My first BRRRR deal - SFR in San Diego

[Dean OMalley]

Investment Info:

Single-family residence other investment.

Purchase price: $455,000
Cash invested: $650,000

My first BRRRR deal. Purchased an 800 sq ft 2bd/1ba single-family residence for $455k in 2019, which my builder partner Joseph Camile and I fully remodeled and added a bathroom (total cost: $80k). Remodel took about 2 months. Unit is now rented for $2900/mo.

On the back of the 8000 sq ft lot, we are building two new units: a 1500 sq ft 4bd/3ba upstairs unit and a 1000 sq ft 3bd/2ba downstairs unit. Construction was delayed, due to permitting delays from the city of San Diego, but construction is nearing completion. Total construction cost: $500k. Projected rents are $4500 and $3500.

Hoping to cash-out refi, with a valuation of $1.5M.

Zoning is R3. Property is in Linda Vista. There are a number of properties in the area where developers and investors are doing the same thing. Nice, big lots, which have enough space for multiple units to better utilize the square footage on the lot. 

Nice. I've done two projects in Linda Vista very similar to what you're doing - we may be neighbors and not know it!  Well done taking the leap and making it happen!
FWIW, I've never gotten a 100% BRRRR to happen locally, but with large numbers even refiing out 60%-80% of the capital has turned out really well.
