Quote from @Account Closed:

It may still be worth considering investing in properties with lower returns in the current market, as building equity, taking advantage of tax benefits, and potentially refinancing later could offset the lower cash on cash return. Additionally, purchasing at a lower price due to high interest rates could also be a strategic move in the long run. It ultimately depends on your individual investment goals and risk tolerance.

I say to invest in real estate now and give it some time. It will benefit in the long run. For example I purchased my first property from my parents in TX and I'm making 0% COC return. Just enough to cover most of the mortgage (im paying $70 out of pocket). I'll be able to use depreciation on my taxes from it. When the tenant renews the lease I plan to bump up rent $50 so I'll only be paying $20. Then the following year I should break even. I just purchased my 2nd rental property and it will be renting at the end of the month. It will cash flow roughly $570. I feel they balance one another out. If you find a deal hop on it! Good luck my friend!

Quote from @Patricia C.:

Hello

I currently own 2 properties. One is currently rented in Greenwich CT, the other I just purchased in Norwalk CT and in the middle of renovations before I rent it out.

I would like to purchase a 3rd home by the end of 2024. How do I go about getting approved when I am already maxed out on getting another mortgage..? 

I would look Into creative financing or DSCR loan. That's what I plan to do after my rehab is completed next week on my 2nd rental property.

Would anyone like to be added to a multifamily real estate group chat within the DFW area? I have not seen one made yet but interested to connect with more multifamily investors within the area.

Would love to join as well. I send you a connection request. Great idea!
Quote from @Peyton LaBarbera:

I am overwhelmed by the number of different formulas that are out there for rental property investing and I don't want to overpack for lack of better words my investing formula arsenal so I would like to know what ones are the best to use and why

The ones I currently use include: COC, NOI (and NIAF), Cap rate, ROR, ROI, and IRR=

But I also have heard of NPV, 

I am also not including any "rule formulas" aka 1% and 50% as those are simply guidelines to follow and not complicated formulas

Let me know if I am missing any or don't even need to use some of the ones I am using

Thank you,

Peyton LaBarbera

It depends what you are focusing on. For example I'm currently doing a BRRRR on my 2nd rental property. So I'm focusing on keywords like how much I put down for down-payment. How much is my rehab going to cost me when it's done. The ARV (after repair value) so I can do a cash out refinance. My COC return when completed. How much fair market rent I can charge. Let us know what strategy you have in mind and we can all help and guide you.

Do you aging parents own the house where you currently are residing? If so I was thinking of doing a cash out refinance on it or a Heloc. Can they cosign on a personal loan or maybe out them on your home in FL to boost your credit score to be allowed to do a heloc on your primary. Do you have any investment accounts you can withdrawal from? For example a 401k loan or Roth IRA withdrawal? Sell some stocks. Just some suggestions. I'm in Dallas area and would be happy to chat over the phone if you like to discuss.

Quote from @Noah Bussanich:

I found a property that I am really considering purchasing. It would be a 500k purchase, 100k rehab and 700k ARV. I would then turn it into a rental.
1- First off, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that refinancing out of the loan amount would make my mortgage higher. What is the point of refinancing out to a higher amount for a higher mortgage if original purchase price has a lower mortgage? (plus higher property taxes due to the new assessed amount)

2- I don't have cash for the rehab yet, so any advice on going about sourcing the 100k? or should I ask for a 600k loan and lay out my plan to my mortgage  broker?

1) if you do a cash out refinance, you'll be able to pull 80% of the ARV. Then you can use that to purchase other properties (repeat). You'll PITI will go up but you still need to cash flow to make it beneficial for you.

2) you can do a DSCR loan which will cover down-payment and rehab cost. It will be a higher interest rate then conventional. You can also do a private money loan, hard money loan, HELOC on your primary residence. 

I'm rehabbing my 2nd rental property and had to take a personal loan to fund the rehab. My quote was 22k for rehab. I had no other choice since I couldn't find a lender to fund my rehab since they felt it was too small.

@Sara Habtom

J Scott's book pair about flipping and estimating flips was pretty comprehensive and no upselling.

Amanda Han's two books on tax strategies were also pretty good starters.  Honestly, never read the first I believe as from the ToC it was too basic for me.  The second book didn't have much, and there was one glaring error that's already been talked about too much --- sorry, forgot what it was now.

Good luck.

I'm currently listening to the BRRRR audiobook by David Greene. Very informative and I highly recommend!

That's too bad, because tile is, overall, a good flooring choice...lasts forever and low maintenance. My first thought would be to deal with the water getting in the house. Maybe better mats at the entry? Seems like rainwater should not be getting in the house to the extent where you have to consider changing flooring, I mean there are millions of house with tile floors around.....

You could even add cheap area rugs (9x12s) and that would help.

But yes, I would guess that if someone slips and can prove it, they will be coming after you....

O I mean if they came in from the outside after it rained even with shoes it’s slippery. There no water that leaks inside. I apologize for the misinformation

No, that's what I thought.... I meant you need to take care of that issue. There should not be that much water coming in from outside. People need to learn how to wipe their feet...... :-)

Lots of folks use tile in their homes Including my primary and rentals. You can get floor mats for outside and inside so they can wipe their feet. Easy issue to resolve. You can also get an umbrella policy as well if you want to be extra cautious. Lastly you can put the rental in a LLC so they don't come after your primary home.  Lastly you can tell them to take off their shoes once they get into the house. 😉
