Closed on a 6 unit, from 400 dollars in the red to 1500 cashflow

Closed on a 6 unit, from 400 dollars in the red to 1500 cashflow

Good morning BP,

My wife and I closed on a six unit yesterday after a successful 1031 exchange using @Dave Foster and his group. The process took 84 days from putting the Boston property up for sale using @Charlie MacPherson and his team, selling the house on the 31st of August, to closing on our six unit on 08 Sep. 

- We sold our house for almost 54k over asking price in Boston thanks to Charlie and his awesome knowledge of the market. We purchased our 6 unit with 5 out of 6 units full and prorated rent for the month of Sep. 

- We got a deal of 4.8 percent on the commercial loan, and found a great local lender to support our growing business needs.

Some background as to why we sold. We were losing at least 400 dollars a month on our Boston house PITI, since the rents were short, but made up for it in solid appreciation and great timing. Also, the property management was weak to say the least and I was tired of dealing with their system.

The property we exchanged for needs a solid 10k in work to get the insurance to come down, but passes all inspections. We have talked to our property manager to draw out a plan to fix the property using a 1000 dollars of the NOI. Even with that we are going to making 1500 a month after commercial loan, property manager, taxes, insurance (paid for the next year using the 1031).

BP has helped our company grow from 200 dollars a month, on one door, to 3400 a month, in six months and we are just getting started. 

To all that are trying to get there follow the numbers, not your heart and you will get there faster!!

Time to contemplate the next move!!!!

Thank you,

Johnny

    @Johnny Quilenderino Thanks for posting.  I'm glad you found a great team for the sale and 1031.  I've heard horror stories.

    Congrats on the 6 unit building!  I have one in Ward's Corner, which probably isn't too far from where you are located.  You mentioned needing to spend some money to bring the insurance down?  Might that be for aluminum wiring?  If not what for?  Just curious.

    @Carter Melvin are you the one with the blue awning? The outside rails need sturdying up, roof needs a little repair, GFCI needs to go in the bathrooms and carbon monoxide detectors in the hallways. Other than that a few treatments pest treatments and we will put it on the market for 1100 a unit.

    @Johnny Quilenderino I am currently in the US NAVY and I'm stationed in Norfolk VA. I am getting into real estate and would love the chance to sit down with you and have a conversation with you about the area/general real estate. Also, I would love to help you with anything that I can. Please get back to me. Thank You Very Much, Samuel Peters.

    @Johnny Quilenderino I'm on Fort Worth in Ward's Corner.  I can recommend a good pest company if you are interested.  Next time I'm in town we may have to meet up.

    @Clarissa Butler are you asking about bank, specific lender in the bank or realtor? I used Union Bank down by town center, they were by far the best deal I could get. Ask for Mr. Buckley (Paul), if you can get a hold of him when he is not doing deals, he will get you the best rate.

    Team BP,

    Quick update on the 6 Unit, we have filled the vacant unit. I have upgraded the flooring from dingy carpet to laminate and vinyl in the kitchen. We increased rent by 300 dollars in that one unit and it still rented (from 900 to 1200). My intentions are to upgrade as tenants move out. I have about 7k left in repairs to do before the insurance company drops their rate to 2k a year, currently paying 5k, due to roof "holes" but no leaks, no GFCI in the bath rooms, and toilets that were loose an possibly leaking, hand rails on the balconies weak and loose. We expect to complete all repairs by December, have the re-inspection by the insurance agent and collecting about 2k a month starting in Jan.

    Thank you for all the encouragement! I could not have done this without my teammate (wife), and all of your strong words of get out there and do it!

    Cheers,

    Johnny

    @Johnny Quilenderino I was asking for info on a local commercial lender. I have only used traditional up to this point. Thanks for the referral

    @Clarissa Butler I have just started the negotiations to refinance my my two other properties under my LLC through Union, and possibly purchase another 4 unit. Definitely talk to that team about commercial lending if you are going after a 5 unit.

    Cheers,

    Johnny

    @Johnny QuilenderinoI know I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to jump in and congratulate you. This is the type of deal that inspires a newbie like myself.

    @Tyree Etheridge these deals are not easy to find but if you do and can jump on them, go for it. Good luck!
