Post: Cost of BRRRR Investing

Hi Devan, 

Flippers normally spend much more on their renovations and don't bank on appreciation. Therefore BRRR investors can pay a little bit more because they're looking for appreciation and they also spend much less on the renovations.

Hi Carol, 

For our wholesaling business we use Zoho CRM to keep track of all our leads and phone calls.

This CRM helps us a lot. I hope this works for you too. Good luck!

Hi Hooman, 

I have never invested in LA. House hacking is possible here, if you can find a good deal. Find a house hacking calculator and begin to look at deals on Zillow to see if anything makes sense.

Good Luck!

The best way that I have found property management companies is just cold calling these property management companies on Google. Type into google "property management city" and then just start calling. Once you find a few that are interested in helping you, schedule some face to face meetings with them to learn more about their business model.

After you go through this process, it should be clear who the correct company is for you!

As for the contractor : Homeadvisor.com 

Good luck!

Hi Scott, 

You can make offers for off-market properties the same way as on market properties. You can use your own agent, you can use the sellers agent, or you and the seller can write up a PSA between yourselves. Think of it as just the same process.

Good luck!

Post: Investing out of state for your first investment?

Hi Jacob, 

Absolutely I would invest out of state. That's where all the cash flow is and it is there for the taking. Investing out of state allows you to buy properties with $15k down and cash flow $200-300/mo. 


Good luck with your journey!

Hi Nathan, 

To answer your question. Yes, The bank will pull a permit. So you have to do it legally.

Hi Mario, 

You can try to get hard money for these kinds of deals but hard money will be expensive and then the properties you're buying probably won't cash flow.
