Rehabber · Santa Clarita, California


Hello BP Nation. As many already know, I am a full-time RE investor and have been focused on REO rehab flips for the past several years now. On occassion, I get too many deals at one time or deals that are outside my area and I offer these deals as wholesale opportunities to other rehab investors.

I currently have 6 deals running right now and over $2.3M in cash in the market (mine and that of my private investors). I have recently contracted 3 new deals (2 out m=of my area so wholesaling for sure and one in my area, but not enough cash or time to do it).

I also am switching gears somewhat as I have a very large and what will be time intensive business I am working on and need to downscale my rehab efforts. Therefore, my loss of full profits on these rehabs I would otherwise keep will now become wholesale opportunities for my investor friends, contacts and you all at BP Nation!

That said, here is the meat and potatoes:
North Hills, CA 4+2+2 (4 bed, 2 bath, 2 car attached garage) 1,570 square feet on a 7,597 sq. ft lot with operational and clean pool and spa. Home sits on corner lot in nice neighborhood (non- busy, no main street)
Your price to purchase is $245k (my contracted price is $235k). Must be all cash (real cash via bank statement in your name or YOUR business name) and you must be the actuual buyer, no wholesalers, no principles, no fund managers, just real buyer.
Rehab is $25k and is based on worst case estimate of interior. Home is currently OCCUPIED by previous homeowner (bank took back at trustee sale, is now current owner and I contracted this deal direct, it was never on the MLS). I am assuming that a full gut of the kitchen and 2 baths is necessary (it may not be) and included that in the budget. If the kitchen is good and only needs new appliances and touch-up/paint/stain, then cost of rehab could go down $5k or more.
Exterior looks fantastic, nice yards, stucco paint is great, only facia boards need paint. New garage door and pool looks great! Exit price is $359k based on comps I pulled. There are recent sold comps higher and a few lower, but lower are distressed sales or not in condition of this one once rehabbed.

To sum up deal:
$245k acquisition Price
$25k rehab
$270k all-in cost
$359k Exit
$89k gross profit margin

Address will only be given out to serious buyers who can prove they have the means to close this transaction so do not ask unless you can perform, are in the area and you email me a request. (My email is in my signature)

Second Deal:
Fullerton, CA (Orange County)
4+2+2 / 2,199 sq. ft on 21,423 sq. ft lot (huge lot!)
Another title report shows sq. footage at 2900 sq. ft and 6 bedrooms so this home has had an addition, buyer to verify permits.
Currently occupied by previous homeowner, address will only be given to serious buyers with real bank statement POF and ability to personally view property. Buyer will need to offer cash for keys to occupants or evict.
Purchase Price $390k
Rehab (I have no idea, have not seen property (too far from me), however, I do know it will most likely need a new roof (currently has wood shake roof) and has noticable termite/dryrot damage on eaves. I do know I can fully gut and rehab a 2200 sq. ft home and place all the trimmings for $50k, so rehab should not be more than that. (My guess is $40k, buyer to verify)
Exit price is $650k+ Based on comps pulled from title report, the lowest comps out of 15 properties was $575k and it was only 1570 sq. ft sold 9/10. This could sell for much more than $650k!

Recap:
$390k Purchase
$ 40k-$50k Rehab Estimate (without me visiting property)
$650k+ Exit
$210k+ Gross Spread!!!! Thats 67% all-in cost to value.

Real Estate Investor · Charlotte, North Carolina


i'm tempted to move to california for the summer..we don't get these kinds of spreads in the carolinas anymore.... :cry:


Rehabber · Santa Clarita, California


I want to thank Loc for the post to initiate some action here and to Josh for taking it upon himself to recognize good deals when he sees them and sending this thread out to a few people who responded via email.

Update: The OC deal was taken less than one hour after I posted this. BP was at a disadvantage because the investor who took it was one of my contacts in that area whom I have done many deals with. He received a personal phone call from me prior to me posting this deal here and as such, had a jump start ahead of BP Nation. He loved the deal so much, he called me from the subject property to lock it up.

As to North Hills, it is currently available, several emails have been responded to, two of which had the initiative to provide POF's with their email of interest to prove they could perform and that is appreciated. May the fastest investor with real cash win this one.

I will post updates as they happen, and if a BP member does in fact get this deal, another donation from Barnard Enterprises to BP Nation will occur.

Update:
Josh sent out an email about this post and one of those emails was sent to a rehab buyer who made contact with me. She was one of the first two to supply a POF and visit the subject property. She was alos the first to respond with "I' want it" and is now my buyer.
Congrats to her and a special thank you to Josh Dorkin for taking some initiative.

Upon closing and receiving my funds, another donation will be made to BP Nation for its help in making this transaction possible!

Update: The buyer who committed to this deal has failed to perform. Apparently, the POF provided included funds of other partners and these partners are not comfortable taking down a property with occupants. The deal was explained in detail and the buyer was made aware and stated it was fine, but she did not disclose that she had other partners to consult. As such, she will be removed from my list and no longer allowed to do deals with me.
I must keep this strict rule to protect my history of 100% performance and protect the relationships I have worked so hard to season.

That said, this deal is now available again but will only be given to someone who shows proof of funds and ability to close. If these numbers interest you, send me an email with your POF to get the address. The occupants are not to be disturbed.
Property is in the San Fernando Valley in teh city of North Hills, CA

To sum up deal:
$245k acquisition Price
$25k rehab
$270k all-in cost
$359k Exit
$89k gross profit margin

Ok, this deal is now spoken for. I didn't want to say it would not last past today at risk of taking flack, but I did not figure it would.

Property went to one of my contacts from my email list, not a BP member.
