Don't get me started on the national debt and the amount we pay in interest each year.

@Guillermo PerezPositives:- Equity Built: You now have $70K in equity, which is a solid result for your first deal.Cash Flow Potential: If the property rents well and covers your debt service while providing some cash flow, that’s a win.- Experience: You’ve successfully navigated a purchase, rehab, and refinance, which are the core components of BRRRR.Considerations: - Budget Overrun: Being $27K over budget highlights the importance of tighter cost estimates and contingencies.

The Seller needs $200k now in order to get out of debt.

You divide that $20k by .075 and you get a boost of $260k to the valuation.Allowing you to take the property back to the bank, get a new loan with $208k of additional debt on the property, pay yourself back that investment and now you have enough cash to buy a $1M deal and use that strategy over and over while scaling exponentially.

Consider lease optioning the “now keeper” and walking the created debt forward if you lease option buyer can cash you out. 

Mobile homes are treated differently depending on if it has had "elimination of title" or not.

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

There is life stages to investing, and the math is clear that strategic debt use, strategic leverage, pyramiding, appreciation, is the wealth generator. 

They were selling on pro forma, but the market and the debt market have shifted, and it's aa lot harder to achieve higher pricing with lower rents.We've purchased over 2,000 units, and the simple answer to the question is that they are either mom and pops and run their businesses with ZERO KPIs, they do not want to risk losing tenants if they raise rents, and they don't treat their asset as a business.When you take over, it can be difficult to get rents to market if they are very suppressed.

There are a bunch of ways to do this depending on the property type, usage, and you (income and credit scores).If this is a primary residence, you can get up to 90% of the value of your home minus any exisitng debt.
