and using a HELOC for the down payment. Any advice or suggestions?

There is nothing like 100% hands-off, that would be investing in a syndicate deal, but if you plan to own a property on your own then you will always have to be involved to some degree. Turnkey properties will have the least hands-on involvement on your part. If you plan to go TK route, make sure you research the location well. Main stream media and every investor I talk to speak of upcoming recession. You have to be aware of your tenant's ability to pay when recession hits, hence the location matters. All the best to you in starting your REI journey!!
