I would recommend reading the book, "the abc's of real estate" by Ken Mcelroy. I believe he breaks down the evaluation part of it in chapter 7 but most importantly he describes the type of team you need to build along the way to make things happen for you. Since reading the book, I'm in contract to purchase my first 10 unit. It's changed the way I see numbers and negotiate on my terms. More importantly - it will give you a sense of confidence knowing you have done your homework. This book give you the good, the bad and the ugly! Good luck!

Hi Sacramento Investors,

I am looking to build a list of cash buyers, specifically for Buy & Hold Investors and Flippers. The few deals I may have (90% sure) coming up will be for 2 duplexes (total of 4 units) and currently negotiating another duplex. Please message me your contact information and I can send the details of the properties once I have them lock in contract. Thanks!

Hi Experts, 

I am in contract and negotiating a deal currently and have spent a lot of time making sure I dot my i's and cross my t's but I know part checking out is also getting some expert advice and opinion from this group of folks.  

Details:  The multi-unit that I am purchasing is 5 duplexes located on a single parcel (10 units total).  The purchase price is $375K and will need about $160K worth of work.  That includes connecting sewer and water to the public since it is currently on septic and well.  Most of the units are actually in decent shape and the total cost to renovate the homes is included in the $160K rehab cost (from my contractor).  Total in all - I will be in this deal at about $535K.  Currently the owner of this property 

has left the units in low rents and have not really spent the time to properly manage the units.  Her husband pass away years ago and they have kept these same tenants in here for over 6-8 years and she doesn't really want to do much with rent increase, etc.  Here are the current numbers on the performance of the home: 

Address Type Sq Ft Rent
4102 2 bed 1 bath 945 $250.00
4102 -A 2 bed 1 bath 945 $550.00
4102 -B 2 bed 1 bath 945 $550.00
4102 - C 2 bed 1 bath 945 $550.00
4106 A 3 bed 1 bath 945 $550.00
4106 B 3 bed 1 bath 945 $550.00
4110 3 bed 1 bath 945 $550.00
4110 A 3 bed 1 bath 945 $-
4110 B 3 bed 1 bath 945 $-
4110 C 3 bed 1 bath 945 $-
Total 9450 $3,550.00

Type Amount
Income Rental Income $42,600.00
Total Income $42,600.00
Expense Utilities $1,500.00
Water/Sewer $1,896.00
Taxes $2,000.00
Management Fee (8%) $3,408.00
Home Insurance (both) $3,000.00
Vacancy (7%) $2,982.00
Total Expenses   $14,786.00
Net Operating Income $27,814.00 

My property manager and I have determine that the rents should be a lot higher which after repairs and renovation should be yielding about $800 avg rents.  So here are my future numbers: 

Address Type Sq Ft Rent
4102 2 bed 1 bath 945 $800.00
4102 -A 2 bed 1 bath 945 $800.00
4102 -B 2 bed 1 bath 945 $800.00

I am getting hard money loan with these terms: 

LOAN AMOUNT: 80% of the purchase price and 80% of construction costs


COLLATERAL: 1st DOT on subject property

TERMS OF LOAN:

  • Type: Multiple advance loan
  • Length of Term: 270 days (looking to extend this to 12 months)
  • Rate: 10% per annum with interest paid monthly
  • Loan Fee: 2% of loan amount paid at closing by Borrower
  • Doc Fee: None
  • Prepayment Penalty: None
  • Borrower Down Payment: 20% of purchase price and 20% of construction costs (can be held at a security deposit in lieu of a downpayment, in which case the loan amount will be 100% of the purchase price & construction costs)


APPRAISAL REQUIREMENT:

  • Approved appraisal required to indicate the 'As-Is' Value of the subject property to be at least equal to the purchase price and 'As Complete' Value of at least 70% Loan-to-Value, paid for by Borrower

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Review and approval of Borrower's itemized construction budget
  • Construction funds to be advanced in draws as requested by Borrower according to % completion, approved 3rd party inspection company will inspect property at time of each draw request, $150 fee per draw/inspection, detailed instructions attached
  • Review and approval of Purchase Contract
  • Review and approval of Borrower’s brief description of experience, current credit report (Authorization Form attached), proof of funds, last 2 years tax returns, W-2’s and pay stubs and additional info as requested by Lender
  • Acceptable drive-by inspection of property by Lender
  • Individual guarantee required if Borrower is a corporation, LLC, partnership, etc.
  • Interest payments shall be paid to Lender through automatic payment service (auto debt)
  • Title insurance and property insurance acceptable to Lender paid by Borrower
  • Other documentation and information may be required as determined necessary by Lender

My end goal here is to buy and hold with the BRRR strategy to get most of my capital investment funds out. Base on my calculations on my future performance and a cap rate of 9%, this property should be valued at or about $762K, which I have talk to local commercial lender that can refi into a 5/7 yr fix loan amortize over 30 yrs @ 65% LTV. I know I may not be 100% cash out at the end of the day on this deal but I do want to hear from you guys your opinion on the deal itself, any areas that I may have overlooked, can there be more value added, is my cap rate too conservative and if there is anything else I would need to know. Thanks again.

Looks like there is new windows at the property.  I would double check to see if this is a owner builder who is trying to rehab this himself/herself and running into some sort of issue or is this an investor.  But the deal is too tight to squeeze any profit.  Renegotiate the price would seem the most logical due to it present conditions.  If you don't mind investing a few hundred to obtain a true home inspection report, I find it helpful and successful to present to owner (larger problems) to renegotiate a deal.

It sounds like you are trying to present as many options as possible to make the deal work. If your trying to buy as a rental and have minimal cash invested and possibly refi out of the seller finance. I think you may need to run your numbers again. I recommend using the BP rental calculator or the brrrr calculator to make sure you are accounting for expenses. I would recommend contacting a local property management company to see what it would possibly rent for. On top of that, you'll need to know what your exit strategy and requirements are when you get this property rented and cash flowing to see if you can even pull money out. I think a brrrr method of refi would allow you to do 75% LTV base on ARV but to me, if the property was listed for $240k and didn't sell, you'll need to question that as well. Is the home over price, is the true ARV less. Good luck with the deal if it works out.

I'm starting to see a mix market at the moment. Some REOs even when they say these were long gone are out there. Some areas where I didn't think $150k home exist seems to have appeared. Could be due to various factors like reos and sellers competing with each other but the market seems to still be holding strong. Like the before comment - you'll need to base your strategy on your overall goal. I think we have about 3 years for the market to top off but hey I don't have the magic wand!

The question is why are you trying to do this now? How come you didn't buy it under the LLC? I had this situation come up with my investment before because I bought it under my name for financing purposes and wanted to switch to LLC to protect myself and help with upfront taxes. In any case, check with your title company or attorneys who may be able to advise you on this. Is the property going up for sale or is this a rental property?

Good man! Awhile back as an agent represented a buyer on a flip that was done poorly by the seller/investor, it was hell. Took a year long to rectify the problem and it cost more than what my buyers originally asked for. Good deed and understanding the situation and taking ownership now means less problems and better investments to come. Good luck on future deals and profitable ones too!
