Scope of work:

  • Kitchen renovation- granite counters and white shaker cabinets
  • Install dishwasher
  • New roof
  • Master bathroom renovation (flooring and vanity/mirror/new door)
  • Bathroom floors new tile
  • Installation of vinyl plank flooring throughout
  • Swap out light fixtures/fans
  • Install new bathroom fixtures
  • Back porch room ceiling repair
  • All new doors inside
  • Exterior “spruce up” of landscaping
  • Painting all interior
  • Power washing exterior, paint shutters, touchup woodwork outside
  • New electrical wiring and panel (swap out cloth wire)
  • One new window on front of home

Thank you,

Hi all, what is new construction, ground up development costs coming in at in this area? I have a tear down under contract and plan to build. 

Here's an example of the level of finish we're expecting to target: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6033-Kello...

Are there any restrictions on Canadians acting as Private Money Lenders on USA real estate projects? I have Canadian friends and family interested in a project I'm closing on in MN next week. Can they just wire money to title as my PML?

Thanks,

Amazing comments. Thank you. I sadly missed out on this one. It was fabulous deal that got away…..:(

The problem with long distance investing like this deal was is that you are competing with other investors that have boots on the ground and can get the numbers they need to make a deal happen while the long distance deal is still in the analysis stage.  I know that there are long distance deals that work but if they require renovation and you do not have boots on the ground to actually look at the property quickly and then make an offer, you will often find yourself looking at the deal driving off with another buyer.  

If you are looking at a long distance deal, do the upfront activities like get a contractor or someone that can look at the property critically to let you know if the deal is good or not.  Then you will have the information you need quickly to pull the trigger and make an offer.

In this case, finding out what woudl be required to split a lot specifically from the county is easy but can take time which you might not have.  Getting people lined up to look at a property in advance will also get you the information you want quickly.  Hope this helps.
You are exactly right! I worked madly to line up all the information I needed to confidently provide non-refundable EMD. I actually did have boots on the ground to walk the home and provide me videos but so did the other investors who then submitted the same offer with $15K non-refeundable EMD.

I am in the inspection period on a property in a great North Tampa neighborhood called Carrollwood. The property sits on a double lot and has the following characteristics:

  • -3/2, 2,141 sq. Ft, built in1958
  • -Roof is 5 years old
  • -AC is operational, but we don’t know its age
  • -Ranch style home
  • -Lot size is 167 X 200, .0766 acres, three times the size of most other lots in this neighborhood

My plan is to "sell" or wholesale the property and half the lot to a fix and flipper through a double closing (the agent didn't want a wholesaler in the deal), demise the full lot into two, then sell the leftover lot on the retail market.

Any guidance another professional can provide around demising Tampa lots, ie: do's and don'ts and who to contact and estimates for rehab would be helpful. The home is a full gut job except that plumbing and electrical is fine. Is $45/sq ft. a good placeholder to use in my underwriting for the Tampa fix and flip market?

Thanks,

Rhea

Thank you, all, for the warm welcome. I've been pouring over the resources here on BP, read several of the BP books, listened to hundreds of the BP and Straight UP Chicago podcasts, poured over the SAAS tools, started comping and evaluating deals and found several Meetups to attend. Nothing like jumping right in!

Hello everyone - My name is Rhea Campbell. I'm a licensed real estate broker practicing commercial real estate (office tenant representation) and just getting started building my personal investment portfolio. I'm focused on small multifamily and distressed residential properties (condo and SFH) in downtown Chicago, North and Northwest suburbs that can be purchased creatively, fixed, and flipped, or held. I have experience running contractors, equalizing construction bids, talking to clients, structuring creative deal terms, negotiating complex contracts, and I love hard work!

I'm looking for introductions to investor-friendly agents, property management companies, hard money lenders, and others in this ecosystem to do outreach and get connected.

Who are the players I need to know in IL, MI, WI, and IN? What's the deal landscape like in this region for SubTo, seller finance, and other more creative methods to purchase real estate?

I’m looking forward to interacting with you all. Please let me know how I can help you.

Rhea
