Sugar coating.At beginning of October ,She brought us a deal, 77k purchase price ,80k rehab and ARV 275k, she wanted 4 of us partner up on the deal, so we signed JV.we formed a LLC together ,Rene 50%, Me 49% ,S 1%.Ownership.And we use that LLC bought this house with hard money lender.Our LLC also signed JV with S&R LLC that we bring capital and they manage the project and we split the profit 3 ways. 66% S&R , Rene and I 33%.Rene and I paid 20k downpayment at closing with HML and 8k interest from October 2019 to August 2020 ( we paid off the loan 120k on August,2020 )From November 2019, Rene and I wired the first 15k cash to S&R’LLC ,And R started to take rehab money from our lender , our lender released total 68k to S&R LLC business bank account by march 2020.

Hey everyoneWe are in a very active market, waiting for a deal on MLS just doesn’t happen often these days and have started the shift to direct mail-out campaigns to attract sellers before they are calling a realtor up - or heading into foreclosure etc.The target audiences are:-tired landlords who want out-owners who need to sell quick (moving etc)-owners who have money problems-owners who are willing to do a lease-option To date we have done the yellow letter - a “hand-written” note basically saying that we were in the area, interested in their home and not a realtor, with a basic call to action of call a phone number.From more experienced investors out there - what have you used and had success with?
