@Houman Omidifar Curious about the strategy you are going in with for SFH. Are you trying to buy something turn key and look for cash flow that way? I am new to the industry and haven't come across many SFH that are turn key in Texas that would cash flow

@Stone Saathoff I did pass the bid around to some of the more experienced investors I know and they did say that some of the prices were a little higher. This is near the downtown area, a little south of it. Not in the historic district by the way

Hello BP, we are currently under contract with on a triplex for 139k. It was built in 1912, which comes with its own set of issues. We initially budgeted about 50k for rehab but rehab estimates are coming out close to 70k. This is will be our first BRRRR property. The area is in an up and coming area of san Antonio. We have spoken to property managers about the rent that can be had in the area and confident that we will be able to hit the mark.

With that being said, below is the scope of work we drafted (please keep in mind that this is our first BRRRR rehab) I have never created a scope of work, I followed DGs template in the BRRRR book.

We were hoping to get some expert input of the scope for the rehab/if we missed anything glaring.

You have to understand that your hard money loan is interest only. Your conventional loan is your PITI. Conventional loans are almost always more expensive than your HML.

You did your calculations incorrectly. If you are financing your rehab, you should not make it an out of pocket expense like you did in your calculations.

Hi James. To understand this a little better. You are Wanting to pull a conventional loan to purchase the property, do the rehab out of your own pocket and then refinancing/ cash out 75% of arv? 

With 30k needed in rehab, are you sure it will qualify for a conventional loan? Or are you planning on using a 203? Either way 41k out of pocket is a lot of money. Have you considered using a hard money lender? 

In any case, when you say put a lower interest rate for refi, are you entering a number lower than 3.4 and your cash flow is dropping?

Hi BP community! I am looking at ways to increase lead generation. I’ve read quite a number of posts and decided to go the route of purchasing a list. I am curious to know, for those who’ve done it, with of the two methods worked better for you. Or was it a combination of both. Cold calling vs direct mail. What has been your success rate with either of the methods?
