@Dominic CampeloWith your contracting expertise and business growth, you’re in a fantastic position to enter real estate investing.

Putting people in a position where they would need to sell or come up with an alternative strategy to pay off the mortgage balance prior to rebuilding. 

@Haley White that’s awesome you were in a position to be able to pivot and take advantage of the market. 

As a sponsor I can't be a member but the reviews I've heard are generally positive.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

Are you generally seeing cash flow positive deals from day 1?

Equity Created: $550,000 ARV - $409,000 loan balance = $141,000 in equity.Cash Flow: The property rents for $2,950/month, covering all expenses and generating slight positive cash flow.HELOC Potential: Post-refi, I can secure a HELOC up to $86,000 (90% LTV) to fund future investments.

For example, you can buy properties in the low $100k range that are already cash-flow positive or close to break-even with good tenants in place.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.
