Real Estate has always been the surest way to wealth, specifically renting. One of the best things a person can do is to get a 15 year mortgage, pay it off, get another 15 year mortgage on a second house. Maybe do it a 3rd or 4th time after that! I love the duplex idea if you can make it work financially. As a family guy myself with kids having some special needs, I'd probably rent out both sides so my kid can have his own place while still being right next door.

Hey Daniil, Thanks for making this, it was super helpful. One question I had is, how do you estimate property taxes for a new build? By finding similar existing buildings and seeing what they pay or…? Thanks

[@RehabValuator]

Step 1: Figure out the As Built Value. Residential will trade based on comps. Commercial buildings based on NOI and cap rate (watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6nZqqKVl8-Naq8) Step 2: Multiple the ABV by the county tax rate. That's it! :)

[@jgg204]

The hardest part is getting the subdivision approved. In my county they basically put that to a complete stop, b/c people were coming in and tearing down large old single family homes and building Quads. They claimed they didn't want multi-family junking up the neighborhoods which is ridiculous. There is a significant and critical shortage of middle housing right now (which have affordable apartments, unlike the new complexes)

[@getinthespace7715]

In my town they purposely mix single and multifamily so you don't end up with segregated income populations in a section of town. There was one multimillionaire who bought up all the property around his neighborhood to prevent an apartment complex from being built. Lol. It is what it is.

Was looking for this comment because I have the same question- @Rehabvaluator what would you update about this video to educate new investors how to navigate this new “higher for longer” interest rate environment?

I own a doublewide with 1 acre of land and i am allowed 2 dwellings. I just had a meeting with a builder and was told he can build me two duplexes (4 ) doors for $93/ft 1800sqft ea. this video just opened my eyes.

[@RehabValuator]

I am highly skeptical of $93/ft right now in any part of the US. Make sure he's quoting all in. Sometimes builders will exclude sitework, utilities, trim out fixtures, appliances, etc. I doubt anyone can build a decent product right now all in for $93/ft. I recorded the video you're watching before the COVID spike in prices. Prior to 2020 I could build for $90/ft. Now my duplexes are more around $130. If I skimped on finishes I could probably get into the $115-$120 range

Hey I love the detailed breakdown. I’m curious what your numbers are for cost to build 3 years later now that it’s 2023? $90/ft sounds like dreamland. Here in Michigan I’d say it’s closer to $250-$300/ft.

[@RehabValuator]

Woa! $250-$300/ft seems really high esp in Michigan! The same duplexes that used to cost me $90/ft now in 2nd half of 2023 cost around $130-$135 to build. But rents are also 30-35% higher so numbers are similar. What's changed though is cost of $$. Interest rates are twice as high. But these deals still work great if you can get the cost of land down

[@joshhaddad2454]

Would love to see an update video on your process and what’s been working/not working for you according to your original plan!

Hi Josh. Actually wrapping this project up right now. 4 units already moved in. The remaining 4 are moving in next week. Turned out amazing. Just had professional pics done. I'll try to record a case study of how the finishes and the final #s turned out. Costs ran higher but so did the rents (rents came in much higher actually)

[@joshhaddad2454]

Thanks for the quick response! I’ve heard to estimate costs 25% more than you expect. I’m glad your rents came in higher! I normally use super conservative numbers whenever I crunch my numbers. I’m 23 and am buying my first 3 unit property which should hopefully close in the next 2 months. Very excited to get into the real estate game! Would love to see an update with actual numbers whenever you get around to it. Great work

[@getinthespace7715]

I'm buying property to build myself a home this next year using cash. I would like to use cash to build single family rentals. In the market I'm in short term rentals can pull in $50k a season, long term can pull in $25k annual. I evaluated using cash vs the debt refinancing model. Makes way more sense to use cash. I could generate more cash flow with 4 properties using cash with zero risk than 40 properties financing them with the bank taking a huge cut and much higher risk.

Thanks, Daniel. Each duplex is on a separately deeded lot with it's own address. 2 separate building permits. It looks like a quad from the outside and basically it is. But because it's 2 separate lots, we can build them cheaper and they're more liquid. I can sell each duplex to separate buyers if I want or I can sell the quad

SOW/Subs - it is typically done by trade, i.e. the electrician/plumber/hvac will have a rough-in bid and then a finish bid. If you want to keep costs down, do your own shopping and have fixtures/materials on-site. Same for drywall, etc, etc.

[@joselima5842]

Calling Rehab Valuator a "calculator" is like calling a Tesla a cupholder :) Also pretty insulting. And no there's not a one time price. It's a cloud based software that we have to host, update, support on an ongoing basis. So we charge monthly or annually just like any other cloud based software.

[@ronwhite7089]

Loved the video. One thing I’d like to mention is that you aren’t estimating the value of the land. You are estimating it’s maximum price based on methods of selling property. There is a little bit of a difference but what you are regarding to apply a perfectly to real estate.

[@RehabValuator]

Ron. Thanks for your feedback! I think that's the beauty of land, in that it's value can be perceived completely differently by different people depending on intended use. So to me it may be worth 2x what the other guy is willing to pay. But I would also say that "value" and max price that I can get in the market for it are one and the same.

I LOVE how simple this is gonna make my first big deal! Definitely going to purchase 🙏 I have a question; You say the first step is getting the land under contract but the PERFECT land for me right now (that I'm going to build duplexes on) is owned by the govt and comes with a few other lots on the block AND a cheap cringy house. They want to see that I've got plans/funds for the project. In this case, I have to use a fha 203k to get the house in order before I can start plopping down duplexes. My biggest concern is that I'll arouse interest in this pretty vacant block while securing the funds. What should my steps be in this case?

Any way to get the entire thing under contract? What about getting a first right of refusal from the gov't? Your argument in either case can be that you want to keep a cohesive design for this block. You plan to bring a great product to market and want to make sure that the rest of the block gets developed in a similar, high quality fashion. Other ideas are to find $ partners now and take down the rest of the lots.
