Love the case study video Kirby. Curious how long the rehab took? Did you use a contractor you already knew? How much time & effort did you have to put into the property for the rehab?

Thanks buddy! It took about 5 months from start to finish, since on a project this size you have to stack the different trades behind each other, and can’t have everyone working at once. Yes, we have a great crew with a head GC that’s done lots of projects for me at this point, so my first physical involvement was pretty minimal just because we are so synched at this point. I wouldn’t ever recommend a rehab if this size for a first deal to anyone, but these numbers can still be achieved on properties requiring less rehab.😃👍

@@wisdomandlove1661 yep no problem. As soon as I saw it was listed on the realtor.com, I called the listing agent directly and had her represent me as the buyer and also represent the seller, and negotiated the deal directly through her.

Curious what the listing said about the tenants? Did it indicate that seller was willing to terminate the leases before closing? Or did it take some negotiating? I find that unless a property was just rehabbed, it’s hard to find them without leases in place and tenants that need to be inherited.

Great question! Two of them were month to month, and the owner offered a moving fee to help the third find a new place to move to and break her lease. They all knew that the building was in terrible disrepair and they were better off finding a better place somewhere else.👍

Great question! In the beginning we just used Airbnb itself. I think that’s the best thing to use until you have a handful of properties, then we used iGMS and it was ok, but had a lot of technical glitches. We recently moved to OwnerRez which is super comprehensive and we like it a lot, but it definitely takes some time to get used to.
