Boise continues to grow so, this excess supply of rentals will be absorbed over time.

There are probably many posts that contain similar information to this one, but I thought it would be of value to future and existing investors who are starting their journey.We recently completed rehabbing a duplex we bought for $93k and rehabbed for $75k (in retrospect, we could've negotiated a lower price 🤷‍♂️ - discussion for a different post), hitting an ARV of $190k when our target ARV was $170k.Two things that stood out for me that helped us secure a higher ARV that anyone can use in their next BRRRR were:1) Fix the property to be in the top 75th percentile -> To improve our success rate, we consulted with both our agent and our PMC on what kind of materials and finishes the best properties (highest ARV Comps and Rent Rates) had in the area.

This is his specialty.

I have heard so many stories about this people accessing properties and starting to place so many no sense violations. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.PM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

@Bill Schrimpf This is upsetting to read.

I’ve actually co-owned w my mom for most of the last decade but am exploring options w friends and am just wondering how many others are out there that have either done it or thought about. 

Too many residential owners don’t do this!  

This leads to issues with refinancing and could leave you with less equity or higher debt than anticipated.

Wondering how to build trust in him to do seller financing with us after this.For reference we have 100% close rate, my thoughts approaching this is to counter back and say the risk of default is very rare, if he's worried about the park defaulting he just needs to save up $20k in reserves and he'll get paid $70k in income for the park for the next 5 years while he waits for balloon.
