    Real Estate Investing: Advice on using equity to buy another property

    Real Estate Investing: Advice on using equity to buy another property


    Advice on using equity to buy another property

    Posted: 15 May 2021 12:42 PM PDT

    Hello! My fiance and I purchased a condo in a popular vacation area with a strong Airbnb and rental history - we are finishing renovating it with the intention of putting it on airbnb in the Summer and mid term rentals in the Winter (this area is popular for people to build their dream homes, so 4-5 month renters are common).

    We purchased this about 6 months ago at 129k and since then the neighboring units of the same floorplan have been selling at 189k-195k. I am very new to the real estate investing game, and have read a bit on BRRR, HELOCs, etc but am still unsure how this could benefit us.

    My question is, could we get some sort of equity loan based on the new valuations/comps in our condo community, and then use that to purchase another investment property?

    I'd appreciate any advice, thank you!

    Property purchased under LLC with hard money loan, LLC owner MIA, foreclosure, & more!

    Posted: 15 May 2021 01:09 PM PDT

    My first time ever getting into REI and it has been a complete disaster.

    I am a managing member of a property LLC that was purchased with a hard money loan with intentions of flipping and selling the property right before covid.

    LLC owner/business partner went MIA and had a mental breakdown and property was at risk of foreclosure. Lied about payments being up to date, had not reached out to the lender, their lawyer etc as he said he had and it was a big mess. I did not know anything until receiving foreclosure notices in the mail at my home address. Property had tons of leins and was considered blighted.

    Luckily with the help of multiple lawyers I was able to sell the the property to a developer in 2 weeks. He is unaware of the sale as my calls have gone unanswered and we were both guarantors on the loan. Had to save my credit and do what was best for the LLC. I am the only one on the lender documents associated with the LLC as managing member (may have been misled in this).

    EIN is under owner and I have checks that need to be deposited. There was no operating agreement but a Corp Resolution naming me managing member. The lawyers I retained were able to create an operating agreement during the sale process.

    • Am I able to open up a business account as the managing member/seller and deposit the checks related to the property?

    First hurdle through with and next is taxes.....

    How do I go about this? EIN is associated with him but I sold as the managing member.

    Lastly, once everything is handled I will be dissolving the LLC.

    My sister wants to buy a house together, renovate and rent it out.

    Posted: 15 May 2021 03:26 AM PDT

    She will be providing only 15 percent of the equity and myself the rest.

    I want it to be as fair as possible so if we did it how should we split up the rental income and eventual equity when the house is sold ?

    I'm thinking she will get a percentage of rental income after taxes dependant on the equity she puts in but I'm unsure how we should agree about the eventual sale of the property.

    She will be putting in an equal amount of work renovating the property with me without using contractors.

    Should we split the profit when sold evenly due to the equal amount of physical work renovating it? Or should this still be a percentage of the equity she invested? I don't want disagreements and I want it to be as fair as possible so there is no room for falling out

    So wanted advice on how to proceed.

    Edit: thanks for the advice I will have a think; although the multiple private messages from people offering me investment opportunities... No thanks.

    Is this a reasonable offer for a potential investor?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 06:10 PM PDT

    Hi!

    Background info: I build healthcare organizations and sell them so this is not my forte. I am currently in the process of Lease Purchasing a 40k square foot property to renovate and turn into a medical facility. The asking price is 1.8 but, in short, the owners have horrific terms for the Lease Purchase and we are days away from the Earnest Agreement expiring. It is is poor condition but I am planning to renovate at my cost.

    Before I totally embarrass myself approaching potential investors, what is a reasonable suggestion?

    If someone purchases the property for $1.8 and I sign a lease agreement for (5-10 years) at $15,000 per month?

    I could also put money down. Just wanting to know what to expect.

    Thanks in advance!

    Separate credit cards for each property?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 11:34 PM PDT

    Hey everybody, I had a question that I couldn't really find on any of my google searches. If I had multiple properties, with separate bank accounts for each property, should I also have separate credit cards for each property? Or have one credit card (for rewards/points/miles) and write down which expenses go to which property?

    The CC transactions will be exported and uploaded to Stessa later.

    Thanks for any help and advice!

    Need Advice: I'm a first time investor... Should I invest in this climate?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 11:20 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, hoping to get some advice on whether real estate investing would be worthwhile to get into for me!

    I'm currently living in my parents house due to COVID. I live in the outskirts of CA (think north of Sacramento). I'll likely be relocating to the East Coast for work in August. The pandemic has been pretty good for my savings in that I've amassed about a 75K savings. I currently work in tech (~100K/yr), but I'll be applying to a PhD program for entrance next year.

    Here's the rationale I've thought in terms of getting into real estate investing:

    At this point, I've pretty much decided that I likely won't be buying a house I'll live in myself until I'm settled down with kids and a family. (I don't think that'll happen for another 5-8 years.) I'm not particularly comfortable investing the savings into the stock market in fear of having to cash out the stocks in a bear market. However, I'm also convinced that having this money in a savings account for the next 5-8 years is the move, and I wanna do something more, perhaps real estate. I think real estate investing would be quite interesting in that my parents have been landlords for single family units for 10+ years now, and they've done quite well for themselves. My parents said that they'll be happy to manage my property in the event that I move elsewhere. Also, my father is quite handy with many simple repairs, which I hope brings down maintenance costs.

    I've been eyeing a 4-plex that costs 424K with a projected rent of 38K/year. Using one of the calculators I found here (thank you u/CitizenCaecus**)**, it projects a $750 cash flow per month with a 7% cash on cash return. I know that most people tend to look for a 10-12% cash on cash, so it's a bit lackluster in this regard. Should I still be concerned about buying into such a hot market if my estimates indicate a positive cash flow? What's your general advice in investing in this climate? Am I in over my head?

    tl;dr

    1. I have savings for a down payment.
    2. Should I necessarily be concerned that I'm buying into a super hot and expensive real estate market even if the property is projected to cash flow?

    Finding a Property Manager? Southern Maine

    Posted: 15 May 2021 08:45 PM PDT

    I'm excited and nervous that I'm finally taking the plunge and buying a multi-family in downtown Biddeford, ME, with a close set for June 21. I have a job that requires a decent amount of travel so I had resolved early on to relinquish better returns and go the property management route. I've put out feelers to half a dozen property managers in the area over the past two weeks, from small-town shops to national chains, and have only heard back from one saying they're full up. Nothing from the rest of them.

    Before I start pestering and following up with each and every one (which I'm more than happy to do), I'm curious if anyone else has experienced something similar? Is it just really busy right now? Or, could it be I'm saying something wrong in the emails? I typically am just reaching out with the high level information (address, # of doors, I/E, etc.) and asking if there is interest. Would really appreciate the insight of others.

    Credit Card and RE

    Posted: 15 May 2021 08:39 PM PDT

    I've been shying away from a cc for a long time, simply because I despise debt and manage without it. I agree with Dave Ramsey on the subject pretty much, I see on wikihow and other platforms that a good credit score goes a long way when it comes to RE investing. The question is is their a way around it? Particularly for a buy rehab and sell investment I'm not talking about funding deals with one but is it a must to be owning one

    Buy Vs. Build a Multi-Family Complex?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 04:46 PM PDT

    Considering the rising costs of construction, current timelines/delays (16-18 months to break ground), would it be better to buy an already built complex, even if your potential build could be bigger in size? In what instances would it be true to buy over build?

    First time investor here - Looking for Duplex/Triplex RE Excel Models

    Posted: 15 May 2021 09:08 AM PDT

    Hello there! My partner and I are evaluating some RE properties for investments, but are lacking a RE excel model to put the numbers down. We're mainly looking at multi-family houses (duplex/triplexes).

    I've looked online but all these models are way too complex, so seeking your guys' help - can you recommend some models we can use?

    What do I need to know before investing into a real estate project as a private investor?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 08:12 AM PDT

    I know this is probably a naive question, but I am very interested in RE development and have been thinking about this.

    I was recently invited to invest into a condo project with an investment duration of 5 years. The structure is Limited Partnership.

    The developer has completed a handful of projects before, and they're very open to provide any information regarding their track record and the project.

    As a private investor, what information should we inquire from the developer to protect our interests?

    Thanks for the help.

    Bidding for a house without an agent. Bay Area

    Posted: 15 May 2021 12:39 PM PDT

    2nd-time buyer and trying to see if I can bid for a house without an agent and pass back part of the benefit (3%) to the seller and sellers' agent.

    1. What should I know?
    2. Is it a wise idea to do this without help?
    3. If yes, where can I learn the process?

    Edit:

    I took advice from this tweet: https://twitter.com/sweatystartup/status/1361036020117082121

    How to buy a house in a hot market: Fire your buyers agent (or don't get one). You're at a disadvantage with a multi-offer scenario. Work directly with the seller agent. Make offer with 2% credit to seller and 1% more commission for the seller agent.

    I am in a hyper-competitive market. Open market houses are paid off in full cash without any contingency.

    Does this qualify for a 1031 exchange?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 12:02 PM PDT

    We purchased a mountain home in mid-July 2019 with plans to renovate it and list it as an STR. We did the renovations ourselves on weekends when we could throughout the rest of 2019 and for the first half of 2020 (including not being able to rent due to Covid).

    We officially started renting the end of June 2020 and have been actively renting it since then (again, minus the occasional weeks due to Covid restrictions).

    We are now interested in selling it via a 1031 exchange. Our idea is to exchange it for a new property which we would plan to rent out for a year and then move into ourselves to establish it as our permanent residence.

    My questions (assume personal days are <14 for each property):

    1. If we were to close on a new property mid-July of 2021, would the previous 24 months qualify our current property for a 1031? Assuming that during the most recent 12 mos we had it rented more than 14 days and during the previous 12 mos it also had more than 14 days? It seems like it to me, but we had owned the home for over 11 months in that first 12 mo period before we started renting it…so it feels weird.
    2. On the other end for the new property, if we rent that out for the minimum amount to qualify it as an investment property, can we let it sit empty for the rest of the time until we move in after a year?

    What’s the thesis for major city RE investment?

    Posted: 15 May 2021 04:28 AM PDT

    The previous thesis for commercial RE in tier-1 (Seattle, DC, NYC, LA etc) urban markets was that despite having higher holding costs and lower yields on a percentage basis, it was all worth it because the appreciation would balance out the numbers.

    Even after this current wave of migration, I don't think these major cities are going to be the job and income growth centers they used to be, so why would investment capital flow there unless the investment yield in say a Salt Lake City becomes the same as LA?

    Specific Questions about Qualifying for FHA Loan

    Posted: 15 May 2021 08:56 AM PDT

    Alright guys, finally ready to get into real estate but I have some specific questions about qualifying for financing. I keep getting different answers from different loan officers.

    here is my situation so you have the context for my questions.

    Age: 23

    Income: $52,000 (started 3 months ago)

    Credit score: 810

    Monthly debt payments: 1,200/month

    Savings: $15,000

    Here are my questions:

    1. Can I qualify for an FHA loan with only 3 mo of work history? (before this job I worked two jobs for 6 mo each, same career, before that, college).
    2. Would I qualify for a $250,000 mortgage for a 4-plex that I'd like to house hack.
    3. Is there any way around the whole "must live in the house for one year"? I might be moving back to LA at the end of the year.

    If you need any more information to answer these questions let me know.

    Thank you all for the inspiration to get started, ready to start building wealth.
