Post: House hacking advice

Hey everyone, how do you determine how much money you put into renovation when you're doing a house hack? Is it worth it to only renovate one side of a duplex and then try to sell? Or is it a better idea to renovate both sides? TIA @Jordan Moorhead

Guru  Trainer whatever you want to call it all works the same.

you have the come on events that are either free or very cheap..  then they will usually sell a 3 day package that does a little more in depth

and that one can cost 2 to 5k.. then they go for the advanced training and those usually run 20 to 50k..  

And for many its worth it.. If they actually have capacity to transact.. but if they do .. someone like you a  veteran commercial broker is really all they need.. Someone who is looking to get into that asset space but lacks capacity and knowledge many times can find it there.

and of course majority do nothing. but you will have 10 to 20% take off no doubt about it.. I have been funding students of guru's for 20 plus years in the SFR flip and OOS rental game.. So know it works :)

Also you would be amazed at those expensive  boot camps the 40k ones how many real estate brokers sign up and pay for those.. Being a vendor at many of those events over the years ( introduced as a lender or capital partner) I have chatted with many.. Also you will get a fair amount of folks that say just sold their business for some amount of millions and want to learn this stuff and 40k is just play money to them.

And of course you have the others the dreamers who have to put it on CC and go into serious debt to do it.. ( which of course i would never advise to do)  but then again Hewlett and Packard started with a 15k loan in Palo Alto so who knows.

 Hey Jay. Its hard to not believe that these expensive mentorship  programs work.  There's podcasts interviewing people who used the mentorship to be really successful in RE. But there's always that skepticism. Could all these people be actors? Making up their life story? Just seems difficult to talk to someone in person whose actually done it. But at the same time, if you could invest 40k now to even possibly be successful then imho i think its worth a try. But man would i feel stupid if it didnt work.

Hey everyone! I'm was wondering, will lenders always require a sponsor for larger loan amounts if you don't have any experience with multi family property management/investing? Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this post.

And if so, how would a brand new investor go about finding a sponsor in order to gain the necessary experience to not need a sponsor in future deals?

I prefer this situation...it's more efficient for you.  Your summary is right on...make an offer and adjust after the walk through (if needed).  You have leverage at that point.


 His realtor is an idiot, Wants him to make an offer without even getting in, total waste of time, another reason I never use them, 


It's not his realtor...it's the sellers' realtor and requirement.  As others have mentioned, this is a common practice with a basic five minute solution.


 Common hmm,, I am doing these 10 years about 50 mill in deals, never once has anyone said, make me an offer before you see it. Complete waste of time. Fill out all the BS realtors paperwork, and you may not even like the layout of the house. Very INefficient. 


 I can definitely see your point of view sir but as a new investor, I think this may be an opportunity for me considering most experienced buyers may pass it up just because they don't want to go through all the trouble or deal with the seller and they have the capital that allows them to be more picky. Could be both a learning opportunity and a good place to start for me. Not going to rush into anything but I can see both sides. 

thank you sir

Quote from @Douglas Mallett:

some brokers will put this restriction on listings... there is an easy way around it.

just submit an offer with inspection period and/or neighborhood review, and take a look. 

amend the offer after walk through, or terminate.

if the listing broker is not forthcoming, sometimes a call to the managing broker can clear things up. 

that's all.

all the best!

Thank you so much for your reply.I swear I love this community and other mentors who put their info out there for others to learn from! I cannot wait to help other people as much as everyone here helps me and everyone else. This is one main reason why I got into RE is because I realize I can help other people along their journey just like everyone here and other places has helped me. RE is beautiful in that way. It allows people to bring real value to others. There are other ways in our daily lives to bring value to others but RE brings a value unlike anything else. 

Thank you again!

I have a deal I'm interested in and would like to know more about it but the broker specifically says "there can be no showings until a contract is executed" what exactly does that mean? I understand I have to submit an offer before I can see the property but How am I supposed to come up with an accurate purchase price if I don't even know what the insides of the units/amenities look like? Do I just submit an offer based on the information/pictures provided and then retrade if there's things that come up during the due diligence period after I have already submitted the offer? 

thanks everyone! 


 You are 100% not understanding the realtor, NOBODY is going to ask you to put in an offer until you see it. If the realtor is really saying hey sign the contract before you see it , she should be disbarred.  

PLEASE connect with someone doing deals, learn than apply what you learn, 


 I'm not understanding the realtor?....... this is why I made this post in hopes that someone COULD help me understand the realtor without me having to ask them directly. This is a multifamily property. 

thank you for your insight 

 It does not make a difference if SF or MF. Keep it simple. As , are you telling me you want me to give you an offer without even going in? If they says yes well something is seriously wrong. Again please connect with someone doing deals, 

All the ebst  

Thanks Bob! I appreciate your reply and advice and I apologize for any inconvenience. I thought this website was for both veteran investors and beginning investors alike to post questions and/or interests. 
It is sir, please do not misunderstand me. You will only gather so much information online. Best to connect with someone and learn hands on, just like I did about 10 years ago. 
All the best to you 
I apologize sir for misunderstanding. I admire your ability to learn hands on and work hard to get to where you are now.

If they really will not let you walk/inspect the property without an executed contract, then you have 2 options.....1) run, 2) offer really low and see what they say.

I'd just pass, I don't like playing games like this.

Yeah my initial question for the realtor was why the property has been listed for so long (about a year) and his reply was "all of the offers we've been getting have been below what it's worth". I then asked him if I could see the property and he replied with that 🤣. Guess that explains why he's been getting low offers🤷‍♂️

I've seen this before and it's total BS and for lack of a better term...stupid. I've seen it where there are tenants in place that the seller doesn't want to know about that they are planning on selling the property. Of course, you'll definitely want an inspection contingency and I wouldn't put an EMD in prior to seeing the property. Good luck.


 Thank you for your reply sir! I completely agree and that's why I'm wondering how I should proceed. Guess I should just pass up this one considering something schiesty is going on.
