Jerrod Hill Process of buying land for development
23 May 2021 | 7 replies
A ton of wholesalers and flippers, but not a lot of developers.  1) I've never tried getting financing to buy the land, I typically buy my land cash so I'm not incurring holing cost while waiting for approval 2) it should not be difficult to get a construction loan, I know lending one offers new construction loan, for my deals I've got a private  lender that borrows me money 3) The way I structure my deals, I'm paying out of pocket for all soft cost engineering, architect,  soil test, impact fees, I left out 2 critical steps on my initial write up Soil test: I'm ordering a soil test as soon I put the lot under contract, the cost is about $500, the county would want to see the result of the test when submitting your stormwater management plan Impact fee: Make sure to check with your county, some counties have them and some don't impact fees could be huge, in my county depend on where you build impact fees could be as much as $25k or $12k 4) I try to get as much as I can get done while under contract, In my county the typical turn around time is about 4months, while in Baltimore county I know builders that will close today and break ground the very next day, they have a faster permit process

Martin W. How to run the numbers on a low rental rate property?
4 September 2020 | 32 replies
I agree with the other posts that maintenance/cap ex is not primarily a function of the rent amount and that using percentage of rent for costs that are basically unrelated to the rent amount creates a pro forma that would be better if another method were used to estimate maintenance/cap ex.  
Johnny McKeon Seller financing on 6 unit apartment in PHX East Valley
6 June 2021 | 38 replies
It took a month and half to complete, listed it online and had quite a few requests and had it rented by Jan. 1st at $899 per month which was above my rent projections.and then apt#2 moved out end of Nov2020 but this time gave me a notice. 2 vacancies at the same time was stressful as hell because before hand everybody was saying they want to stay but I had to stop and realize this is actually part of the plan and a great thing because if I only buy value-add Apartments because it creates equity and if value add is a function of improving the income then I can only buy a property if i can improve the income.
