Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) fix & flip investment in Jamaica Plain.

Purchase price: $1,400,000
Cash invested: $450,000
Sale price: $2,230,000

Three family complete gut rehab. The GC we used that was subpar in communication and execution so the project dragged. We also had a plumber abandon the job (ask me for his name), which caused us a two month delay...The project came on the market in the winter of 2018/2019 which was a horrible time for the market. We let things marinate and the market turned around in the spring. This wasn't a home run for us, but a solid base hit with a product we were very proud of at the end of the day.

    Thank you for sharing and allowing us to see that not all flips are slam dunks and giving a realistic perspective. I’m sure there’s great lessons learned there. Onward and forward! 

    Where is your next project?

    Great project.  Big project!  You'll never have a problem renting or selling in JP.

    How did you finance?

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you @Lien Vuong & @Michelle Reid.

    We have a ground up new construction three unit project (2 townhouses & 1 single fam) on Rossmore St. in Union Sq. Somerville. We're also doing two separate ground up new construction three unit buildings at 1 & 6 Coppersmith Way in East Boston. Looking for more!

    We used Lowell 5 bank for acquisition and construction financing. The gave us 80% of the purchase price and 100% of construction cost for the JP deal. They have been a little tighter on other deals to 80% purchase and 90% construction.
