I've done it where me and the partner (I was the equity partner, he was the cash partner) split everything right down the middle 50/50. We did it on turnkeys back in the day when the margins were higher, but it wouldn't work as well on those now. But you can still take the same ideas and apply it towards any situation (split the rehab 50/50, everything).

Maybe that can at least get your juices flowing for ideas.

Not right now, unfortunately. The only group I know who's offering them, I've worked with both of the partners before and it wasn't the greatest of experiences, so I don't recommend them to anyone. Especially when you're talking about BRRRRkeys rather than turnkeys, it's especially critical who you work with on them.

For the most part, BRRRRkeys aren't really working right now because the margins aren't there to offer the benefit of them--the forced appreciation--which is the whole point in taking on that risk. In most cases, if you fund the distressed property and then the rehab while the provider is doing the work, the refi value is going to be right around market value, which means no forced appreciation, which is the whole point.

If Chicago could start in an inventory flow again... the provider I work with there has been out of inventory due to the foreclosure moratoriums since fall 2020... my favorite BRRRRkey is there and maybe he can get stuff going. The only thing I could offer you right now is if you're interested, or have the resources for, higher dollar small commercial apartment buildings. But we're talking like a couple hundred thousand at a minimum, if not into $300-400k cash requirements. I'll send notifications out to my mailing list the minute any become available for sure, if you want to further connect.

This is awesome, thanks! I'll look into it.

How is the market there for investing? Any cash flow on rentals or no?

Hi Lynn, sorry, I wasn't tagged in any of these posts so never saw them until now. I have no idea what comments you're referring to. I have never had any issues with Martel (I've even spoken with Antoine on the phone...we're neighbors, as it turns out!), and I've never even heard of anyone having a bad experience with Martel. There was a guy on here deceiving people into thinking he wasn't being paid referral fees by Martel when he clearly was, so I called him out, but otherwise I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. 

Hey Jay, thanks for your support! It means a ton. I have no idea what she's referring to. I definitely, as you say, try to stay middle of the road. I really appreciate that that's [usually] apparent... thanks for mentioning it!

You may know I've been offering 1-on-1 real estate investing coaching, and now I'm expanding that into a new Group Coaching offering! The event will be held on Zoom.

The way the group coaching works is it's "fishbowl" style coaching, where I work with one person at a time while everyone listening in can learn from what we're working on. I will call on as many people as time allows.

Doing it this way allows for two things:
1. A chance to hear from other investors and learn from their challenges in such a way that may help
you with whatever goals you're trying to accomplish.
2. A cheaper alternative to 1-on-1 coaching!

The event is only $10/person, and will be held on Tuesday May 4, 2021 from 5-7pm PST. If you can't make it live but you go ahead and register, a replay link will be sent to you after the event, so you can still get a lot of benefit from it.

To register- https://calendly.com/aliboonei...

Hope to see you there!

NOTE: The event is open to investors doing any REI strategy

NOTE: There will be no pitching of events or services

Hey Carol, sorry I missed this post. Awesome to hear someone recommended us! :) I'm happy to work with you directly for handholding, no problem! Feel free to reach out any time and let me know how I can help. 

Oh yeah. I could see all of that being less hands-off. That comes with the territory of Roofstock being a turnkey broker rather than an actual turnkey provider, where everything would be in-house.

Online resources can be great, but sometimes it's helpful to have someone help you directly 1-on-1. Quite often it just takes one small shift to change the entire fate of your REI journey.

Check out this video where I talk more about what I offer, as well as information on how the coaching works. https://b.link/3wfl2y You can always email me directly at [email protected] if you'd like to talk more or have questions.

What I can help with:

• General real estate investing coaching– helping with your mindset, figuring out your plans/path, clarifying goals, etc. Like creating your business plan for investing.
• Help you overcome a particular obstacle or challenge that's holding you back
• Anything turnkey-related– everything from selecting properties and providers, learning what to look for, guidance through the buying process, etc.
  Accountability partner!

What I can’t help with:

• Technical or process information on how to do strategies I don’t have experience with (flipping, wholesaling, syndications, etc.) I can, however, still mentor someone doing these strategies from a broader picture perspective.

Here's what some people have said:

"Ali was very instrumental in providing much needed advice at the last minute. I was in the process of closing on a deal that had some foundation issues. Along with that, I was at a crossroad of how to proceed with my long term goals. I am grateful that she took the time to help me evaluate and determine which course of action to execute and held me accountable for the decisions I made moving forward. Thanks to Ali's solid advice, it allowed me to understand the power of leverage and add two more homes to my portfolio." - J.M., Jacksonville, FL

"I am a Newbie investor who has been researching the best strategy to get started to build my portfolio. As soon as I learned about Turnkey Properties, I began looking to absorb as much as I could because I believe it’s a perfect way for me to get my 1st property under my belt. It was immediately apparent to me that Ali is the authority on all things Turnkey and so I reached out right away. She got back to me almost instantly and her excitement, enthusiasm and energy to help brand new investors like me was contagious. I signed right up for her 1:1 coaching and right out of the gate - she helped validate my ideas, boost my confidence and now I have a resource to help “hold my hand” as I begin this exciting journey. I can already see we are going to work really well together and I am SO grateful to BiggerPockets for creating the forum where I could meet and partner with Ali. Can’t wait to see where this goes!" - A.O., Philadelphia, PA
