Unless you have another deal just waiting for you, I'd take the break even and start hunting again. 

I don't like "cash" sitting there, burning a hole in my pocket at 10% interest. I think that makes investors take chances that they wouldn't normally take. 

Positive cash flow and 100% of your out of pocket costs are covered- that's a win most people on these boards would kill for. Nice job!


 So you say to take all money and break even with 9% rate ?


No, I am saying I think this is the better option: 

"On the other hand my re finance lender can give me loan of rate and term of 7.75% payment of $1981 monthly and cash flow $419 per month."


 Oh ok so you are saying i should leave the 30-35K in the "walls" of the property and stay with mortgage 7.75% ?

I certainly would and have done that many times. Unless you are 100% certain that you can get better than a 10% return on that money right away, why would you borrow it?

 I mean what is maximum rate that you limit, i think to go over 8% is to much !

9% is crazy. but how everybody do 80% cashout with good rates?

Quote from @John Chong:

It just depends on if you need the cash to buy another property or if you're looking to lower your interest rate from your HML. What would you use the cash out for?


I want to use money for another property yes , on the other hand its good to leave money in the walls at least 30% if somthing will happen

Hey guys

I finished remodeling and im in a re finance process now, im already holding house 3 months for seasoning time.

Im doing the BRRRR, the money i put down for this property is around 40K (for title and hard money expanses)

i have equity in property.

I have already also renter that pays $2400

My hard money landing pay off is 226K.

Property appraised at 345K.

Re finance cash out is 80% so its 276K. Closing costs will be around 20K

it means that i can take around 30-35K to my pocket, but rate will be around 9% for mortgage. it means monthly payment of $2300-2400.

On the other hand my re finance lender can give me loan of rate and term of 7.75% payment of $1981 monthly and cash flow $419 per month.

My question is :  I should break even and take the money or have cashflow in property and pay less mortgage .

Hey guys 

I have people I know telling me that they invest on property  with 100% on loan and 100% on rehab. 

That they recycle money and just pay expanses of hard money lender. 
I wanted to understand how it’s possible 

For example for the Texas property, I purchased in 270K

ARV is 430K

I got 75% ARV from hard money lender for rental purposes , so it’s 322K. 

71K remodel cost. (100% financed)

If the 322K it’s more then 270K , it means its 100% financed ?

In HUD the cash to close of this property was 44K.

I wonder how people do it with less then that , they told me only few thousands expanses and not 40K 


can you explain me what it means 100% finances and how I need to calculate it , I want to use my money better way

It depends on where in the zip code the property is located. Some of that area I would not recommend, but say next to HardRock us a great little rental neighborhood

Feel free to message me
