But also, even as Joe points out in his book, the true value of a syndicator is pulling together all the pieces.  

I would keep track of of all the losses, and work with a CPA.

Hi I'm gege new to the site starting the Wholesale investment and need help finding seller, where should I brand myself is there an email pitch or a call pitch I can send to seller, like people in foreclosure, or bankruptcy, or late payment and where will I get the ARV, Repair Value, Offer The price that you need to get it under contract for and  where do I get the contract form and if I get a seller and a buyer how do I get a legal person to handle all the paper work for closing.

I have one long term partnership that we share capital but I still do all the work ( rain maker) he is a cpa so he does do the books and tax return though :)  WE built one subdivision together were he put in 500k and I made him 1.2 mil in 18 months net profit so that was not bad.

I'm Paul from NorCal, passionate about real estate investing for long term rentals I'm particularly passionate about finding deals outside of California Excited to learn and connect with you all! 

Happy to meet you all! 

Fix and flip for profit was kind of a no brainer since I could do all the work myself.

Here's the deal:Purchase Price (PP): $95kRenovation Budget (via HML): $60kTotal All-In Cost: $155kARV (After Repair Value): Around $200kRefinance (via DSCR Loan): 7% interest, 30-year fixedRefinance Details:After the refi, I will pay back the Hard Money Loan (HML) at 11.95% with 3 points:HML: $60,000Interest/fees: $3,585Other costs: $1,800Total to pay back HML: $65,385After the refi, I will have $84,615 left in cash.Cash Flow & Expenses:Expected Rent Income: $1,700/monthProperty Management (PM): $126/monthInsurance: $100/monthTaxes: $126/monthMortgage: $1,043.75/monthTotal Expenses: $1,395.75/monthSo my monthly cash flow is about:$1,700 - $1,395.75 = $304.25/month in cash flow.Return on Investment:Cash Invested After Refi: About $18,385 (after paying off HML and closing costs).Annual Cash Flow: $304.25 * 12 = $3,651Cash-on-Cash Return (CoC): $3,651 / $18,385 = 19.8%I didn’t account for maintenance costs since it’s a full gut rehab, and everything is brand new.

The art and science of it all is that you don't lead with "I want to make an offer on your house", instead, you ask the homeowner "how can I help you?"

Note it often is not a result of significant NOI change (excluding some markets where a lot of new units have been added). 3 recent studies show it is cheaper to rent than own in virtually all of the largest US markets.
