Fairfield, TX Duplex Build
MY EXACT PROCESS to analyze a duplex build... In this post you'll get the COMPS and SPREADSHEET! We have someone in the group who is looking at building out in Fairfield. FOUND that his Cash-on-Cash ROI is 29%! So awesome! I remember a time in Houston when 12% was considered acceptable (and it probably still is) He sent me the lot that he already owns and he asked me to help him figure out the numbers for his Duplex Build. I'm dropping this here for you as a LEARNING TOOL and it's simple: - Closed rentals - Closed sales comps Do the math. Make a decision. If you want more "One-on-One" time, just get on my Calendly, here! I'll break it down for you just like this! Let's go! Juan-

Boots on the ground! (Field trip)
A big thank you to @Juan Cristales for the hands on mentorship he’s giving us. We went on site to 2 different projects. First one was the start of a duplex, dirt pad completed at the pre-pour stage with the forms down and then to a fully completed duplex a few minutes away to checkout the finishes. He gave us a pop quiz 😆, we talked surveys, forms, grading for drainage, measurements, engineered foundation plans, driveway requirements, culverts and inspections! Oh and we also saw the finished product, looks super classy 👌🏼.

Lender Bummer
Bit of a bummer on the lending side this week. I spoke with a broker/lender I’ve worked with before, and after checking with a few lenders for construction to permanent loan, this was the feedback: “With a good FICO and no build experience, leverage would be around 65% LTC, not to exceed 55% ARV, unless the builder is willing to come onto the loan.”-Ouch-111K !!! Back to the drawing board. I’m thinking of pivoting toward: - Exploring private money options - Potentially securing the lot first - Getting the project closer to permit-ready to improve credibility with lenders Curious how others have navigated this hurdle Always learning…

@Jessica Grant guess it’s just what it is out there.

@Jessica Grant WOAH! That seems like a good return if you know the build process.
Meetup Thursday 26 March 2026!!
Based on the input, this coming Thursday will be the best day to meet. Here are the options and I can likely make all of these to accommodate as many people as possible: - We have one project in Willis currently with the fill dirt complete, forms in place, compaction test done. - We have the SUPER moldy house that has the Sheetrock up now also in Willis. - We have the 4 lots in Conroe we STILL are waiting for permit approval so there isn’t much to see there. Nothing much to see there. - We have the Salinas’s project but they too are waiting for permits - We can all meet somewhere in North Houston at a coffee shop and we can just go over what everyone is working on. I’m always down to eat some donuts. Let me know either way! Build 2 Rent, Juan-

My new build update!
Good morning guys! My new build is moving right along. There was a little bit of delays from all the rain we had which is common for spring time. But the foundation has been dug and poured hopefully not this coming week but the following week the block will be installed, which only takes a day. Juan, is there anything that sticks out to you about my foundation?
My new build update!

@Drew Phebus I don't do temp driveways unless I absolutely need to. The reason why is because it will have to be done twice. Once now for the temp and then again for the final. I also don't do a temporary electricity pole because it's the same thing. It's a "nice to have" for the contractors but not for me since I'm paying for it. I tell them to bring their own generators... kinda standard practice around here!

@Drew Phebus it will def be a muddy mess for some of it without rock. I'm used to it though so I don't really care either way. If it's a genuine concern for you, and you can get a truck load for like $500-$800, then I would just do it. Here is and I think a big lesson for everyone: "A CLEAN WORK ENVIRONMENT MAKES FOR EFFICIENT BUILD" Can't tell you how many "other builder's" projects I've visited during construction and it isn't just a MUDDY MESS... there's food trash on the floor, wood trash, contractor material trash, tripping hazards, the sawdust hasn't been removed from the when the framers will still there... Keep it clean always. Yeah, I think it's a Texas thing for contractors. Also, Texas gets hit with hurricanes and just about everyone here has some sort of portable generator.
