My plan moving forward in 2024 is buying at the right price, will not buy any lemons or houses with tenants inside or staying post close. I will Focus on flips that could be done within 3-6 months. Also, I will never buy sight unseen ever again. Good luck friends!

Why not houses with tenants inside or staying post close? Any specific reason?

@@TheEthanHunt when you flip a house, you will quickly realize that you’ll need to move through your process as quickly as humanly possible and that you will have enough problems to solve as is. With that being said, you’ll want to mitigate other problems as much as you can. Buying a property with tenants could be very costly and even worse, can prolong the amount of time into the equation. Flips should be “In and out” and tenants can make that impossible.

Question: I bought my first rent house in early January. The house is nearly ready to rent, but I went over budget by a good 8k. The 8k is pretty much all on credit cards. What is the best way to consolidate those credit cards at a lower interest. HELOC?

Great video. Lots of great insights!

Thank you James! This was an excellent video. Very informative! 🎉

Drainage can be a deal killer for sure!

Im curious about how to evaluate the deal if there is a "deal breaker" like a busy road or other multi family houses around it (meaning theirs tenants for neighbors and not homeowners).. would you walk away or would you reduce your offer price? How do you factor those things in, if at all?

Great video! So you like to use $90-100/sqft for full renovations. For cheaper and less intensive projects, do you have any other rules of thumb like that for estimating the rehab cost? As a new flipper just trying to get my feet wet, I've considered just using a full renovation estimate in analyzing my first few deals to cover my butt, but I'm afraid that level of conservatism will seriously delay my entry into the business...

Just proves James is a Boss. If he’s getting that kind of return with flipping in this market 🤩

Happy to connect about construction loans!

Such a great vid on how to do flips in today’s market! I wasn’t quite clear on the financing with the hard money lender. He said purchase price = $780k + $200k rehab = $800k loan balance. He needs to put 15%-20% down. Is the 20% down on the loan balance? How much of his own cash is he using and how much is the hard money lender financing??

How much do you factor in per sqft, for rehab? $200 a sq ft??

Hello! Can anyone recommend a course to learn new information about property management and facilities management?

Bigger pockets has a great book on property rental management. Check it out ! I have it and it’s great. (Not sponsored 😂)

I like James, but ever time he says Performa instead of Proforma it drives me a little crazy. It's PROforma. Crazy that he's been an investor for this long and still doesn't know that. I've only flipped about 30 properties over the past three years and own some rental properties, and even I know it's PROforma.

No finding a reputable and communicative GC is the most important part. I make sure to communicate clearly and redundantly with all my clients. It comes down to your relationship with your GC. If you're in the Seattle area I offer free consultations.

When he said a 50% return over 6 months, he means a 50% return on his approx 200K down payment on the loan for the entire project correct?
