As an owner builder, I built 3 ADUs and 1 JADU (subbed out the structure build and I did all the finish work).

There are probably many posts that contain similar information to this one, but I thought it would be of value to future and existing investors who are starting their journey.We recently completed rehabbing a duplex we bought for $93k and rehabbed for $75k (in retrospect, we could've negotiated a lower price 🤷‍♂️ - discussion for a different post), hitting an ARV of $190k when our target ARV was $170k.Two things that stood out for me that helped us secure a higher ARV that anyone can use in their next BRRRR were:1) Fix the property to be in the top 75th percentile -> To improve our success rate, we consulted with both our agent and our PMC on what kind of materials and finishes the best properties (highest ARV Comps and Rent Rates) had in the area.

I did go on the website and none of the HUD inspection or landlord documents were even able to be downloaded and viewed.

I honestly believe that the cycle isn't finished and there are still good deals to be had, but you can determine that for yourself by doing some research. 

My name is JJ and a really good buddy from my church guided me to this website.

You could rehab a distressed property using a fix-and-flip loan and then refinance the loan into a long-term DSCR once the repairs are finished.

If talking to more builders does not work out to join you on transaction #1+ and you have enough capital and heavy rehab experience along with a GC / builder doing the project many lenders out there will offer you a lower leverage loan for your first project on your own.  60% finished value and 75% LTC is probably achievable without a builder in your company for the loan.
