Hey Everyone,
First and foremost, I want to say it works! IF you guys are willing to put the time in! The advice/leadership that I have received through the forums, and even on a personal level with someone of you has really made a huge difference!
Here goes!
So the last 4 months have been an absolutely up hill battle! However, we have finally prevailed. I will be closing on another deal this week.The great thing about this deal, was that it is all PRIVATE money.
Long story short, We are going to purchase/Rehab this 4 family home. We will either sell/hold the entity.
I will upload all the specific shortly. (currently at my day job lol)
Fell free to chime in, and critique. It will only make us better!
purchase price $130k Cash Offer (2bd 1bath 800 per unit) $3200 a month
Taxes: $4638
Insurance: $2460
Water: $1292
Investor wants 6% return per year on his money.
rehab: 40k (5500 per unit)
Purchase + Rehab $170k + Closing cost = 175k
Retail; 230k-250k
Guys, this market is really hot. This deal could go as a flip, or even a hold!
I managed to raise 180k from a local investor that owns a huge portfolio in the area, and also in other states. He's been syndicating for over 20 years!
I did exactly what was taught, I offered a SERVICE. I was willing to help, in return for learning!
We should break ground sometime this week, or next week.
@Tyson Cross - Thanks a lot! Opportunity is the service I offered! lol, but on a serious note. This is going to be my 2nd deal with these group of guys.
My very first deal was a 3 unit that we purchased, and sold, and haven't been looking back since. My job in this deal is going to operate this thing from start to finish.
Facilitate/Manage rehab, lease, rent/sell...That's how I carved out my percentage.
@Wendell De Guzman - Thanks for the support. Boy this business is stressful. Now I have to perform!
@George Paiva - Thanks G! We have to get together. I know last time we spoke you were getting involved in emerging markets.
thanks for the support guys! I wish there was a way to upload a video of the actual renovation for all to use.
We are finally starting getting ready to break ground, and began construction. My deal was pushed back almost 5 months!! Have to love short sales!
I will also re-post numbers as we had to sharpen our pencils a few additional times.
Question though, My contractor that I have is a very well know, and reputable business man. He is doing a considerable amount of work for the town of Manchester, and so forth.
However, he has been very reluctant on providing a "written time-line". Any idea on why?
The contractor might be good but how do you know they have time for your project??
They might want to load the extra work for business but you might not be the top job for them. You do not want to be a side project that they get around to while doing everything else unless they are giving you a below market rehab estimate.
Everything is coming along. Siding has been completed, along with porch repair. Due to the inclament weather we are facing, exterior paint has been delayed slightly. But were looking to have this completed early next week,
More pics, and info coming. Feel free to ask away. Let me know if their is an easier way to do these. lol
