I can only imagine the tenants face inside when you started talking about raising rent LOL

Good idea, but it doesn't always work. I just found some legit plumbing and electrical issues after an inspection. Probably 10K worth of work. Asked for a measly $1,000 off to close the deal. Was totally a no go. Still closing, since it was a good price. But it was worth a shot. I'd try it again in the future. Also, only $200 for a professional inspection?? I pay $350 and that's dirt cheap. Going rate is about $550.

Thanks Chandler, that was pretty good.

This is an amazing video thank you

Great video. What is ur potential net profit each month on this deal? I’m assuming around $800/month?

you should get a wall inlet checker to make sure all your plugs work

Curious, you said it should have instant hot water, do most of the duplex, triplex, and so on and so forth have hot water loops in them to have the hot water come out faster for them?

You are more ballsy then me haha. But that's why you have a bunch of properties and I'm still being patient trying to pull the trigger on my first one. $355k on rents you will have to raise seems risky but you are the man and I will trust your judgement on it. Is there concern for you knowing you most likely will have to fill 4 units? I think this is why I will stick to SFH's and Duplexes as the purchase prices are smaller and less doors to fill. Thanks again for another great video my man!

Great content! Subscribed. Your numbers seem so tight to me but I am in a cash flowing market. I think it would be interesting to see you "whiteboard" the numbers on this deal. Are you looking to more or less break even in the near term and hope for the best down the line? At $850/unit your effective gross income is $3,230 and debt servicing with a conventional 30 yr 80%LTV underwritten loan at 4.5% for the principle of $520k is $2,635/month. That would mean your cash flow and expenses are only $595/month and you are putting $130k DP plus closing costs. In other videos you state that you use property management which is often 5%-10% of rent. Other significant expenses like taxes, insurance, repairs, etc.... I guess my question is how does this make sense to you? I only ask because I would love to find out what I am missing. Do you factor in principle paydown and tax benefits? Is you looking for more of an appreciation play? Again, great content and thanks for posting!

Syracuse1123 check out my other videos where I do the numbers more in detail. Numbers were slim on this one with how rents were when I bought it but obviously we are upping them. Within a couple months this will bring in over a 10% cash on cash return. Your numbers might be off because my interest-rate was lower than what you said and taxes and expenses are very low because of the number of properties that I have. Even with that though this deal still end up being good for anyone. 10% cash on cash return isn’t incredible but it’s what I’m happy with and this market has a strong appreciation every year

So you ended up getting the 4plex for 360K with all 4 units (hopefully) coming in at 800$ or more each after you're able to raise them? Just working out the numbers, 3200$ gross rental income on a 360K property sounds pretty good.

Top Secret Bear when you write up an agreement you have the right to make your offer dependent on an inspection. I had never been inside this property. I came in with a very aggressive offer. Why on earth would I hold to my original offer when I haven’t seen the property and the agreement allows me to ask for them to lower the price because of what I saw in the property? Finally, they have the right to tell me they don’t want to sell it to me and put it back on market for someone else to buy. That’s part of the agreement as well. They chose not to because the things I found warranted them lowering the price. You do have principles, but one based on incorrect information they are bad principles
