    1) Make the house look nice update do not put in expensive upgrades
    that get little return in rent
    2) always check tenant background and credit score
    3) do not buy a house in the hood this will scare good renters away - location is important
    4) do the renovations yourself - use contractors sparingly
    5) check the house for mold termites plumbing electrical roof HVAC sewer bad foundation and damage before buying - expensive repairs
    6) mortgage insurance - avoid if possible
    7) found a local realtor to give you accurate comps .. comparable homes with correct appraisal prices .. get multiple comps if possible
    8) use the gross rental multiplier equation to calculate value instead of cash flow .. value is the appreciation plus the rents
    9) buy in areas and towns you know .. close by so you can check on it
    10) calculate cash flow from rent minus costs taxes repairs etc .. appreciation .. and buy as far under market value as possible
    11) learn ways to find homes at discount .. buy from people you know personally .. foreclosure auctions etc
    12) try out the "deal machine" real estate database

    For derogatory marks on a credit report, I’d probably dig in a bit to see what it’s about before outright rejecting a potential tenant. A bankruptcy filed for medical debt, for example, is going to weigh a lot less on my decision than someone that had discharged some auto loans and a bunch of credit cards.

    One benefit of Socal is if you have a old roof you can wait for the wind to blow a few times. If I lose shingles wait a little longer since it rarely rains and get the roof tune up. Id rather spend 300 then 10k. I hate going up on roofs.

    This reminds me of when Bigger Pockets was all “You should invest in Scranton, because the gross rent multiple is ridiculously low and the average cash flow is very high.”
    Cool story bro. I grew up near there. There’s a REASON property values are so low in that area. I would only consider it if the area was on the upswing. Quality tenants are hard to find, the area is rife with poverty and it has been that way since the coal industry died.

  • @cb-gz1vl
    @cb-gz1vl 3 роки тому

    On the gross rental multiplier equation think about as how much money did you spend to make money. So lets say you buy a 1.2 mil home and can only rent it for 1k per month. That's 12k per year. That a multiplier of 100.
    Now lets say you bought a home for 120k a year then rent it for 1k a month. That's a multiplier of 10. So in the second case it cost you 120k to make 12k a year instead of 1.2 mil.
    Another way to think about it is mutual funds. Lets say you put 1.2 mil into a fund that makes 12k a year. That's worse than a fund where 120k gets you 12k a year. So you wouldn't tie up 1.2 mil in a crappy fund that only earns 1/100th payout. You'd invest in the one earning 1/10th payout.
    How much money does it cost to make you the money. 100 times is bad. 10 times is good.

    @lifeforgod07 3 роки тому

    Love the videos. Buying one of these "great deals" is easier said than done. In my area, there's 100s of people that are jumping on these fixer upper properties that are selling below market value in a great neighborhood. The day the house hits the market, the property gets bid up to the point where it's no longer a good deal at all. So good luck to ya'll searching for that house that hits all the wickets. It's likely never going to happen.
    I've noticed there's much less competition on the more expensive but already finished properties that are listed at market value. That's where I'm going. If I can get one of those homes at or slightly below market value, that's a win in the DC/Northern Virginia market.

  • @itsmimi3154
    @itsmimi3154 3 роки тому

    I’m confused. GRM means the amount of years it would take to pay the loan off? You divided 1m and 1.2m both by $120k. At 1m it would take 8.33 years to pay off and 1.2m would take 10 years. If you were to purchase at 1.2m wouldn’t it most likely be a slightly better property that you could possibly charge more rent for? Let’s say you bought at 1.2m and rented 10 units for $1,200 which makes it $144k annually. Divide the 1.2m by 144k and it’s 8.33 years which works out to be same as property A. So this could be done in both situations but you’d just have to raise the rent? How strict are relative rental prices for each area?

    • @sophisticatedserpent1512
      @sophisticatedserpent1512 3 роки тому

      Kevin is assuming that the rent can't be raised higher than 120k in the area where property is located. At least for the comparable properties. Most of the time you can only raise rent if comparable properties (properties in the same area, same/similar size and with same amount of units etc.) on average, have higher rent rates than what is being charged on your property.
      Edit: so to answer your question, yes theoretically you could raise rent but it will be hard to find tenants and keep them for longer. Rent prices are usually pretty strict and people don't want to overpay.

    I’ll be down there in two weeks, should I buy a rental property if my in-laws run errands for me?

    Kevin, do you have videos that breakdowns the cost estimate of renovating? It could be a very long video, maybe make multiple videos for diff parts of the house

    Meet Kevin, have you any insight to buying a “Affordable Housing” new builds? Are you able to live in it for a few years and then use it as an INV property? ...Or they not eligible to rent out.

    If I buy a new place, I’ll have about $400 negative cash flow due to my current home mortgage. Do you still recommend to buy a good property in this market?
