Looking for my 1st BRRRR Deal

[Jonathan Mentor]

Hey All - Newbie Here.

I've narrowed down the goal for my first deal. I want to land a BRRRR deal in Tampa Bay/Central Florida.

I’m aiming to get into a distressed property at $100k or less (all in purchase price + rehab) in that area. End goal? $2-$300 monthly cashflow.

I’m looking for a realtor or investor that can advise on the market and make introductions to private lenders/hard money to structure a $0 down deal.

I’m listening... 👂🏾

Hi Jonathan, 

I'll be honest - It is probably not a good idea. Especially since you are a newbie. This is coming from a fellow rookie, I own just 3 properties but I did extensive underwriting on possible scenarios for BRRRR and 0 down deals.

A 0 down deal means you will be 100% leveraged. So the room for error on estimating your max allowable offer and ARV is very little - actually none since every cent that you miss is negative equity on your part. It could work but like the others say - this is too much risk.

0 down deals are okay for experienced investors with a lot of reserves when **** hits the fan. The only way it may work is if you source your own deal and you find a home run where you have significant equity even before rehab - this can be your cushion.

Good luck!

What do you mean "I source my deal" and home run is 30% OFF the market value because it's a run-down house?

It means you have to do your own direct mail campaign, drive for dollars, cold calling or ring-less voicemail are some strategies/ you talk and buy directly from a distressed seller. Note: I said distressed seller not property. These are sellers who are in pre-foreclosure, in a middle of a divorce, have financial difficulties and etc. Goal is to help first, get a win-win for both parties. 

Distressed sellers going through a divorce with financial difficulties? Yes, I agree BUT to determine the final price of the home which will be difficult to discount, will be determined by analyzing the marriage balance sheet from the divorcing couple which list all assets and most importantly the couples liabilities..
