Great video quality and content!!👏🏾👏🏾

[@Raf.Velasco]

Thank you bro 🙏🏼

[@martinsimonea4228]

Great video, great edits, and great content and actually realistic with the numbers!

[@Raf.Velasco]

Thanks! 😎…. I try to be as transparent as possible & give the REAL #’s of what I actually take home. I’ve seen a few videos that tell you what they gross, but are not transparent about their expenses & what they Actually profit. I like to be blunt so you can decide if its something that might work for you 👍🏼

Great video you did a great job breaking in down. I live near Reagan nation(dc) so is something I look forward to doing this year

[@jdhill9]

Love the video! Great that you put $0 down. Sounds like you got a killer APR as well. If you count depreciation and debt paydown as a wash (though in reality debt paydown should be a little higher, and depreciation helps with tax liability, so it should actually work in your favor), I'd be happy to use your numbers except that 4 months of car payments, per your comment above, is typically going to run you $3,944. That brings your profit down to $2,686. Without the profit on that damage, the profit would have been $1,027 for 2 cars for 4 months. Not sure how much time you put into it, but let's say it's 5hrs/car/month. That's 40 hours for 2 cars for 4 months. Maybe higher depending on how much time you put into the car claim, getting quotes, getting it fixed, etc. Not counting the accident, that's $25.68/hr. Couting the accident, it's $67.15/hr. Have you experienced any seasonality with your cars? Do they rent at higher rates or higher occupancy at certain times of year? Very helpful, I appreciate the transparency!

Does gap insurance cover your vehicle is your using it for commercial purposes?

Turo doesn’t allow you to drive the guests in your car or accept rides from them. They will cancel your account if they find out.

[@austinbruhn7683]

How did you only do liability insurance when the cars are financed?

[@Raf.Velasco]

Not sure 🤷🏻‍♂️ I have an Audi S4 thats already paid off, but when it was financed I also had liability only, i have a Prius thats already paid off too & that one also had only liability when it was financed. I had them with National General (not to be confused with General Insurance), so maybe they don’t care lol 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would log on Turo as a guest, search your vehicle & filter in your city, make/model… that way you get an idea of what kind of price your vehicle can rent out first based on your market, cus prices will vary based on market

[@ericcuerdeandrade8377]

[@irmetov]

You forgot to include car depreciation in your calculations.

[@Raf.Velasco]

Car depreciation hasn’t really cost me anything as I have NOT invested a single penny out of my own pocket in this business… & I didn’t also mention how im going to be able to write off that depreciation on my taxes 👍🏼

[@the_real_greywolf]

You spend way too much on car washes. Some places offer unlimited monthly washes for $20 per month. The more you save, the more you make...

[@Raf.Velasco]

My local car wash has $20/month but its only for 1 car (not multiple cars). Even if i had that I would’ve paid the same. $20/month per car 2 cars 4 months @ $40/month = $160 (exactly what i spent) 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@randomusers5]

for my understanding, its only 200$ per month if the accident didn't hap

[@ievgeniireint6561]

It’s more like 375 plus you are getting your car paid off. The only thing is $40 insurance on a financed car, I dont know about that

[@amieerothrock1839]

Turo worst customer what they call service ever. I have 2 cars rented out and now no way to track them. This has been going on for 5 days. If I can't get it resolved by tomorrow I'll have to report them stolen and contact legal. Run!

How are you able to have only liability insurance on a finance car?

Depends on your Lender… although most lenders require you to have Full Coverage on financed/Leased vehicles, Not all lenders do.

[@ThanhTLam1]

did you just admit to insurance fraud lol jk

[@FTATF]

That's how insurance companies choose to do business. They don't have to pay out based in a quote. You are allowed to shop around.

[@rsylvester829]

Lol

[@LuisVenturess]

You forgot to include depreciation….. buying a new car is not smart financial advice at. Unless you’re buying a car like a civic type r. You will lose thousands on depreciation the first 3 years of owning the car. It would have been a better idea to buy your first 2 cash. They would have made the same amount as the 2 plus all profit with no depreciation.

[@Raf.Velasco]

I wanted to start a Turo business with ZERO $ out of my own pocket (which i did)… Although they do depreciate, I can write off the depreciation of my vehicles in my taxes to help offset taxable income (Big perk) 14 months into my Turo business, I have yet to put one single penny out of my own personal money to cover any car payment, insurance, or maintenance on these vehicles. The money they generate on Turo has paid for it all and also has provided me with monthly cash flow. And even with depreciation, as I type this today, both vehicles are worth more than what I currently owe on the loans. so if I were to sell both cars today, I would actually make a few grand off of a business I started with no money out of my personal pockets. That to me sounds like a win 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@Raf.Velasco exactly 💯 good shit bro

3k in car payments??? for 2 honda civics?

[@Raf.Velasco]

$500 car payment per car, ($493 to be exact) on a $29K loan (each) & having financed both w/ $0 down… ZERO DOWN!…Is actually pretty good in today’s standard.

[@kevinsue1778]

yea that sounds more like what i expected the video showed "$3000 - CAR PAYMENTS" kinda confusing @@Raf.Velasco

[@DaltonCollinson]

​@@kevinsue1778real slow here, the first month he didn't make any payments. That's three months of payments at $500/each. Or $3k in the total 4 months in payments on the cars

[@rimrich]

Also, in a few months, you will have a payoff car (it pays off itself )

[@Raf.Velasco]

Exactly!… 9 months in & I have Yet to put a single penny out of My own personal money into this business. Both vehicles have been paying for themselves, I have cash flowed every single month, & even if i were to sell both cars today, i would get more than what I owe on them (i already checked out of curiosity lol)… Carvana offered me more than my balance owed. 😊

[@user-ct4vp5tr5m]

That’s terrible roi, you spent 80k to make 1k a month 15% roi with no money deducted for depreciation… after depreciation you’ll be looking at around 10%. Might as well invest in snp 500

[@Raf.Velasco]

Who said I spent 80k?… not sure where you got that number from🤔 BUT I have spent $0.. ZERO Dollars.. out of My own pocket. I agreed to finance the vehicles at 29k each… i put ZERO money down… till this day (9 months in) I have Yet to put a single penny out of my own personal money into this business. The cars not only pay for themselves, but there has NOT been a single month where I didn’t cashflow. If i were to sell my cars today, according to KBB & the carvana offer i got (i wamtes to see out of curiosity how much they’d give me… I would sell both cars Today for more money than I owe.. so I would make a profit if I sold them today…. Not only that, but I’m not sure if you are aware that I was able to write off the depreciation of my vehicles because they are used for business purpose Only. So tell me again, how this was a bad investment?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@user-ct4vp5tr5m]

Ops, 60k. Yes you have it for zero down but what’s ur apr? And you’re getting away with only liability insurance what if it gets wrecked? You’d be on the hook and be in debt!

[@Raf.Velasco]

My APR is 6% (which is really low by today’s market standards)… and I don’t need anything more than liability because I’m not driving these vehicles for personal use. TURO provides full coverage insurance while the car is out with the guest… recently one of my cars got rear ended, and not only did Turo Pay for the entire damage expenses, but I kept over $2k of additional insurance claims money for myself. If either one of my cars were to get totaled by a Guest today, my insurance payout would be higher than what I currently owe on the loans. So I would actually profit off of a total loss today.

[@ronmaren4135]

This video is so misleading. You actually made $2k profit from a repair and showing it as a regular income. You actually made $1600 profit, $800 each car, makes $200 per car per month. You spent $36k for that car, which means you have to rent out your car for 15 years to get your money back for the car. after 15 years that car will worth nothing.. So you will end up working for Turo for 15 years for nothing.. Wake up..

[@Jonathan11225]

well the cars are paying for themself.... in 5-6 years when the cars a paid off its gonna be all profit
