How to Find 0% Interest and Instant Cash Flow Deals in 2023

David:
This is the BiggerPockets podcast show, 790.

Victor:
So we drafted that offer, we offered 0% interest on a seven-year term. So basically like a car loan, right? And they went for it. So we’re at $6,500 a month with the balloon of the balance due in seven years, so they’ll end up owing about $40,000 at the end of that term, but it’s a phenomenal, phenomenal deal. And that thing is pulling in gross income of about $8,000 a month. So they’re going to let the tenants pay it off, and from there, they’ll have a free and clear asset in a great market that’s going to be a good value play for them to help fund their retirement.

David:
What’s going on everyone? It’s David Greene, your host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast here today with my co-host, Rob Abasolo, looking stunning and fabulous as ever. Rob, have you been working out? You look incredible.

Rob:
Oh, stop. You know I have. You know I have, and thank you for noticing. I appreciate that.

David:
My pleasure. And speaking of noticing, we noticed three real estate agents in the country that are crushing it for their clients, and we brought them back on the show today to talk about what they’re doing to find deals in today’s market where it can be very tough, but apparently it’s still possible. What do you think people should listen for in today’s episode to help them with their own journey?

Rob:
I think they should be listening for the creative solutions that exist in every single deal. And what I really, really, really love was the final one that we ended on. I knew you could tell, my wheels were turning there. I was like, “All right, which one of my properties can I convert into this amazing real estate model?” And yeah, I think a lot of people will get value out of just going out sometimes, trusting your knowledge, taking a bet, and maybe pursuing a model within real estate that they aren’t super familiar with.

David:
Yeah, I agree. A lot of the times when people share a deal, they just give you this overhead view, “Oh yeah, we bought it. We paid this price. This is the plan.” You don’t get a story that you feel like you could go replicate. Today’s guests actually give specifics on exactly how they negotiated it, how they found it, and what the plan was for the property. So you leave knowing, “Oh, I could go do that.” So you guys are going to really like today’s show, and make sure you listen all the way to the very end, because we talk about why some people are passing up on deals. We talked about a six-figure flip that Kim’s entire database skipped on, and then this investor bought it and made over a $100,000 on one property, and what they missed, so you don’t make the same mistake.
Before we get to today’s show, today’s quick tip. BiggerPockets has a feature called the AgentFinder that you can use to find an investor-friendly agent, like myself, in your area, because I can’t be cloned and there’s only one of me, but there are many agents out there that can help you with your deal. Check out biggerpockets.com/agentfinder to find an agent in the market that you want to invest in. Also, two of today’s guest, Kim and Victor joined us for an insider tips on their markets in episode 766. So go check out that episode if you like what you hear today. Rob, you ready to do this?

Rob:
Let’s jump into it.

David:
All right, welcome all back to the BiggerPockets podcast. The last episode went so well that we decided to do another episode where we are analyzing deals in specific markets that the BiggerPockets audience has been looking to buy. So in today’s show, we’re going to be diving into different opportunities in different markets. Matt, I believe this is your first time joining us, so welcome. Nice to see you here. Let’s start with you. My understanding is you’ve got 12 rentals yourself. You’re a property management company and brokerage, and you’ve been investing in Atlanta since 2010. First question for you, when you introduce yourself, do you find yourself saying, “Welcome to Atlanta,” like Ludacris to every single person that you meet?

Matt:
No. No, I don’t. But I do appreciate being here, David, and happy to be on the show.

David:
Yeah, there’s certain cities that have a song associated with them in my head. Like Rob’s from LA, right? So every time I think of Rob and LA, I think of Kendrick Lamar, The Recipe, it just starts playing in my head. And Atlanta definitely has Welcome to Atlanta, so now everybody else who’s my age is going to start hearing that in their head. You’re welcome for the earworm that you’re going to need to have surgically removed going forward. And we have Kim Meredith-Hampton from Tampa Bay, Florida, another exploding area. Kim Meredith-Hampton is in a co-working space. She’s got two commercial properties, 10 units, and 50 units of short-term rentals. She’s in property management, both long-term rentals and short-terms. Kim, welcome to the show. Did I missed anything?

Kim:
Nope, that’s it.

David:
All right. And then we have Victor Steffen, who is an investor, has been in Dallas-Fort Worth for seven years, has 48 doors across three states: Pennsylvania, New York, and Texas. He does rent by the room, long-term rentals, and others. Victor, welcome to the show that I missed anything there?

Victor:
You got it, thanks for having us again.

David:
Yeah, I don’t know that there’s a Dallas-Fort Worth song that comes to mind. We’re going to have to work on that. Is there a theme song for that area that I don’t know about?

Victor:
Yeah, just George Strait. Put that in a big old bucket and that’ll cover it.

David:
I literally was thinking George Strait, but I couldn’t think of a song he sings. Is he from there or is it just… That’s what people listen to?

Victor:
Well, he’s from Texas. He’s a Texan. He’s a good old Texan boy.

David:
It’s crazy that you read my mind. I was thinking George Strait, but I couldn’t think of a specific song.

Rob:
There’s a song called Dallas Days-

David:
Amarillo by Morning.

Rob:
Dallas Days and Fort Worth Nights by our good friend, Chris LeDoux?

Victor:
Chris LeDoux.

Rob:
Chris LeDoux, there we go.

Victor:
Perfect.

David:
Rob just had to Google that. He knows no music outside of John Mayer at all, he has to pretend.

Rob:
Well, I was going to say, when you said that you think of that song for me with LA, I was hoping you would say California Gurls by Katy Perry, because that’s our song, but that’s okay.

David:
That makes me think of you.

Rob:
Yeah. Yeah… That’s good.

David:
Yeah, if this podcast ever doesn’t work out, that’s what Rob and I’s next podcast is going to be named. California Gurls with Rob and Dave. That’s good. All right, well, welcome everybody to the show. We are going to talk some real estate, but before we get into these deals, let’s get to know a little about the Atlanta market. Matt, we’re going to start with you. What are the long-term benefits to your market?

Matt:
Yeah, Atlanta’s a great market overall. Very diverse economy, a lot of different employers here, a lot of employers coming to Atlanta. As you know, the general population, or a lot of people are moving to the Southeast in general, Atlanta’s just a big hub for that. So we’re seeing a ton of population increase, a lot so in suburbs as well. So not just the city of Atlanta, but you’re basically seeing outward growth in every direction. So all of the suburbs are growing, even the ones that are a little bit further out, where they’ve been typically a little bit more rural and raw land, you’re seeing a lot of new development there. There’s a lot of new construction about an hour outside of Atlanta, just because everyone’s growing outward for affordability reasons.

Rob:
Matt, what is the big economic engine for your area specifically? I know that Atlanta’s a big hub for many things, one of them being the movie scene, but are there a lot of reasons why that economy is booming at the moment?

Matt:
So the movie scene definitely has been huge. A lot of new films here, thanks to the Georgia tax credits. Films, TV shows, everything’s getting filmed here, just because it’s very business-friendly for them to do that, but it’s also business-friendly in general. So a lot of businesses that are already established, they’re Fortune 500 companies, they’re moving their headquarters here or expanding here, and basically coming here because Georgia is a business-friendly state. And it’s not one specific industry, so it’s not segmented to one thing. We’re seeing tech expansion, movie expansion, and everything in between.

David:
That’s right. And I will say, even though no one asked me, I could co-sign all three of these markets. I am bullish on all of them, I think that they’re good places for investors to buy. We have a lot of the one brokerage clients that are getting pre-approved and looking for investment properties in Georgia, not necessarily Atlanta, but the surrounding market around there. I think that is a good long-term market, and I have bought myself in some of the vacation area rental properties, where people in Atlanta would go if they wanted to stay at a cabin, so the mountains up that way. So I like that market myself, and Rob, you brought up a great point. Hollywood is literally moving into Atlanta. If anyone visits there, just talk to your Uber drivers. They will tell you who’s coming into town, what’s going on, and they’re constantly shuttling around movie stars. Matt, did you grow up in that area?

Matt:
So I’ve been here for about 16 years, but I’m originally from California, so happy to call Georgia home and love living here.

David:
You’re originally from California?

Matt:
Yep.

David:
When did you pick up that accent?

Matt:
It does grow on you pretty quick.

David:
It sure does.

Matt:
I think I started saying y’all about after a year, so it was pretty quick.

David:
It’s embarrassing to admit it, but I could be on the phone with a contractor from Jacksonville or Southern Florida, and after two weeks of talking to them, a drawl will start to crawl into my mouth. It’s contagious.

Matt:
It is contagious.

David:
Okay, it’s not just me. You’re making me feel a little bit better.

Matt:
It is a whole lot easier to say y’all, though.

Rob:
Hey, listen, Matt, it’s nice to have a fellow California girl on the pod. Welcome.

David:
All right. And do you have any data on the current shifts in your market?

Matt:
Yep. So right now we’re at 2.1 months of inventory, which is still a seller’s market. Just for a reminder for newer folks, six months is typically a balanced market, so we’re still on a seller’s market currently. We are seeing an increase in inventory, but it’s not dramatic, we’re seeing about 25% more inventory than we saw last year. But the weird phenomenon that we’re seeing here in this market, we’re also seeing in a few other markets, is the number of new listings over here is actually down. So while we have more inventory overall, the number of new listings that are coming to market is actually less than it was last year. So basically what’s happening is listings that come to market and they’re priced correctly, those are moving very quickly. But listings that are coming to market and they’re priced too high, or maybe they need too many repairs, those are sitting a little bit longer, and those can be an excellent opportunity to submit an offer.

David:
I like it. Rob, we need to go buy in Atlanta, this is prime hunting ground for me. So if I hear you right, Matt, what you’re saying is that less listings are coming on the market, but there has been a 25% increase in listings overall, because the stuff that comes on that’s priced appropriately and in good conditions sells quickly, and there’s not a lot of it. But you got a lot of stale product, you got a lot of donuts that have been sitting around for a couple weeks, and no one’s buying them.

Matt:
Exactly. And then they’re tarnished and then nobody wants them because everyone’s used to listings moving very quick. Right now, our average days in market is 12, so if someone sees something on the market for 30, 40 days, they’re like, “Oh, well, there’s something wrong with that.” So the average retail buyer is passing up on that, but it can be a great opportunity for an investor.

David:
I love that stuff. I mean, that’s what creates opportunity, right? As a real estate agent, you’re like, “Okay, you got a bifurcation here.” You have the hot stuff that hits the market that everyone sees on Zillow, and you got eight buyers for every property. But the opportunities in the stuff that’s been sitting there for a long time, I always look for high days on market and most of my books, I write about this as the strategy that you need to be looking at in tough markets. Rob snagged our deal by doing just that. We found a property that had been sitting on the market for a really long time, but it was gorgeous. However, it had an issue where it was very tough to buy because it was five acres of land and lenders didn’t want to lend on it, so it just got passed up, and then no one’s looking at it. And the owners of the home are like, “How come no one wants my house? No one wants to take me to prom.”
And you can show up with a math geek offer to take out that homecoming queen listing that normally would be waiting for a high school quarterback offer that we don’t want to make. I don’t know how well that analogy works, but I like what you’re saying, Matt, and I like your realtor approach here. Because if you’re a buyer looking to buy in that area, that’s the playground you want to be playing in, is these listings that have gone stale that you can write aggressive offers on, right?

Matt:
Exactly.

David:
What’s your advice for people who are chasing these properties that have been on the market for 40, 50, 60, maybe 90 days? Is there an approach that you recommend buyers take when writing offers on these?

Matt:
That’s an excellent question. So what I would tell everyone is you really need to get familiar with the market. So I could present a deal to you and tell you it’s great, but you really don’t know if it’s a great deal deal unless you know the market. So if you are considering Atlanta or any market, I would spend some time and underwrite a couple deals, look at a few deals, and get really familiar with the market as a whole. And then that way, when you do approach one of these listings that’s been sitting for a while and you know it’s overpriced, or maybe it was overpriced originally and they’ve cut the price because it’s been on the market for a while, but they may still be too high, you know, “Hey, I should go on at this number.” Or you have a general idea of what it should trade for and where you need to be with that offer.

Rob:
So tell us about the strategy that people are finding most successful in this market. Because it sounds like there are a lot of properties out there that are in need of work. Is it a market where you’re going out and doing full on rehabs? Or is it a market that you’re going in and cleaning up the listing a little bit, and doing more of a quick cosmetic flip? A wholetail, if you will?

Matt:
Yeah. Yeah, great question. So right now, we’re not seeing a lot of just simple turnkey, buy and hold, working. A lot of it is basically breakeven or negative cash flow, unfortunately, because rates are higher and prices are still elevated. So the strategy that we are seeing working currently in our market is value add. So it could be, just like you mentioned Rob, something where they go in there and do just cosmetic updates. It could be adding a bathroom, it could be adding a unit, it could be a whole BRRRR strategy if it’s severely distressed. It really just depends on what the property needs. But typically, the deals that are working right now are value add deals.

David:
Can you define what you mean by value add deal?

Matt:
Yeah, so like I said, it could be a three bedroom, one bath property, and the market is used to three bedroom, two baths in that area. So a lot of people we’re working with, they’ll buy that property, add a second bathroom, and that brings it back up to market. So you’ve added value by adding another bathroom. Another deal that we can talk about here in a minute that we did is somebody actually added additional units to a property. So people, they’re able to add additional space, whether it’s square footage, bedrooms, that’s going to add value to the property. So anything like that which will add value, or it could just be a very distressed deal, where the average retail buyer says, “Hey, this property needs way too much work. I’ll come in on a 3% down. I don’t have the money to invest in this property to fix it up. I’m not even going to consider it.”
Whereas an investor who has some capital behind them could purchase that property, fix it up, bring it back to retail standards, and then flip it or hold onto it, put a tenant in there and then recognize the value.

David:
So as you as an agent looking to represent buyers, are you filtering these and then bringing it to your buyers and saying, “Hey, here’s a value add thing,” or are you telling them what to look for, they go look for it, then they bring the deal to you to negotiate?

Matt:
So it’s a little bit of both. So we always try to help buyers clearly define their buy box. So every buyer’s going to be a little bit different in what they’re looking for, we can educate buyers and tell them what’s working, what we’re seeing in the market, and help them define their buy box. And once that’s defined, we can bring listings to them and say, “Hey, this fits your buy box. What questions do you have for us? Or is this something that’s of interest to you?”

Rob:
That’s a really great overview of the Atlanta market. Thank you so much, Matt. Kim, I know you’ve told us about your market previously in the Tampa world. Can you just give us a couple bullet points about what’s happening in Tampa right now, and just an overview of the market?

Kim:
Ours is very similar to Matt’s, almost identical. Anything really under 350,400 is selling like hotcakes, it’s not sitting there at all, those are where your numbers make sense for rentals. Also, anything over that 800 are sitting now, and then also the small multi that need a ton of work, and they have overpriced the property, and those are definitely sitting. And you can make an offer, we do that often, which is a lot lower, but some people still haven’t come into reality yet, that we aren’t at our 20%. And then also our current days on market are about 14, so we still are sitting pretty low on that. Inventory is low, it is slowly creeping up. Our median price points have also went up 5,000 since we last spoke, so we’re now at 410. So it’s really crazy, it’s just doesn’t seem like it’s going back the other way, but we shall see.

Rob:
All right, thanks for taking us through that. Victor, what about you, man? Can you tell us really the… What’s the big selling point for the Dallas-Fort Worth area right now?

Victor:
Population growth, median wage growth, job growth. That’s it.

Rob:
Boom. Easy, I love it. All right. Well, do you have it a deal to walk us through in that market? Because as we understand it, everyone’s going to be walking us through a deal in their respective market. Could you kick us off?

Victor:
Yeah, you got it. So it’s one that I really just had fun doing. Irving, Texas is just the northwest side of Dallas, and it’s one of our favorite markets for a variety of asset types, and also management strategies. Specifically, we like looking for multi-family here, and we like to find stuff that you can do a short or mid-term rental strategy on. Irving is very short-term rental friendly, you don’t have a ton of regulation and hoops that you have to jump through, that you’ve got major medical in close proximity. You’ve got the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport right there, you’ve also got Downtown Dallas, all within close proximity basically surrounding Irving, Texas. So what we found for our client over here was basically a turnkey quadplex that was already ran as a mid-term rental opportunity. It was on the MLS, so it wasn’t like we had to do a lot of off-market banging on doors in order to find it.
And the seller, in the listing description, had that they were looking to retire and spend more time with their grandkids. And when I see that, immediate buzzword is seller-financed, is that going to be an opportunity? So we typically do one, two seller-financed deals per year, this one fit that buy box. We had a perfect buyer for it who had the cash. We submit an offer, and whenever we go ahead and ask our clients like, “All right, if they’re having a trouble figuring out what kind of offer to go ahead and send forward.” We say, “Well, what’s going to make you excited? What’s going to make you say, “This is something that I can really get behind,” and be excited about closing on?” So we drafted that offer, we offered 0% interest on a seven-year term. So basically like a car loan, and they went for it. So we’re at $6,500 a month with the balloon of the balance due in seven years, so they’ll end up owing about $40,000 at the end of that term.
But it’s a phenomenal, phenomenal deal, and that thing is pulling in gross income of about $8,000 a month. So they’re going to let the tenants pay it off, and from there, they’ll have a free and clear asset in a great market that’s going to be a good value play for them to help fund their retirement.

Rob:
Awesome. So tell us really quickly, what was the actual listing price and purchase price of this property?

Victor:
They asked 750, we gave them 750 because they gave us our terms.

Rob:
Wow. Yeah, okay. Great, great, great. So yeah, I guess, if they’re giving you your terms, then yeah, the listing price really isn’t quite scary. And so the investor strategy walking into this was you already knew that it was functioning as a mid-term rental, or was that just your plan to convert it into a mid-term rental?

Victor:
It was already fully functioning, mid and short-term rental property, fully furnished, all furnishings conveyed. So a real rockstar deal. Also, a piece of this that’s important is I know that that client’s goal… Because whenever we do our introductory calls with our clients, it’s going to be, “What’s the perfect deal for you? What’s the long-term strategy?” And for them, their long-term strategy was, “Hey, I want to find a mid and short-term rental portfolio, get up to 25 doors, that’s going to allow me to quit my high paying W2 anesthesiologist,” and this one fit that mold perfectly. They’re going to have almost zero cash flow on it for the next seven years, but at the end of that seven-year term, it’s owned free and clear, and cash flowing aggressively.

Rob:
Yeah, so is it actually amortized over the seven years?

Victor:
Yep, exactly right.

Rob:
Oh, okay, okay. So what is that monthly payment looking like? Because you also mentioned that it is bringing in $8,000 in gross rents. Did you say what the actual monthly note was?

Victor:
6,500.

Rob:
6,500. Okay, all right. So you actually pull some cashflow from that, that’s amazing.

Victor:
Well, a little bit. It covers its debt.

Rob:
Okay, okay.

Victor:
If you wanted to go ahead and reamortize that thing, and stretch it out over 30 years, of course you could cashflow at that point in time, but they’re not interested in cashflow right now. They’re interested in owning this free and clear, and having a property that really just generates consistent monthly income in seven years from now, not today.

Rob:
Sure, sure. And I’m sure the tax benefits really make this one quite the home run.

Victor:
Exactly. Especially for that seller and what she’s looking to do. She has a couple grandbabies, go do your thing, and don’t clean these things anymore like you were doing. So it’ll be a great deal for her, she gets a consistent 6,500 a month, doesn’t have to clean a bunch of short-term rental units.

Rob:
Amazing. Awesome. Okay, well that’s a very strong one to start with. So Matt, I hope you’ve got one that can top that. If not, you’ll be booted off the pod. No, I’m just kidding. All right, Matt. So Matt, take us through your deal next. Name of the deal, tell us the market that it’s in, I think we can probably guess that it’s probably in Atlanta, and then tell us the listing price and the purchase price.

Matt:
Yep. Yeah, so the name of this deal is Cross Brook. The listing price was 750,000 on it, we were able to negotiate a deal at 735. This is not a finance deal as well, which is rare for us. We do one or two seller-financed deals a year, similar to Victor. But when we could do them, they’re fantastic, but definitely not typical for our market, it just depends on the deal. We were able to do that on this deal because this is a very unique deal, where it was a single-family house and a duplex on two separate lots, but they were neighboring each other. And same seller, the seller’s husband, before he’d passed away, actually had built both properties. So she had been occupying the single-family house and she kept the duplex as a rental property. They were severely under rented though, as far as the tenants that were in the duplex, so we were able to get in there. The investor I worked with was able to purchase property for 735, which was the total for all three units.
He was then able to get the rents up in the two units of the duplex, up to market rent. He also took the single-family house and made that a two unit, by converting the basement to a in-law suite, which he rents out separately. And then the duplex actually had a garage, so that it was a raised duplex, and he was able to convert that to a third unit. So now he has five units out of this property that originally had three, so it was a huge value I played for him, he got very favorable terms. The single-family house, since there are two separate parcels, he was able to use a DSCR loan to acquire that one. And then the duplex, we were able to negotiate seller-financed on the reason that he couldn’t get the DSCR loan with it, or I guess he could, but it wouldn’t have been favorable for him, is because they were so severely under rented that the debt service coverage ratio wouldn’t have made sense.
So it made more sense to attempt to negotiate a deal with the seller, and do seller-financed, so that he could get that loan closed, and she could move on, and we could get the deal started and going.

Rob:
Okay. Okay. Great, great, great. And so how did you say you found both of these deals?

Matt:
So this was a non-market deal. So it had been sitting on market for a while at 775, they cut the price to 750, it still continued to sit there, which at that point we offered 735.

Rob:
Awesome. And so when you came in, tell us a little bit about the value that you demonstrated to your client. Aka, how did you help shine up this deal when you walked into it for your client?

Matt:
Yep, so I helped negotiate the seller-financed terms. The client that I was working with is a very experienced investor, but he had never done a seller-financed deal, so I helped structure that. I said, “Hey, let’s make the seller two seller-financed offers, that way she doesn’t… She still has the option to say no, but if we give her two options, her likelihood to say no is less, because she’s going to choose one of those two options.” So we gave her two options for the seller-financed. She chose one that was actually, in my opinion, very favorable for my client, the buyer. And so she ended up accepting that, we were able to move forward, and get the deal closed.

Rob:
Awesome, wow. Wow, that sounds like a really, really good one. David, do you… Any other questions about this deal before we move on to the next one?

David:
Only question is, I’m curious how you worked up the seller financing angle when it was a property that came from the MLS. A lot of the time sellers listing their home on the MLS are not familiar with this and agents are very uncomfortable with it. How did you work that in, and then how did it work? Did you also get a loan on the property and was seller financing second position, or did you just take over the note?

Matt:
Excellent question. So we actually started our 735 offer with a DSCR loan on both parcels, because it was two parcels right next to each other. So we started with DSCR loan, once the lender got ahold of it and they looked at the rents, which again were severely under market, they said, “Hey, in order to get this deal closed, you’re going to have to bring a lot more cash to the table.” And then at that point, the investor and I circled up. We said, “Hey, let’s see if we can offer seller financing and that way we can keep this deal alive.” You can still have cash [inaudible 00:24:56], but not as much cash. And we basically told the seller, “Hey, if you want to close on both properties,” because she didn’t want to sell one without the other, “Let’s do seller financing and get the deal closed.”

David:
So does that mean you took over the note of the seller when you say that?

Matt:
No, so she actually had paid off both properties. So they were both free and clear, so the deal that we worked out was a first position mortgage, five year interest only. And so he’s not paying any principal, he’s just paying interest only for five years. And then there’s a five-year balloon at the end of that term.

David:
Quick tip there. When a property is completely paid off, there are options to do this that do not exist when there’s financing on the property. I should have asked that first, I think I was assuming that there was a note. So did you sniff that out or did your client propose that idea?

Matt:
No, so I actually knew there was no debt because I try to do a little bit of title research when we get in these situations, just to see what options are. So I saw she had no debt. Like I said, her husband actually built both these properties, so he’d actually built the whole neighborhood where this property was at. So I think he was doing pretty well, he built both properties. Unfortunately, he had passed away and left the properties to his wife, and she was ready to go spend some time with the grandkids, so we were able to negotiate the seller financing deal.

David:
Nice. Yeah, I’m bringing that up, because people hear seller financing and they go, “Oh, I’ll just do that every time. I’ll just do seller financing. I don’t want to get a loan for 7.5%, I’ll just take over their loan.” But the stars have to align to have everything pretty perfect. But if you’re aware of it, when the stars align, you don’t just walk right under the stars without thinking about asking. It’s definitely better when you have that option, so good job there.

Matt:
Yeah, that’s why we only do one or two seller-financed deals a year, because the stars really do have to align.

David:
Exactly, that’s a great point. Kim, tell us about your deal.

Kim:
Mine’s at twofer, I’m going to call it a twofer. We actually sold this duplex, and it’s in St. Pete, small multi, basically a two and a three bedroom on each side. We had sold it a couple of years ago and the seller, I guess, put it up for sale themselves. Nothing happened. They reached out to us, and so we actually managed it as well. So we were their first point of contact, which is great, so it’s more off-market. So we got one of the tenants out, we got it fixed up, and we put it on the market for 360, and we had an offer same day. And they actually came back after inspection and said, “This is just too much work for me on the other side. I don’t want to do this, that.” So they canceled that contract. We had one of our… I call him our serial flipper, and we’ve done several deals with him. He came in and offered 300, no contingencies whatsoever. I’ll close in two weeks, let’s get it done, so that’s what the seller accepted.
I guess their daughter was going to college and they needed all the cash, Ivy League or whatever it was. So we sold it to him and during that time, he got the other resident out of the property, and that took them about 30 days because they were month to month, which a great property manager will do that when they put things up for sale, so you can do what you want with the property. And once he got that… Took him about three to four months to get the whole rehab done, and he spent about 125 on it. And after that, we put it up at 545, we had five offers in one day, and we got over ask at… I think it was 556. And I mean, the rest… So he did quite well on that. But yes, we sold it twice, but twofer.

Rob:
Wow. Okay, so you actually helped acquire the initial property. I guess it fell out of contract the first time, then you brought in who you said is a serial flipper, they come in, they put about 125,000 into it. They said, “Hey Kim, it was really great working with you. Can you list it for me?” You then list it, five offers in the first day, and then you end up going over, and selling it for 556. That’s a healthy profit, right?

Kim:
Correct. Healthy? Yeah. I call him a serial flipper because he has a certain price point. He will not do anything that doesn’t at least make him a $100,000, that’s his. He gets the worst house in the best neighborhoods, and this is a B neighborhood too, it’s a great area. And by the way, he made the three bedroom, a four bedroom, so it even made it more enticing because in St. Pete, you can do mid-term or long term, and it’s such a great area. So he had some good options in there, anyone did beyond that, and he knows that.

Rob:
Yeah, I’ve been looking for a six-figure flip, and I’ve been talking to wholesalers and trying to find them, but they are hard to find. At this point, we’re just taking really a lot of things that pencil out, but that’s good for him. So are you the one that’s typically bringing those to him or does he have his own systems for finding, I guess, his six-figure flips?

Kim:
Both. We always have a system in place where any of our owners that we manage for, we have just over a thousand units, and anyone that wants to sell, they get offered out for several days to our investor list. And if somebody doesn’t take it, then it goes on to MLS.

Rob:
Okay, great. And so the MLS is where this deal was sourced as well?

Kim:
It was. We actually put that out to all of our investors and nobody took it. So you’re like, “Wow.”

David:
I have a question there. Why do you think they passed on it, Kim?

Kim:
I just think, I don’t know if it was Victor who said it, but some people… Or maybe it’s Matt, some people don’t want to do all that work. Sometimes they don’t have that mentality to do that. And I mean, we have all the contractors to help them do that, that are all licensed and insured that we can refer to them, and we always help. And so I don’t know, I mean if they’re new people, they definitely don’t… They’re like, “Okay, yeah, I don’t want to get into that.” But that’s usually where you make your most money.

David:
I have referred to that as real estate goggles, I’m wondering if there’s some seen greenway I could move it into it. But when you talk to an experienced investor, like Rob with his short-term rental, he sees something differently than me because he’s looked at more short-term rentals. He looks at the property and he goes, “Okay, the furniture’s terrible. It should look this way. The pink color should look like this. The decor should look this way, and it needs a theme. I bet if you did this or that, let me go look up research to see.” He sees what a property should look like. We typically call it the highest and best use, people make fun of realtors for saying that phrase, but I’ll do that with maybe a floor plan or a way the property is being used. It shouldn’t be used for this purpose in this area, it should be that way. Having those goggles, or having an agent that has those goggles, that can see angles that everyone else is skipping, is crucial. I mean, literally people missed out on a six-figure flip because it wasn’t what they were looking for.
Maybe they were looking for a facelift. They wanted, “Oh, I go in and I put in a new kitchen, and I put a new flooring and paint, and I flip.” And that’s the only thing they see. They can’t recognize that that huge workshop sitting out the back of it, that’s 1,400 square feet, that’s not permitted, but has electrical and plumbing run into it, could easily be turned into an ADU or two ADUs, that not only increases the value of the property, but increases the cash flow of the property. And there’s so many things like that, that when people bring the right set of goggles, they’ll see. And that’s one of the reasons I’m a fan of using agents, to be frank with you. Everyone wants the sexy off-market deal that they can get way below market value, they’re only looking at what I call buying equity. But there’s lots of way that real estate makes money, not just buying equity. Having those goggles can see opportunities. Do you see that, Kim, in your market happening pretty frequently?

Kim:
I do. I mean, obviously, we try to share as much as we can when we send out properties or post them to say, “Hey, this could be this. This could be your cashflow, or this could be the rent on this, or we can make another unit.” Or like with Rob, you could do a short or a mid-term on it. I mean, you want to give them as many options as possible. And again, I think people that are newer in this, they’re a little afraid, and they’re afraid what they don’t know, and that’s that part. I mean, we can garner and help them along during that process, but I don’t know what the answer is to that, and why [inaudible 00:33:26].

David:
Yeah, and I think about how we got in this position in the first place. So this is my hypothesis, I’m curious what you guys think. Podcasts like this started right after 2010, when everyone had PTSD and trauma, and insert your popular relationship therapist line that they’re all talking about. It was a toxic market, sellers were gaslighting buyers, they were emotionally abusive prices. Everyone was hurt from that. And when we looked at why people lost money, it’s because there was so much speculative approaches. They just buy low, sell high. “I know nothing about real estate, but they’re all going up, so I’ll just buy low, they’ll sell for more. It’s that simple.” When you ask someone, “Well did it cash flow?” They didn’t know what that meant, they didn’t understand there was a formula for ROI. None of the fundamentals of real estate were being practiced. So then the education kicked in, and we started explaining to people, “This is how you rent a cash-on-cash return. This is how you manage a property.” And then software started being developed to make everything about real estate became easier.
But people started taking courses from teachers, or gurus, or online creators that would say, “Here is the way to do it.” So this is the way that you look at cash-on-cash return, and you want it to say 10% or more, and then you buy it. This is the way you flip a house. You go 70% of ARV, you do a facelift, you do the kitchen and the flooring, the paint, you throw some mulch in the front yard, maybe the master bathroom, and you throw that thing back on there.” And people learned it from this really square peg, only way to look at it, strategy. And now that the market’s really high and there’s not a lot of deals, you can’t look at it from a perspective of what is the way, you have to say, “Well, what way would work for this property? And am I willing to do that?” And I’m only stopping to make this point, because I think so many people are hearing these podcasts and they’re frustrated. “I can’t find a deal.”
Well, they’re just going on Zillow, and they’re going on Rentometer, and they’re saying, “Here’s the rent, here’s the price, here’s my calculator. It doesn’t work.” They’re moving on the next one, they’re trying to force that square peg into every hole they find to see if it’ll fit, and it doesn’t. You got to look at every single property, almost like your child. Like, “I can’t talk to this kid the same way I could talk to that kid, they think differently.” They have different purposes and make it work there. But when you get that down, you see deals that Matt’s found, that Kim’s found, that Victor’s found. They’re out there, the people that have the right goggles are seeing them.

Rob:
Yeah, I totally agree, man. I totally agree. There are a lot of deals out there right now. I just bought a deal in Austin, and we thought we were going to just do a quick cosmetic flip on it, so we bought it. And once we actually started running the numbers on it, there wasn’t really going to be much meat on the bone, not to the point… With the amount of money that it was going to take to get invested in into it, wasn’t really going to be worth it. And so we started doing exactly what you’re talking about, and looking at the property from every angle. We started thinking, “Okay, what if we add square footage? What if we had an ADU, and start looking at all of the different uses for the property? And when it’s all said and done, we’re just going to rehab it and turn it into a mid-term rental.” So it was in front of me the entire time, but I was trying to get too fancy with it walking into it, and I really just wanted to do that one thing.
But really, after going through it, I think a lot of people find themselves in a deal, and they’re very quick to say it’s a bad deal and they’re going to lose money on it, when there’s other much less sexy options, like just holding it and making a little bit of money. That to me is a lot less sexy than making $50,000 profit on it, but it’s ultimately fine because it’ll cashflow for me every month. I’ll get amazing tax benefits from it, and it’s in Austin, Texas, which is an appreciating market always. So five to 10 years from now, I’m going to be real happy that I snagged it for the price that I got it.

David:
All right, let’s get another end of deals in from everybody here. Rob, you want to start us off there?

Rob:
Yeah, let’s do it. Okay, so we did first Victor, then Matt, then Nick. So I say let’s go back to you, Victor. Walk us through another deal, if you have one, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Tell us the name of the deal, tell us the market if it’s different than the one that I just named, and then the listing price and purchase price, and we’ll start there.

Victor:
Yeah, cool. This one I’m actually pretty excited about, because it’s more indicative of something that you can do sustainably and repeatedly, over and over and over and over and over again, it’s not that one-off unicorn like we first visited. And similar to what Kim was saying and what David was saying just earlier, it’s one that a lot of people glossed over, because it doesn’t hit a 1% rule type of a deal. But this one is in Haslet, Texas, which is a suburb of Fort Worth. Great school systems over that direction, a lot of recently built inventory that doesn’t need a lot of elbow grease put into it. So they’re recently built, they lease out quickly, and they’re desirable neighborhoods, all B-grade style neighborhoods. This one was ultimately going to be a long-term rental, it was already leased out for fair market rate, so there wasn’t anything sexy that you had to do in terms of adding value by increasing rents. It was already leased out for $2,400 a month. Asking price on it was a little bit high, it was at 330, and it had been sitting for a couple of weeks now.
So about 21 to 22 days, I think, when we submitted our offer. And similar to Kim over there in Tampa, our average days on market is 14, so it looks like there’s a black eye, it looks like there’s something wrong with this. It’s a 2015 build, right? It’s four beds, 1,800-plus square feet, it checks every one of our boxes for a quote-unquote, beef-style deal, breakeven appreciation focused style deal. We offered 300, got it under contract for 310, already has a tenant in place, already has high-quality management in place, and they’re paying $2,400 a month. So that type of deal is my absolute favorite to get into, because you’ve got something that covers your debt service, it’s in a great area, good school system, it’s going to appreciate nicely, and it’s going to throw off a little bit of cashflow each month on top of your PITI payment. So that one, to me, is the crème de la crème.

Rob:
Oh, very nice. Okay, so tell us this, you said that it already has a tenant in place. What is your stance on inheriting a tenant, and I’ll open this up to everybody here. Is that something that you guys were excited about? I guess it was a tenant with a good history, I presume, right?

Victor:
Exactly. So there’s a lot of different ways and a lot of different, I think, philosophies around inheriting tenants versus getting them out and placing your own. So for this particular one, they were already paying market rate, they wanted to extend, they’re up-to-date on their rents, and we had the rental verification just to confirm that they were indeed actually paying their rents every single month, and they were very happy with the management company that was already in place. So there was no reason for us to go ahead and withdraw them, just to go ahead and have another 30 days on market of placing a new tenant. Also, just the buyer themselves, knowing the buyer, knowing their disposition, incredibly risk-averse. We needed to remove as many variables for this client as possible in order for them to say, “Yeah, this is something I want to go forward on.”
So when we could bring a turnkey deal that was recently built in a good area, that already had a tenant and management in place, so you had no downtime, and you didn’t have the question of, “Well, how long is it going to take to rent, and what’s it going to rent out for?” It was a perfect, perfect deal for that particular client.

Rob:
Awesome. And how did you demonstrate value for the client walking into this?

Victor:
Identifying these deals is something that we go through every single day. So we’ve got a full-time analyst on staff, and just finding these properties, something like this, and having your RAS, your reticular activating system, engaged and being able to say, “Hey, I know a client who this would fit perfect for.” I’ve got my real estate goggles on, and I know that this doesn’t hit a 1% target, but it will hit that PITI payment coverage, and it will be a great opportunity for this out-of-state client who wants to remove as many variables from the transaction as possible.

Rob:
Love it. Awesome, man. Well, it sounds like a pretty killer deal. I mean, getting a little bit of cashflow out of it, inheriting a solid tenant, that same seems like a slam dunk to me.

Victor:
Slam duck is right. And like you were saying before, they don’t have to be sexy. The business isn’t all gunpowder and rock music, so.

David:
But that’s a great example, if your goggles are just cashflow, cashflow, cashflow, you miss an opportunity that, like you said earlier, your first deal, seven years of breaking even to have a paid off property free and clear that’s going to cashflow massively in seven years. Is that a terrible strategy? Well, maybe if you’re 64 years old and you don’t know if you’re going to make it that long. Okay, possibly. But I mean, for a lot of people, that actually makes a ton of sense. And Rob said, when you bring in the tax benefits, you could build really big wealth by having the right goggles to look at your properties through.

Victor:
Well, David, think about this. That property that they’re picking up right now for 750, and paying $6,500 a month on, and they’re going to own free and clear in seven years, that place is going to be worth a million bucks. It’s going to be worth a million bucks in the next seven to 10 years, they’re going to have a totally paid off asset. And the buyer, he’s an anesthesiologist and is 35 years old, he’ll be work optional at that point, especially if he keeps continuing to pick up one deal here or there every single year. So I think it’s a phenomenal option.

Rob:
Yeah, true man. That’s true. Yeah. Okay, so you’ll have quite the setup in seven years going back to that first deal. Very cool. Let’s bring it on over to Matt. Matt, do you have another deal that you can take us through?

Matt:
Yeah, so I have another deal I call Ridgewood. I have a client that I’ve worked with a few times before, he was looking to do a flip, and ended up finding a property off-market, but he did not have all the funds to purchase the property. So I agreed to partner up with him, and act as a debt partner, so I actually gave him some private money to get the deal closed. He paid for all repairs, and then we listed it, and got the property sold once he was done with all the rehab. So I’ve done this with a few clients, and I’ll do it with all clients, but for other clients that are looking to do that, I also have access to a lot of hard moneylenders, and other local lenders that may need… If you do need those resources, they’re available in my network. But this property was purchased for 225, he spent about 85,000 in rehab, and we ended up getting it sold for 410.

Rob:
Okay. And what was the profit on that 410?

Matt:
225 is what he purchased the property for, then he spent about 85 on rehab, and it sold for 410. He did have to pay commissions and selling costs out of that as well.

Rob:
And so when you say that you’re the debt partner on this, does that mean that you are actually the… Are you funding everything, or are you really just funding the down payment and the carrying costs on the hard money?

Matt:
So, great question. So he had $150,000 of his own money, so we kept the… The loan-to-value was really low on this, and so basically I came in, provided 50% loan-to-value, and then he had the capital for all the repairs. So it was minimal loan cost for him, but it’s still a very safe loan option for me. And then we ended up getting the property sold and I made a commission on that, and then he made a profit doing the flip, and was able to do the flip that he otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do.

Rob:
Nice, nice. Okay, so you walked into this, even with the value that you’re bringing from the debt partner side of it, you’re still actually taking the commission from the sale of it as well?

Matt:
Yeah, so one of the reasons that we were able to get the 410 listing price, which was the highest price in the neighborhood by far. The next available comp was 330 in that same neighborhood, so we really pushed the bar in this thing, is because he did the flip exactly right, rehabbed the property perfectly. We went in there with professional photography, a bunch of drone footage, and really put the gas pedal on the marketing in order to get that price.

Rob:
Cool. And did you find the deal on the MLS as well? Did you say that already?

Matt:
So this was an off-market deal, as far as the acquisition, and then we took it to market when we listed the property for sale.

Rob:
How did you find it off-market?

Matt:
Through a wholesaler partner that I have.

Rob:
Oh, okay. Great, great, great. David, anything else on this one?

David:
I’m curious with this connection you have with the off-market wholesaler, how are you working as an agent between the two worlds, where you work for a broker and you’re selling houses for clients, but then you’re also helping clients buying properties through wholesalers?

Matt:
Yeah. Yeah, it’s a great question. So it really depends on the deal, each deal is dependent. Sometimes there’s a marketing fee, other times it’s… I’ll basically introduce my client to them and then if it’s a flip, they agree to let us list the property once it’s done. And then we’re not making any commission on the front end, but we’re making commission on the back end once the property is listed for sale. Other times if it’s a rental, and they’re going to hold it as a rental, they may agree to have this… Property manage the property or something of that nature.

David:
And I also just wanted to highlight, while we’re talking about this real estate goggle thing that keeps coming up, this is a great flip deal. Well, everybody’s stopped looking for flips because they’ve been told buy and hold cashflow, quit your job, is the only way to go. And they’re passing up on six-figures of money that could come in useful to put towards a cash flowing property, right? What if that property that didn’t cashflow would if you put another a hundred grand down on it? But we’re missing that because we’re not looking for value add opportunities and what I call buying equity. So well done there, Matt. I could tell you’re a hardworking guy. Thank you for that. Kim, coming back to you, what about your second deal?

Kim:
I got a very unique and different deal, and actually it was for my husband and I, for our business. And we had been looking for office space to buy for about nine months, and we were downtown, it’s packed down there, paid 700 a month for parking. It just had gotten crazy. So I was desperately looking for something and I really wanted to office hack. I know people probably don’t hear that often, but just like a house hack. And I wanted to make sure that we had room for other tenants in the building, or there were other units, or whatever the case may be. So I found a building on Crexi, which is a commercial platform, and it had been on the market one day. And I went to see it, already another offer on the building, and they wanted 1.475.

Rob:
What? 1.475 million?

Kim:
475, yes. And I said, “I don’t want to pay that.” I’m like, “Okay, let’s flip this over.” It was 4,900 square feet and a two-story building, and actually found out it was one office at the time that we looked at it, but had found out that had really originally been four offices, two up, two down. So I went back home, and I penciled in the numbers. I found out what the square foot price was charging for rents, and it just didn’t make sense. I mean, it was okay, but we were going to be in one unit. So I said to my husband, “This looks like a great co-working space.” And he’s like, “What? No, we don’t know anything about co-working, Kim.” And I said, “It’s not that hard.” And so I did a lot of homework on it, checked the comps, checked out the competition, and we ended up buying it. We negotiated to 1.4, and I also negotiated for a brand new roof of 40,000, and I also negotiated for 5% commission.
So I ended up getting 110,000 at closing, and we spent 225 on our rehab, and now the building is worth 2 million. So I am three months in now.

Rob:
That’s amazing, that that is very cool. So let’s just walk through these numbers really fast. It was 1.475 million, you knocked them down to 1.4, and then you also knocked them down a little bit on the commission, which is 5% instead of 6%, right?

Kim:
I got 70 for that, and then I got another 40 for the roof.

Rob:
Oh, right, right. Okay, cool. And so basically you’re in roughly 1.3, you said you renovated for about 225k, meaning all in 1.5, 1.6?

Kim:
I mean, yeah, I would… Spend like 110,000 or something like that out of pocket.

Rob:
And so now you’ve added three to 400k in equity just from this sneaky little maneuver.

Kim:
And what’s nice is that when you start to pencil it out… Oh by the way, all the furniture I negotiated to.

Rob:
Oh, okay. It was all furniture you wanted to keep and stuff?

Kim:
Yes, to me it looked like a co-working space. So it’s pretty cool, I may be replaced a few things, but all of it was here. And I have 19 desks, and I charge 250 a month for those. I built out two offices, and I have a third one downstairs. So I have three private offices, one’s 850, one’s 1,100, one’s 1,200. And then I offer hot desk, where they can pop in and out, and that’s 100 a month. And then I also offer virtual office space, where basically just have an address, and we scan their bills. And then also beyond that, I also have a brand new sign out front where I have several spots on the queue where they can advertise as well.

Rob:
Well, you’re not really supposed to drop amazing stuff like this at the very end of the podcast, but that’s okay. That’s okay. So I don’t have a… Man. Yeah, you’ve really got the wheels turning up here. But I do want to ask, at what point, because you said the building is now worth 2 million. At what point do you start putting that on a cap rate, and selling it as a business, commercial real estate, all that stuff?

Kim:
Okay, Rob, you sound like my husband. He’s like, “I think we could sell this right now.” I mean, obviously we would make a lot of money, but I’m like, “What am I going to buy next? It took me nine months to find this building.” So I mean, I don’t really want to take any money out of it. Somebody said they think I could get 2.2, because I’m getting ready to put solar on there. I’m like, “Maybe. Maybe that’s a hot commodity.” But again, it takes me three years to recoup that cost, because that’s 100k.

Rob:
Well, I just meant more like, the real estate itself sounds like you’ve forced the appreciation there, but there is a business attached to it. So I do wonder if there’s a little bit more to that purchase price, or a little bit more to the 2 million than meets the eye.

Kim:
Yeah, true, true, true. I mean, because it wasn’t something that I ever… I own two property management companies and a real estate brokerage. I’m like, “What the hell do I know about doing coworking?” But I’m like, “Well, we’ve managed forever, managed short-term and long term, I think I can do this.” And I’m actually running it through my short-term software, because I’ve set up the podcast room in there, set up the conference rooms in there, so they can go in there and book their times. And I mean, it’s working out perfect.

Rob:
That’s amazing.

Kim:
Yeah.

Rob:
That is so cool.

Kim:
So right now, we’ve got about half leased already. We just did our ribbon cutting two weeks ago, and my goal is to be at 10,000 a month, and my note is seven.

Rob:
And you’re at about five right now?

Kim:
Yes.

Rob:
In two weeks? Outstanding.

Kim:
No, no, no, no. A couple months.

Rob:
Oh, oh, sorry.

Kim:
Some of these people. Yeah, I mean, but yes, we officially opened two weeks ago.

Rob:
Got it, got it. Still, that’s very cool.

Kim:
It’s a cool thing. And what I want to mention to everybody here is that, I know sometimes maybe commercial scares people, but don’t let it. And my commercial buildings, I make the most on positive cash flow on those, and I like to do triple net leases, which is where you put those expenses back to the tenants with regard to your taxes, your insurance, all this. So keep it in mind. I mean, there are a lot of buildings out there, like this, that are 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 square feet that are pretty cool to buy. And the rents here are really great because it’s a very entrepreneurial spirit here. So you have a lot of people that don’t want to be in those big high rises and that kind of thing. They want their own building, their name out front. And I mean, it’s something to keep in mind.

David:
Well, commercial properties are designed for the purpose of making money in cash flowing, they’re built for that reason. Residential properties, we have Jimmy rigged them to work that way, but that’s not what they were intended to do. They’re intended to reside in, not have commerce operating, so… And it’s just funny that so much of the information that we’re sharing has geared towards residential real estate as a way to make it make money, and that’s where all the creativity comes in. But it’s a lot easier when you take a property that was intended to make money and you use it to make money, just isn’t going to be passive, like you said. Several years of looking, or nine months of looking, several months of working, a lot of time and energy put into it. But the result is you got that castle that people keep saying isn’t out there.
So my opinion? Drop the expectation of passivity, drop the cookie cutter approach that every single deal needs to look the same thing, and you’re just going to hit control C, and then control V four times a year for the next 10 years, and have 40 properties. Bring the skills you have, like you said, Kim. I understood short-term rental, I understood medium term rental. I took my same software, my same approach, my same skillset, I applied it to this world, and it made sense. I’m thoroughly impressed with all three of you rock stars. You’re doing a great job of representing the real estate profession, and I’m happy to have you here on BiggerPockets. Before we get you out of here, we give you all a chance to tell people where people can find out more about you. How about you, Matt?

Matt:
Yeah, so you can find me on our website, [email protected], or of course on BiggerPockets, biggerpockets.com/agents.

David:
