.- Better pricing control.

I also structured the deal with only 5% down and a 3% seller contribution, allowing me to control a strong asset with minimal capital.

At that stage, I’m not trying to dial in precision—I’m trying to answer one question: Is this even worth spending more time on?

By using factory-built homes on deeded lots, we can control costs, reduce construction risk, and deliver attainable pricing.

Is it scale, control, or margin that drives the decision?

Otherwise you will have to raise rents per the prescribed rent control limits WA state imposed last year. 

Hello Everyone,With lumber/steel tariffs hitting builders hard (+$10k/home) and supply chains still volatile, curious how active rehabbers are adjusting bids and margins.Some trends I'm noticing:Contractors padding 15-20% more on material estimatesShift to cosmetic rehabs vs full gut interiorsMore prefab/modular components to control costsQuestions for flippers/rehab pros:What's your current contingency % on rehab budgets?

The scope was controlled, the updates were targeted, and the layout supported improvements without major structural changes.

I’m looking for feedback and potential capital partners on a control position I have in a multi-family in Canarsie (Brooklyn).Key details:• Estimated current value: ~$975K–$1.02M (recent area comps)• Existing mortgage at ~2.87%• 50% ownership interest available• Target entry: low–mid $300Ks for the 50% positionStructure options:– Preferred: mortgage assumption– Also open to structured equity / JV discussionsI’m primarily interested in connecting with experienced operators who understand Brooklyn asset management and long-term hold strategy.Happy to share rent roll, expense breakdown, and valuation comps with proof of funds.Would appreciate thoughts from the group on pricing and structure as well.

From a tax perspective, appreciation is actually the least reliable and least controllable wealth lever in BRRRR.
