Congrats, on both of those deals and, more importantly, on staying persistent to find your niche.Lots of misinformation on this thread.Andrey is not pitching anything or lyingHe is not expecting 30% IRR on every opportunityFinding and vetting trustworthy sponsors is not as hard as non-syndication investors thinkPerforming diligence on sponsors takes years, not hours or daysMany sophisticated LPs perform extensive diligence on sponsors and opportunities that is not discussed on BP (TLO reports on history of crime, bankruptcies, collections, credit, businesses owned, personal residence owned, employment, family members (including phone numbers), even traffic violations...the list goes on)Many LPs leverage sites like Ian's, 506 group, in-person conferences, and one another to analyze opportunities and sponsors together (it's a lot more sophisticated that the "what do you think about XYZ" posts on BP)There are tons of sponsors and opportunities that don't use short-term, bridge financing or max leverageMost are using 5-12 year debt, with inception LTVs in the 70s and year 2-3 LTVs in the 60s (and carry high reserves on top of that)The opportunities discussed on BP are only a small fraction of what's available in the marketPrudent syndication investing is just like anything else in life...it takes diligence and time.

You still may be vastly overpaying. 

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

I'm a little thin to do this project myself. Would love to wholesale it to someone. It should be about 60k profit, about a month and half, 2 months conservatively, on rehab. Deal is in northern california and looking ...

Simply analyze the strategy and how you could do it better or differently.

Clearly there's a lot more ROI and work for a BRRRR.After finishing David Greene's BRRRR book and combing the forums, my impression is it'll come down to building the right team and doing our due diligence on finding and analyzing deals, estimated ARV, rehab costs, and rent /demand for an area with the most conservative estimates.
