In Dallas, investors are regularly getting deals around 70% to 74% (that is the purchase + rehab / ARV).

The only two ways to rectify this are (1) purchase the property far below market price or (2) significantly increase the property net income usually through some method of “repositioning”. 

@Moshe MarcianoI recently helped an investor from Orange County purchase a single family home here in San Diego.

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $294,000 Sale price: $355,000 Seller was behind on pay HOA payments and in risk for losing the property.

My team is looking to purchase a new property each month of 2025.

In Berlin, rental arbitrage has been very profitable, with average annual margins of 25-40% after all costs but before taxes, so shifting to a market where arbitrage is barely breaking even is definitely a reality check.Given your experience, would you say the best way to enter the market now is through purchasing properties with financing?

Step 1: Get preapproved for an FHA loan for the purchase price you are looking for.Step 2: Connect with builders until you find a few that will finance the construction of your home. 

What if I told you that you could purchase this property at 20-30% of the initial price, would you take that deal? 

Additionally, we have a decent amount invested in retirement accounts, which we plan to continue building over time.As part of the move, we’ll be purchasing a larger home.

To defer all tax you must purchase in total at least as much as your net sale.
