Got a good deal under way. An old nursing home that has been vacant for 15 years. No longer able to be used as a nursing home due to zoning. Only allows it to be used as a SFH. I'm going to make it a SFH and rent out the rooms. 7000 SF, 1 acre, $70,000 purchase price, $140,000 reno cost. $15,000 monthly gross, $13,000 net. 18 months ROI

absolutely thanks for watching Gia!

[@LadyBella881]

This seems like a great concept. The only piece I’m still trying to wrap my head around is if someone is doing the BRRR method. After renovating & converting the house to all these rooms wouldn’t someone have a hard time finding comps for a refinance?

[@JesseVasquezAirVenture]

Comps are all over, use airdna, furnished finder

[@victoriakreative]

Close, refi then add walls. Even converting garages for additional rooms (legally) convert garage before putting up walls inside due to inspectors needed to enter property first.

[@robneundorf]

​ @EllisFromPadSplit How are you getting around the zoning laws as these are legally considered Boarding houses which are considered commercial zoned since there is more than 3 unrelated individuals living under one roof?

[@sunshinemornin]

I cannot believe I just finished watching this. I started watching the video (and stopped after 2 minutes) when it was uploaded and by the time I started my midterm rental. This is the strategy I am doing right now, only smaller, 3 beds 3 baths. i think at this point I’ll just observe and learn how Padsplit do it and apply it to a smaller space. It’s interesting that it seems like room renters, esp locals, think that landlords running a place like this are greedy, it is a business strategy! it is sometimes disappointing that after you put an effort to make a comfortable place to stay and price it reasonably, all they can see is a greedy person behind it. and i am directly talking about the locals who wish to save money by living in a roomshare. So as much as possible avoid local renters in a C neighborhood, 9/10 it’s not gonna work for them. There are people from out of state who are comfortable living in a C neighborhood, save your space for them.

I've been checking the demand in Atlanta on Airbnb and it's low. Many host calenders have alot of vacancies especially if the unit is a shared bath unit.

[@RM-om2eq]

I do Padsplit and it’s a pain in the ass. A lot of turn overs. We’re pushing 5 months and Padsplit takes a 10 day cut. Well aloe of tenants are out before then or leave with a giant balance. One lady got her thing up to 800 before just disappearing not a word. Padsplit of course won’t do anything. Also there screening sucks. Had a nightmare possible eviction scenario with mentally ill person. Horrible job screening tenants. Good news is Padsplit is the only option with this property as it’s a class D neighborhood. I can’t expect too much as the tenants who are willing to stay there won’t be the best. Still I wish Padsplit wouldn’t allow for just anyone to book. Especially people who don’t have a job to book. That’s ridiculous. Or at-least make the background check available to us.

I have a question. How does padsplit stop gang members (MS13) from renting rooms, or other activities--renting a room and then dealing out of it? Where I live in Maryland there is a huge gang problem which the counties do not want the public to know about, and these are the issues that occur to people renting out rooms on their own.

[@EllisFromPadSplit]

The good thing about our model is that if any member is violating the membership guidelines (very similar to that of a traditional lease's rules), the other members in the home will reach out to our team to investigate and resolve. All PadSplit members are incentivized to abide by the guidelines to be able to maintain a comfortable, drama-free, and safe living experience.

[@JesseVasquezAirVenture]

Do they operate in southern cali?

[@JesseVasquezAirVenture]

Hey, what’s up man! Thanks for connecting, the house needs to be split up with at least five rooms. If the renter damages the property, it is the guests that will pay. They are actually going to release some information and are coming to California this month. There is a huge need for affordable housing here.

So they are basically signing a non-depository agreement tenants aka borrowers and paying the landlords upfront and collecting their money plus interest (APR) on the back end. Nice! So they are probably using corelogic credco to screen these pre qualified renters aka borrowers before getting these “members” onboard, now if get tricky with their business structure because they are calling them members and not tenants. Is this a cooperative business model. Question is what business structure allows its members to borrow money from the company and paying them back through a portion of their paycheck?
