[@travisnachman8724]

It would be nice if you went into a quick breakdown of how you picked the rehab and arv numbers you picked

[@frankperez1046]

The ARV is based on the comparable properties in the area. I would assume the rehab is based on what a contractor or professional estimates but I agree, I would also like to know.

[@dianadean270]

Hello, thank you all for the great BP videos. I'm wondering does one need to have basically no credit debt in order to get to the refinance step, and have this work as described? ,Or pretty much? ty!

[@mikeb.4356]

One aspect I didn’t hear you talk about, is the extra cost to carry the mortgage while rehabbing the house and have no tenant paying rent during that time.

[@zacharymoya5622]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought he mentioned that hard money loans will typically be interest only. So maybe during the rehab phase (3-6 months) you’re only payment other than rehab costs will be the interest payments on the amount borrowed, which will vary based on how much you were loaned. Hope this helps?

[@stevenmecke257]

They talked briefly about it. They mentioned minimizing your holding costs.

[@frankperez1046]

I was wondering the same thing, where do you factor that into your calculations.

[@peekos]

Please post more videos about this property. would love to see how it turns out!

[@bradr3620]

Does the calculator assume you are brining the rehab costs in cash, or financing them (i.e. construction loan, HML, etc.)? How do you use the calculator to handle these two different ways to do a rehab?

[@kunlesoniregun2094]

Am I misunderstanding? or at 58:31 did he mean **20% of the purchase price lined up perfectly with 10% of the appraised value? If that is not what he meant then I don’t understand how a bigger percentage of a bigger number can line up with a smaller percentage of a smaller number

[@ReDr0go]

I haven't finished the video and I already like it, really useful information and well explained thanks

Thank you, are you also familiar with staking?

How do you use the BRRRR calculator if you’re using a fixed rate HELOC?

[@freedyorozco8451]

My brrrr didn't appraise as much as I wanted any ideas? Bought for $52k renovated for $9k appraised for $80k. Bank for refinance will only give $40k.

[@freerka]

Another great video lads. Thank you for laying out the BRRR model. I just wish you would go deeper into the numbers, especially the rehab numbers. When I complete my BRRRs I an very conservative with the rehab numbers, and timeline, as the projects always run late and above the initial estimate. I think David and the crew should also add a carrying cost estimate to the analysis, as there will be extra costs (monthly utility bills, mortgage bills, brokerage advertising fees, ect...) you have to pay while renovating the project. It would be great if they did a deep dive into these extra costs that can come up during the renovation/ stabilization timeline, but overall a great podcast and I am happy I found you guys :)

[@ChanceStemMovingMaryland]

I agree with you! They should definitely add Carrying cost estimates into the Analysis. Alot of our Newer Borrowers don't think about adding that in their when making the Max Allowable Offer. It can offset the numbers, and returns pretty drastically. People also don't factor in atleast a 10% spill over on renovations. Where are you doing your investing at?

[@r828realty]

What about zoning....knowing you can add rooms etc before buying

[@dannysoper1447]

Will you guys add a Short Term Rental calculator to the BP pro calculators?

[@jimmypinero]

Awesome awesome stuff. Very informative!

I wanted to do a cash out refinance on a duplex I purchased in 2019 but just recently found out that the state of Texas doesn’t allow cash out refi on multi family properties. The only solution to this problem is to re plat the property into two.

What is the process for switching unit counts and getting it rezoned for more? Best way to estimate costs? My area is very hard to get anything in, but I did see a run down duplex with both units being 2-1 above my city listed at 550k, doing the calculations it wouldn’t generate cash for me, unless I converted it to to 4 1-1 units which seemed possible, but I don’t know how to estimate cost of adding bathrooms and cutting the existing units.

[@user27278]

ADU; In my area I can buy a 750 sq ft house for 300k+ but I can build it for less than 100k as an ADU. Both would bring in the same rent close to 2k but for the house the payment on a mortgage would take all of my rent money and an ADU would cash flow massively. If an appraiser says it only added 20k in resale value what do I care if I'm making 20k a year in rent??? Besides, building an ADU is actually providing and producing homes as opposed to just removing already built houses from the market to convert them into rentals.

[@naureenkhashwji8039]

@1:02 David mentions the new property will be refinanced, but I thought most banks will only refinance after one year. I’m so confused.

[@joshw7582]

I wanted to watch the entire podcast on YT but it was on Spotify first. Regardless great podcast

[@vtambellini]

One question, how much is the original loan for? Does that loan cover the $50k for renovations? Or just for the purchase price? What if you don’t have the cash for 20% down and $50k for renovations? Thanks!

[@Subliminal_Chaos]

Then you need to either save up the cash or figure out a way to finance that as well…

[@jarretmoore3858]

So I bought my first duplex 2 years ago trying to do the burr I've been trying to get my cash out of the property having a very hard time I put 25% down have had both units rented with a positive cash flow and I don't know what has changed but just can't seem to get a HELOC going to try a total refinance here shortly if the interest rates come down a little more I don't know maybe it's just Michigan

Newbie here trying to understand the process... Why/Do you need to rent first in order to refinance?

[@crazyflores]

Perfect timing my lil sis just sent me two homes that def need repair👨‍🔧 👩‍🔧 I gotta do something

[@jtjtcook4]

I don’t guess I quite understand. When reading about cash out refi’s, I keep seeing that you can take a chunk of the amount of equity you have in the property. How would they take $280K out if the difference between the ARV ($350K) and the amount financed ($176) is only $174K. If he got $280 out, wouldn’t he be left with only $104K after he paid off the original loan?

[@hsiang4236]

Yes I feel like they didn't explain this part too clearly. Total cash into the home is $99k (44k down payment + 50k repair cost + 5k closing cost) so after they pay off the 176k loan balance with the 280k cash-out, they are left with 104k which is more than the money initially put in

[@mcktsh4245]

So basically, you refinance, pull out your money and use that money to do it again, right? New at this so please be patient with me. So the whole concept would be to keep all the houses as rentals? Or can we flip it?

[@Digitaltrapping.]

Just refer your questions to my email. I’ll enlighten you on a easier level especially on soemthing.

Is the analysis of the deal and showing where the difference ARV and the "money into the deal" the 20% delta that would otherwise be a down payment, assuming that 80% loan is coming from a private or hard money lender ? Or do you have to actually fund a down payment from other funds?

[@calebmacdonald6189]

How do you manage the permitting? You’re taking a SFH to a 5 unit so there must be zoning considerations as well as the crazy California safety standards of construction. How is that risk managed? Thanks!
