BRRRR advice for a potential deal Los Angeles

BRRRR advice for a potential deal Los Angeles

Member since 2024 · 1 post · 0 votes

Hi, 

I am looking at a deal where the refinance for a BRRRR on a multi family would be essentially $60,000 cash out on a 80% LTV but it still has negative cash flow. As a total noobie here (apologies ahead of time!), is this something that would be offset if you just hold the property after a 5 year estimated proforma with a 3% appreciation/rent increase? It seems to break even on my calculator at that point, but seems risky to have to cover the refinanced mortgage.

I'm mainly trying to just figure out if the year 1-5 loss of around $38,000 is still worth it in the long run with the sale price covering that loss plus about $250,000. Any help or guidance would be appreciated!!!

    Typically, you don't want to lose money, especially if you have a long vacancy, major repairs down the road, etc.

    A couple of considerations to calculate:

    1. Loan buy down

    2. Tax benefits

    3. General appreciation


    If it is in a solid area, maybe the play is appreciation and then a few years later do a 1031 exchange to another, better performing property.

    With multifamily, typically you can't do STR, but maybe MTR? Maybe the numbers make sense there.
