@Christine Kankowski, @Steve Vaughan and @Account Closed that what I need is a Letter of Intent.  I will begin putting that together.

@Jennifer Lee how many deals have you done now?  This post was 8 years ago, so I'm interested to see how you've done.

@Ryan Copeland, when someone asks for an offer letter, or letter of intent LOI, I give them a basic one outlining price, downpayment, contingencies, due diligence period etc. I make sure to include the following at the end, so they know it's not legally binding (which nothing usually is until a contract is signed, but we live in a litigious society so....

Scott, if I outline the price in the LOI, does that price meant that is the price I am seeking to purchase the property for?

@Kerry Noble Jr they asked for an offer letter. I'm not sure if they know what they're asking for.

Hello BP,

I've been talking with an owner for an off-market deal and they asked me to send an offer letter.  I was wondering does anyone have some type of template to use or can provide some type of example.  Any type of guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @Noe Arreola,

The BRRRR strategy can be applied to both single-family and multi-family. You typically see greater cash-flow from the multi-family because of volume.

From what I've learned through reading, podcasts and other investors is this:

  • Multi-Family:  Great cash flow, more doors for 1 purchase, faster path to achieving wealth
  • Single-Family:  Won't cash flow as much as MF, not as easy to scale up as MF.  SF does have better exit strategies.  If it's a rental, you can sell a home faster than a MF unit.  Only investors are looking for MF, so the sell process could be longer.

That's about all I have time to type as my baby girl is getting restless :-).

    I'm not understanding what you mean by low cash flow with BRRRR. If I buy a property for 100k all cash, put 30k into it, it appraises for 170k. I then do a cash-out refi at 75% LTV, which means that I would get a mortgage at 127.5k. Thus only leaving $2500 invested. And let's say I got a 3.5% interest rate on the loan.

    With your HELOC, you basically did the same thing. I bought all cash, did any rehab, got it appraised and then did a HELOC. Based on your post, I think the rate was like 4.5%.

    So how is a BRRRR in this scenario going to cash flow less?
