Thank you! Lot's of California folks on this thread looking to invest out of state. And good luck with the house hack! Lot's of people using that strategy with great success. @Xavier Marin can chime in and share his experience (he's got a GREAT story).

@Katherine Rosa happy to share, and glad you found some encouragement in the post! I’m in Eastvale, just down the road from Fontana. Feel free to reach out whenever!

Do you have a target market in mind?

@Hud Malik thank you! Read my response to @Erwin Miciano. I even included a template I’ve recently used :)

@Armand Ngassam sure thing! My first suggestion is to use the BP BRRRR Calculator. It truly walks you through every expense you need to consider.

But it’s basically this formula:

Gross Rents - Principal Payment - Interest Payment - Taxes - Insurance - Property Management - Vacancy - CapEx - Maintenance = Cash Flow

@Erwin Miciano absolutely! It wasn’t a super complicated process. I googled all of the banks and credit unions in that region and contacted the mortgage loan officers asking if they would be willing to fund 100% of the purchase and the rehab. I have THREE banks that have said yes so far.

Each bank has their own stipulations, but you basically have to find a really good deal, where there’s a ton of equity left over after the rehab is complete.

Here’s a template that I used recently. Hope this helps! :

Hello NAME!

My name is Tony Robinson and my partner and I invest in property in Shreveport. In the past, we've worked with Home Federal and Aneca to help finance our investments, but we're looking to expand our network.

Both Home Federal and Aneca offer a loan program where they fund 100% of the purchase price and the rehab, if the total cost is less than 75% of what the property will appraise for once the repairs are completed. Do you offer something similar?

Between my partner and I, we have a combined annual income over $XXX,XXX and credit scores above XXX. We love the relationships we've built, but there's a limit to how many deals we can have open with them at once.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
