Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $39,000 Sale price: $342,000 Held property for 3 years and rented out the property for 2 years with a rental profit total of $22100 How did you finance this deal?

I'm a local real estate agent and would love to help you out on making this deal work.

@Brett K. we manage in Class C areas, so have to deal with this a lot.Options:1) Boardup - pretty useless as easy to rip the off and advertises the property as vacant.2) Armor Guard door frame reinforcement with temp double-key deadbolts.

My Canadian partners and I bought a Class B 144 unit in Houston, Texas for 77k/door and we’re actively looking for another similar deal.

May not sound like a big deal but i tried to create the account under my biz and purchase a sub-to through the account, and lack of outbound wire was a killer for me.

@Jordan Miller most Class A & B rental properties bought since 2021 really don't cashflow from day one.Class B will take 1-3 years to start showing cashflow.Class A, 3-5 years.Current investors keep making the mistake of looking back at deals from 5-10 years ago when prices & interest rates were both a lot lower, but NOT rental rates.

David, this deal could work, but I’d want to dig into a few things first. 80% occupancy with long-term tenants is solid, but what happens if a major tenant leaves?

Hi Vijay, Can you provide pics, the zip code and numbers so readers can evaluate your deal? 

What makes something a "deal" today is not yester-markets.
