First Flip Completed Successfully! W/ Pics and Numbers

My team and I sold our first flip today!

Started diving head first into real estate in the beginning of 2018 and haven't slowed down since. We found this deal from a DM Campaign. After a few campaigns with no results, one in May finally stuck. Biggerpockets has been an incredible source of information and this wouldn't have happened without the community.

Front view: (Packed the Prius full)

Rear: (Bay Grasses turned out great)

Kitchen:

Master Bath:

Roof:

Here's about 3300 letters that I proudly lick!

Numbers:

Purchase- $108,000

Rehab- $70,000

Holding- $3,200

Sold Price- $288,000

Profit about 27% off of sold price.

Thank you to all who helped me throughout the Journey, greatly appreciated. Now we are looking to put our 2nd and 3rd property under contract this month. Possibly even a fourth if I have any funds left! If you're in the Annapolis area, reach out anytime- I'm definitely looking to get some sort of master mind group together to bounce ideas off of!

@Scott W. Holding costs were $3200, held for 90 days and approximately $1060 a month. I separate out holding costs and closing costs.

Holding costs included interest on mortgage, taxes, insurance, electric bill, sewer, water, HOA, etc

Closing costs, title company fees, government fees, bank origination fees, etc.

Here are the numbers:

Purchase $108,000

Closing $8,000

Rehab $70,000

Holding $3,000

Selling Costs $6,000

RE Agent Fees $17,280

Sale Price $288,000

Profit $75,720 

I'm a 30% owner, there is another 30% and another 30%. A lawyer is a 10% owner. A lot of people for the flip, but hey the numbers worked. We split the profit as a percentage of ownership- we are an LLC being taxed as an S-Corp so we are receiving a payroll plus distributions. That's how our CPA set us up, maybe it works better that way in Maryland

I put up cash and the other 30% partner put up his cash plus cash for our GC who is a 30% owner and the lawyer put up 10%.

Hope this answers your question.

Hi Ken, forgive me if you've already answered this question, but how did you fund the deal.....oh and how did you meet your partner and structure the equity partnership?

@Addison Guyse to fund the deal we got bank financing, 12 month interest only at 6.25%. 20% down on the purchase price of the house and we paid for the rehab and closing costs out of pocket. I was on the hook for 30% of all costs since that was my equity stake.
