Quote from @Branden Rivero:
Depends what you conisder light, medium, and heavy. For me, a regular 1,300 sq ft house with new roof and windows I am not spending under $60k+ currently
We are looking at 75K on 1300 sqft, but still there is all the financial Cost. if you are borrowing on a construction loan. Draw fees and monthly interest will add up.

Let’s Connect!
I run a boutique investor-focused brokerage. I’ve held my license for over 15 years, though I only worked as a traditional realtor for 2–3 years in the middle of my career. The majority of my experience has been in wholesaling, buying, fixing, and flipping houses—and now I specialize in multifamily properties.
Our culture is simple: commissions are just a job, but investing builds wealth.
If you share that vision, I’d love to connect and explore opportunities.

Local Meetup is the best place to meet active investors.
Yesterday we went to the Miami Multifamily group event at the squadron restaurant, great network environment. They share insights on how to raise capital, from Meta-Facebook to co-living investing as Project BBRCo-living. Great cash flow, great experience to your next step in Multifamily buying. They meet every 2 weeks Tuesday. The info is on the event in bigger pocket.
But DM and we meet in November, I am always looking to connect with investors.

We manage 8 co-living.
I can refer you to a co-living savvy constructor. "Not all contractors speak investor language"..
If you are new, consider consulting with someone who can advise you on your business.
Co-living, short-term rental or Airbnb are not the same thing.
Text me if you want to chat.

Hi Mr. Drew,
We’re a wholesaler group, but before we make any recommendations, I’d like to ask:
What does a good wholesaler look like to you?
That way, we can better understand what you're looking for and guide you to the right one.
I agree with Nick — it’s the deal that matters more than the wholesaler.
When I sell houses, people often ask, “Who’s the bank?” I always say, “Don’t worry, I work with the worst bank possible — hopefully they go out of business and cancel your loan!”
the point is: it's not about who holds the debt — it’s about the numbers.
Same with wholesalers. If you're expecting an amazing deal — $50K to $90K below value, smooth process, and a $5K assignment fee — Not easy to find you get what you pay for.
Build a relationship with the wholesaler.
Tell them what you need to make money. Go through the numbers together. That’s how you create a consistent pipeline of good deals.
You mentioned you've been in the business since 2010, so you know the game.
the deal is just the 30% — it’s how you buy it, finance it, rehab it (time and cost) — that’s where the profit is made.
At the end of the day, it’s all about cash-on-cash results.
Best regards,

Quote from @Stephen Morales:
Hey @Amir Twig,
At our company we preach volume.
Most of our users seeing success are targeting owners with high equity and keeping the maximum value to 5-10% of the median sale value of your market and ownership at 3 years minimum.
You can also narrow it down by doing absentee or out of state owners with 2-3 properties in their portfolio.
Volume is key though with high equity.
The name of the game is cash flow.
If your rental income doesn’t cover your expenses—especially high property taxes, insurance, or ongoing repairs—you’re in trouble.
It doesn’t matter how much equity you have; if the property isn’t cash flowing, you may be forced to sell… or the bank will do it for you.
Most landlords sell because of two main issues:
-
Problems with the property (maintenance, repairs, location)
-
Problems with the tenants (non-payment, turnover, management headaches)
For many, selling becomes a retirement strategy—or a way out of a bad situation.
