- Motivation Monday - March 2020 Edition
- Weekly Question Thread - Week of March 2nd
- Does anyone factor in income tax when they do a property analysis? I’m a newbie so I would imagine it’s ~22% of all rental income, which would eat into any cash flow pretty hard. I’m sure you can lower your total income through deductions, but not the whole thing right? Just seeing what y’all do!?
- Why is it so hard for so many tenants to have things in their units repaired. Google reviews for many buildings are full of disgruntled residents complaining about broken: elevators, HVAC systems, plumbing and etc?

| Do REI then move, or move then REI? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:42 PM PST I've been 'wanting' to get into RE investing for too long now. I know way too much without having any practical experience. At the same time, I want to gtfo the small FL town I'm in because it's mentally killing me, so I haven't been eager to purchase here and get tied to this place. So my question is, do I get a new job in a new city (choosing a location with REI in mind) and build up REI on the side, or do I choose a new city based primarily on the REI market, dive in head first, and then find a job later? I have enough cash to live for 6+ months without a job but obviously wouldn't be able to get my cash flow up to living expense level that quickly. Or do I just start investing where I'm at and suck it up? [link] [comments] |
| FHA 203K -Multi-Family- Experiences? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 11:59 AM PST Hello all, I've been researching the heck out of REI for years now and looking to make my first purchase a multi-family house using an FHA 203K loan. I wanted to ask folks who have purchased a multi-family with and FHA 203K if you'd be so kind as to share your experiences on things such as, 1) How long did the reno take 2) How many units 3) Were there any surprises or anything you wished you knew before doing it? 4) Would you recommend it? I would be so appreciative to anyone who can share your experience, or any advice/pointers/lessons learned! Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| As a reference point from other foreign investors in the US; what % federal tax do you pay? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 03:41 PM PST and in what state is your property. And are you always allowed to use IRC §882(d) and not the 30%. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 05:23 PM PST In a deal where I purchase a property purchase option (to be exercised upon death of the sole owner), can I put a voluntary lien on that property as part of the contract to guarentee repayment in the event of a mortgage or sale? Is there a better way to guarentee repayment in the event of a first-mortgage/reverse-morgage or sale? I'm located in Washington State, USA. [link] [comments] |
| Tricky question on jointed investment with a relative... Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:36 PM PST Have an investment opportunity for three rental properties near a major public university in a mid sized state capital city. One duplex and two multiple units houses (9 and 6 units respectively). we have won the bid for 1.6 M. Sister in law from Singapore as investment partner offered invest 350k for down payment, me and wife got approved for loan total 1.3M for three houses. The three houses are adjacent to each other and are walking distance to University and on light rail and bus line. All units are rent out - rental income 11k per month which should cover our loan. The plan is to establish an joint adventure btw us and sister in law to buy and manage the three properties. We have been investing rental properties ourself for years but never had an investment partner til now. The question is: with above information , what percentage of share should we hold in the joint adventure? What kind of professional help should we seek and where to find it? Was hoping to find an investment guru to guide us through this. Any advice appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 04:37 PM PST Im in a unique position where I have about 1M liquid, but I have basically zero real estate experience. The idea of buying a random house and doing all that work to return ten grand seems not worth the effort. Buying a small apartment building on the other hand makes more sense. Im just wondering if jumping straight into that is a bad idea? I'm pretty smart finance guy and good with numbers and Excel so modeling these deals is no problem. I'm just wondering if there will be pitfalls in either managing the property or not recognizing deferred maintenance issues or some other unknown unknown. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 12:25 PM PST The CC&Rs does not explicitly address this so I'm curious how folks here would approach this problem. No issues with the crack at all, everything seems to be level. Would the HOA typically fix something like this? I'm a bit confused bc it's not technically in my unit as this is an issue with the underlying infrastructure of the building/unit. [link] [comments] |
| Tax Lien Certificate Investing Posted: 02 Mar 2020 03:34 PM PST Hi, I live in NYC and stumbled on TLC investing. Free event held this Saturday. Wondering if I should go. Anyone has experience with TLC? good economics or a waste of time? How do the opportunity sets in TLC compared to old school buy/rent/flip? Thanks, [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:28 AM PST Hi All, Have my eye on a bank owned property in Wilmington, De. Asking $15,700 in cash. Roof leaked and caused water damage, I should be able to see the extent of it tonight. Currently sitting on $7,600 in cash ($9,000 total in 2 weeks if I can wait it out). Question is ...am I able to finance the balance of the purchase and reno costs? If so, what are some options? Open to any suggestions. Property values are about 90-110K for comps and it can rent for about 1,000/1,100. Seems like there is a lot of equity here to work with if I am able to get the financing. Thank you all!

| What COC ROI are you guys hitting with SFH and small-multifamily? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 11:24 AM PST Also, what town do you operate in. I'm in Raleigh/Durham so curious to see what numbers others are hitting. [link] [comments] |

| 46 Year old getting started late :/ Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:21 AM PST Good morning everyone :) My situation, I have a house with about $100k in equity. I bought the house on a VA loan and in the next 6 months I am looking to move to a new state. I want to start accumulating properties and create residual income that can provide for me when I retire. I was considering renting my current house (3 bedroom with partially finished basement) and then buying a condo in downtown SLC. I would live in the the condo for 1 year and then turn that into a rental. Ive also considered buying a ski condo in Park City or Solitude as my work allows me to work remote 95% of the time and the commute to SLC wouldn't be awful for those other days. What is currently holding me back is my credit. I got divorced 3 years ago and during the process I was late on some bills...completely my fault and preventable. My credit is recovering but I currently cant get a good rate for a refi so I could use my VA in SLC. With my current mortgage I wouldn't be able to use a management company and still get my money back. In 1 year my credit will be fine, should I wait?? Should I sell my current house and buy the condo and start with that?? [link] [comments] |
| Best way to find equity partners Posted: 02 Mar 2020 06:11 AM PST Hello, So I have used equity partners in deals before however they were all people I have known for a while. My first flip I actually went to my works Christmas party and fund raised profit sharing shares. I started exclusively doing brrr flips with 2-4 unit properties this last year and got from 0-9 units however I'm at a spot where I can't get any more with out influx of more cash. I have more deals that work come towards me for example a 4 plex buy for 75k 60k rehab and refinance for 140k leaving 15k in but cash flowing 2k a month. Just wondering what's the best place to look for an equity partner without looking like a scammer. I'm willing to do all the work obviously (contractors, financing, refinance etc) Any input is appreciated -cheers [link] [comments] |

| What type of fees is the buyer responsible for? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 03:00 PM PST Still new to real estate investing and would like to know from someone who has done it what the general costs are associated with the buyer for say a 200k single family home. What are considered closing costs? How much would they generally be on the 200k home? Thanks everyone! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 01:58 AM PST A mentor Hi everyone, it is really nice to see that some experienced people share their ideas, businesses, real estate stories etc. I really like it and thanks for that. There's something you also hear often and it is 'go find a mentor that can help you, or give information how to take the first steps etc'. It's good advice but I'll tell you what is happening a lot of times. I send a lot of direct messages to experienced people, and they often end their message with 'go find a mentor who can help you'. I totally agree with that, and I appreciate that they take the time to react on my questions. The next thing is, it's kinda hard to find a mentor through Reddit or other websites which lives in the same country. The rules in America are different from the rules in my country, the Netherlands. I'm kinda scared to reach out to ask people in my local area who are successful in investing, real estate or businesses. I don't even really know how to reach out. So my question is; how do I reach out to those local successful people? In what way you would like to be asked by a 22 y/o student to give him some information? Also, any tips to find a mentor through Reddit or other websites? Maybe any people from the Netherlands in this subreddit who 'made' it or are able to be my mentor? I wish you guys all the best, and hope you all will be successful in what you like to do. [link] [comments] |
| Lock VA 2.875% 30 year (1/8th point) ? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 11:45 AM PST Should I lock a 2.875 VA today with .125 point ? Or wait a few more days (lender suggestion he still thinks going lower and or points go away) [link] [comments] |
| Share your direct mail marketingexperience Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:26 AM PST I am a new investor looking to acquire off market deals. I did a very small direct mailing a year ago. Got 100 letters out before finding a good deal on the MLS, putting it all on hold. Got 3 or 4 calls back, one interested seller who eventually ghosted me and I didn't keep following up once I found the other deal. I was encouraged by this hit rate despite nothing coming of it. Currently prepping 450 new letters to mail at the moment and just wanted to hear other stories. Need some encouragement that this will work. Strategy, printed letter, hand signed by my wife and I on a No. 10 envelope with hand written addresses. Worked well last time, the people that called said it intrigued them. Input, expertise, stories appreciated. Edit: This is for buy and hold/BRRRR for myself. [link] [comments] |
| Buying real estate unequal partnership Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:27 AM PST I am looking to buy another property for investment. I have an investment partner that wants to invest with me. Here is where it gets complicated. Our family just grew and the place we own is not big enough anymore. We want to rent out the place we own but also want to buy another house with a partner and rent half of it. Does anyone have any experience with this type of situation? I want the deal to benefit both parties equally. However, I would be paying half the mortgage/ insurance while I live there putting more money into the place than the partner. Also if someone has resources or this kind of deal that I could read it would be very helpful. [link] [comments] |
