Looking for some guidance/insight
https://x.com/jimchuong/status/1879957178951561354?s=42 I've been studying RE investing for a couple of months now. Found the pod a couple of weeks ago, started bingeing it and never looked back (love the content lads keep it up). I've been analyzing and unwriting deals for 2 weeks now so I'm very new to this. I found this deal about an hour from where I am based. I received the financials from the seller, and the rents are well below market value on unrenovated units (Its 6 units, 2 fully renovated 2 partly and 2 which have not been) I believe that with negotiating the seller down between 10-15% below asking price as I've included below, renovating some of the units and bringing up the rents (have each unit priced slightly below market value trying to be conservative to make sure its a good deal) the numbers look pretty good. I based my operating expenses on the financials the seller sent me, each of the tenants pays their own utilities. I just came across this video from jim choung on my feed, he is how I got into this in the first place. While it isn't far off, this deal does not follow the rule he advises of the purchase price being no more than 8 times gross rent multiple. Jim justifies this by saying "You're an investor, not an operator" I know it is a lot of upfront cost but the building post-renos cash flows very well, and this is somewhat counterintuitive to what Dan and Nick says, "Real estate is not passive you are building a business" Projected Monthly Rental income of this property = $13,679 x 12 =$164,148.00 x 8 =$1,313,184.00 I'm still waiting to hear back from quotes on contractors, but the seller estimated to cost of renovating existing units at $210,000. The all-in-total purchase price would be around 1.63M (612k down between downpayment, reno's, and other closing costs) Thoughts?? (Also I have very little capital and will be looking for JV/partner in the future to share good deals I find with. If you're interested HMU)
