Post: Rules of thumb. 70%-repairs etc

So I understand the idea behind buying flips 70%-repairs. 

But, I came across a deal that is maybe 75% of comps and needs nearly no repairs. So repairs will take a couple days at most and we can list right away. Is this still something you would go after? Or is the 30% necessary for possible issues etc. This is an all cash deal so no holding cost issues. Buy and hold it until we get our price. Buy for 85k, list for 109k. 2 close comps sold at 114k within last 4 months.

Does a Trust provide protection within the IRA as well?

Example: If I buy a house Sub2 the debt and put it in a Trust with the beneficiary being the IRA does that provide protection from a slip and fall suit, etc?

Kind of what I was asking. I dont have time to do door-to-door but I would be willing to add other elements that have some possibility of working. I forgot to mention Social Media (boosting facebook posts.)

What do you use to drive leads? 

I use signs and postcards. I find that signs are random and difficult to predict but cheap. Postcards are expensive and low leads per but predictable and more targeted. 

Anyone want to give away their methods?

Are you saying you are buying rentals that rent for $500/month for $7000?

For me a rental that is renting for $500 can be purchased for $20k in a bad area or $25-30 in a little better area.

Yes it is harder and harder.  Keep pushing, marketinf, searching, being creatI've with lease-option, sub2, etc...  or look at another city or other State????

In South Carolina, I'm surprised??? Long time i didn't analize this market though.... In California, I can relate...when you find one that cash-flow as a buy and hold you are happy. I found one in 3 months!!! Looking for my next one already as soon as this one is sold to B&H buyer or end buyer. Hope it will not take another 3 

@Philip Klink, do I understand you said 40-50 times the gross rents.. this is ridiculous...  people are out of their mind???? 10-12x, maybe up to 16x in hot market like California, but never more than that...

Number numbers numbers! Need to make sense and give some ROI, even if not so much, with the depreciation, amortization, appreciation and cash-flow, you know that a break even ROI can get you 45.73% ROI... so be sure you analyze every aspects of a deal.

Please let me know if need some help.

I did an eddm for an area I wanted to move to actually. Sub2 or purchase was my focus. I probably could have gotten better results going after a list of expired listings or whatever. I just wanted something in this area specifically. Ill do a list next time.

Use sub2s, lease option assignment, JVs w sellers in minor remodels in addition to wholesaling 

Make money every month

April thru August is the time to crank it

 I am targeting sub2, cheap rentals, wholesale, 1031 exchanges, mortgages, anything I can get. Just getting less calls about selling and more about people trying to rent stuff, buy from me, other wholesalers, buyers, etc.

40-50X rent for cheap rentals in badish areas.  Flips are 70% of arv -repairs.

The question almost is...should you by in a hot market?
