Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Peachtree City.

Purchase price: $400,000
Cash invested: $400,000

Worked with partner in Georgia to rehab and flip over a dozen properties from 2018 to 2021. All Single Family Residence. Goal was to fix & flip, though some were then held as rentals.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I always wanted to fix & flip properties. After meeting my partner out-of-state, it made sense to partner together on rehabs. Though sadly I couldn't be as involved in the day to day decisions since I lived out of state from the properties. But I'm still glad to have been a part of them and learned much in the process. I live in Seattle, so rehabbing in this area is too stressful.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I met my partner though another investor colleague of mine. I was able to provide capital, so they focused on the day to day.

How did you finance this deal?

Cash

How did you add value to the deal?

Providing capital and some input also.

What was the outcome?

Most of the rehabs were then sold for decent profits, and some we adjusted the contracts because my partner wanted to keep some as rentals. This aspect was a bit stressful because it added more time to these particular projects because my capital was tied up quite a bit longer than I expected.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

It's okay to say no. My partner wanted to keep some as rentals, but after the delays because of the pandemic, adjusting our contracts again and again to extend time was stressful for me.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

no.

Investment Info:

Mobile home buy & hold investment in South Carolina.

Purchase price: $76,000 

Cash invested: $76,000

A mobile home park with 11 mobile home slots. Part of a double lot I purchased that also includes a SFH.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I have been listening to Bigger Pockets and Brandon talk about Mobile Home Parks for over a year now and knew I wanted to purchase one.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

My colleague came across one he couldn't pull the trigger on, so he wholesaled it to me. The potential value was so great I paid what he asked, including a 33% wholesale fee. Totally worth it!

How did you finance this deal?

Cash

How did you add value to the deal?

We are currently making improvements and slowly increasing rentals to FMV also.

What was the outcome?

Still working on it, but it's going well so far and we've already tripled the rental income in just 4 months, and still have more rental income potential there.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

That finding mobile homes to purchase and MOVE is quite challenging, especially in this current market.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

no.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I wanted to purchased a mobile home park, and this particular property came as a double lot that also included a single family home along with the 11 mobile home slots.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

How did you add value to the deal?

We have had it going on 4 months now and with the help of my property manager we have already more than tripled the rental income and will again double it from now in 2021.

What was the outcome?

Still working on it, but it's going well with improvements and gains in rental income amounts.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

That buying and trying to MOVE mobile homes can be a challenging feat.
