First things first,

BIG THANKS to our subscribers Patrick, Adam, & Justin for bringing the šŸ”„ with some great question for this week!

**Also, I threw these questions into the world of X (Twitterā€¦thanks Elon).

Q:

 A:

2020 & 2021 refinances were awesome, butā€¦.all these 5 year adjustment rate mortgages are coming due. SO my quick answer is INCREASE CASHFLOW!!!

If you havenā€™t made a plan to decrease your expenses or increase the income from your property yetā€¦.take it BillšŸ‘‡

Q:

A:

Fargo/Moorhead isnā€™t ripe for distressed property. You guys, even if I am seeing busted up houses, they are still getting priced up quite a bit, weā€™re just not that market.

My suggestion for knocking out your next BRRRR:

  • Find distressed sellers, not distressed properties. Foreclosure #ā€™s have been climbing since 2021.

  • Crank up the Cashflow #s on a multi-fam. Itā€™s like a BRRRR without picking up a hammer.

EXAMPLE: $450,000 5-plex with NOI of $32,000 per year. Move that to $37,000 per yearā€¦.value jumps to $520,000.

Q:

A:

Donā€™t shoot the messenger here, but if you just added a fence to your yard, planted $4000 in foliage, bought blinds for your whole house, and installed a fireplace with ship-lapā€¦.your house value didnā€™t go up the $37,000 that it all cost you šŸ˜«šŸ˜«

BUT!

Your house DID become much more attractive and "Sell-able" in comparison to the other homes on the block that don't have those upgrades.

Now taking a $475,000 2-story home and finishing the basement (which adds a bedroom and a bathroom to the stat line). THAT $50,000 check you wrote probably does move your price into the $525,000 range. Finished space + stats is where the money is peeps. šŸ˜Ž

CONCLUSION:

Hereā€™s the down-low gang":

  • Increase that cashflow so interest rates donā€™t hurt you.

  • Start getting foreclosure listings from your trusted RE agent.

  • Finish that basement but only add that fireplace & $30K bar if itā€™s for YOU. šŸ‘Œ
