To get this deal to cash flow, you could look into increasing the rent if the market allows or reducing operating expenses, such as lowering management fees, vacancy rates, or insurance costs. Negotiating a better interest rate on your refinance would reduce your monthly mortgage payments, helping boost cash flow. You might also delay refinancing until the property value or rent increases, which could secure better terms or higher returns. Adding extra income streams, like charging for utilities or offering laundry services, can also help improve cash flow. DM me, and I’ll point you in the right direction!

Good luck!

Your analysis looks solid. With a cash flow of $6,600, an 11% cash-on-cash return, and an 8% cap rate, you’re seeing good profitability. These numbers suggest this could be a strong buy-and-hold investment, assuming the market supports your rent and expense estimates.

Good luck!

Estimating ARV accurately is key to making the BRRRR method work. Look at comparable sales within the last 3-6 months, using properties similar in location, size, and renovation level. The 70% rule is a good starting point, but also factor in local market trends and high-ROI upgrades like kitchen and bathroom updates, modern flooring, and curb appeal. Need help analyzing a deal?

 Thank you for your response! Ok, so kitchen and bathroom updates.

Would you be willing to explain the 70% rule in layman's terms?

The 70% rule helps investors determine the maximum price they should pay for a property. In simple terms, it says you shouldn’t pay more than 70% of the property’s After Repair Value (ARV) minus the cost of repairs. This leaves room for profit and covers unexpected expenses after fixing the property.

Congrats on your condo purchase, Since it's your first home and potential rental, choosing the right mortgage and down payment is key. A 30-year mortgage offers lower monthly payments, which could be a good fit for flexibility when you rent it out. For the down payment, aiming for 5-10% down balances cash flow flexibility with homeownership. When you're ready to rent, consider refinancing to eliminate PMI and potentially lower your rate once you've gained at least 20% equity. DM me if you'd like more details or a specific breakdown for your situation!

Good luck!

Mastering underwriting is key to making smart multifamily investments, and the best investors start with a strong manual foundation before leveraging automation. Studying real deals, using standardized models, and refining assumptions with real market data will help sharpen your skills. Automation tools like Excel models, or AI-driven platforms can speed up the process, but a hybrid approach—manual first, then automating repetitive tasks—is the most effective. Have you built or customized your own underwriting model yet? DM me, and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Good luck!

You’re in an exciting space, and with your commercial wholesaling background, you already have an edge in deal sourcing and valuations. To raise capital, focus on building a strong investment thesis, leveraging your track record, and networking with high-net-worth investors or experienced GPs. For client acquisition, positioning yourself as a thought leader through LinkedIn, webinars, and investor education can help build trust. How are you currently structuring your capital raises—syndications, JVs, or a fund? 

All the best!

Thank you all for taking the time to offer your advice. After careful consideration of where I want to take my business, I've realized that raising capital isn't the direction I'm interested in. I find fulfillment in providing value by assisting groups with research and acquisition of commercial real estate, and being a trusted partner they can rely on for smooth transactions and accurate data. I truly enjoy the process of analyzing opportunities and witnessing the growth of both large and mid-sized companies. For now, I’ll continue focusing on helping companies acquire commercial real estate.

 That’s a great realization! Focusing on research, acquisitions, and being a reliable partner in commercial real estate is a valuable niche. Your expertise in analyzing opportunities and facilitating smooth transactions will make you an asset to investors and businesses alike. If you ever want to discuss strategies for sourcing deals, building relationships with institutional buyers, or refining your market analysis approach, feel free to DM me—I’d be happy to help!

All the best!

Your focus on small multifamily and land acquisition is a strong strategy, especially for scaling and long-term value creation. For multifamily, target markets with strong rental demand, value-add opportunities, and creative financing options like seller financing or private capital. On the land side, zoning, highest-and-best-use analysis, and exit strategies are key to maximizing returns. Are you currently analyzing any specific deals or markets? DM me, and I’ll point you in the right direction!

All the best!
