Charles A. Preparing for the Apocalypse.
14 March 2017 | 3 replies
It's a cliche.However,one other fad we have seen on BP is this pull to lower priced markets (I won't mention names so as not to offend sensibilities,but you probably know them).The reality of the business is that these markets are lower priced for a reason.You may be getting an assassin's cash flow and C-O-C returns today from your units in these markets but when jobs hemorrhage in a recession,your cash flow rapidly turn negative.Big markets suffer less in a massive recession.Occupancy and vacancies mirror what the local job market is doing.The sole reason I relocated to Jacksonville from Cleveland in 2011 is to stop being an "out-of state investor".That brings me to the other point under this topic.We saw a very lucrative 16-unit listed some 18 months ago.Well,it should be lucrative,except despite listing at an attractive price,most interested buyers couldn't get the numbers to work.The numbers didn't work because the out-of-state owners were getting absolutely wiped out year-on-year by phony expenses logged by their "boots-on-the-ground" and PMs.Even in strong markets,it's crucial to buy in good parts of town.That way,when vacancies inevitably occur during the apocalypse ,your copper wiring or HVACs won't be stolen....or your property vandalized.Choose your market wisely.

Once you have an FHA loan you are not allowed to have another FHA loan unless relocating a great distance for work.Now that you have exhausted your Low Down Payment Options (Portfolio Conventional and FHA Conventional and FHA) you will need to use a Standard Conventional Loan and put 20% down to get your 3rd Duplex.The sky is the limit...you could continue to buy properties and build an empire or just stop there and enjoy more free time...I have friend who quit his job and just manages his properties now.Keep in mind that this 4 step process I outlined takes time (anywhere from 1 to 10yrs depending on the person) so keep the big picture in mind but don't let it stress you out too much.
