Off-market deals give you control over pricing, terms, and creative financing options.

Last time I checked, the prices did go up.

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.

from my advice rural properties and developments aren't successful and you are climbing an uphill battle. sounds a little niche. we focus on developing and not reinventing the wheel. if this is truly what you want to focus all your time and energy on then visit the closest 5-10 of these that look like the ones you are interested and ask if they'd expand or build a secondary one. do a lot of research before you just take action 

Greatest thing about these platforms (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.) is the you get to see all your competitors, their pictures, amenities, pricing, etc. 

This gets them thinking about your eventual move and the stress they might face in finding a new tenant.After some time has passed, you could share that you’ve started looking at other homes, but the options in your price range don’t compare to the property you’re living in.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the information you may need to provide for a cost segregation study.For existing buildings:List of equipment on the propertyProperty settlement stateAny appraisals or purchase/lease agreements Property maps or blueprintsSchedules, change orders or documents for future renovation plansSupporting documents for calculating real property book valuePrevious purchase price allocations that separated assets into their appropriate allocation and valuePast site inspections and photographsDocumentation that proves or records deterioration of assetsFor new construction:Contracts or contract paymentsLand and property sizeBlueprints of projectList of equipment involved or purchasedList of projected costs including costs for land developmentApplicable site inspectionsConstruction schedules and payment requestsPhotographs of completed assets or work in progressCost segregation specialists typically have an organized plan for the collection and analysis of the information provided.

When I am looking for a new investment property and am strapped for cash, I typically look off-market and try and find something that can a seller is looking to sell that needs minimal repairs to be rent ready and the purchase price is 80% of the ARV this way I can use private money to buy in cash, do the repairs needed then refinance on a DSCR loan and pay off the private money loan.
