This property has been fully renovated about 2 years ago and currently does not require any rehab, yet I was able to put it under contract at roughly 70% of TODAY’s market value, which means I am buying with an instant equity position of $75k+ as well as pretty strong cash flow.

So I said:  “Hey, I am about to get trampled by the masses trying to catch Amtrak, because all other modes of transportation have apparently been canceled due to the blizzard.  BUT, once I get on the train, I’ll type something up for you since I’ll have time to kill anyway”.

And as I was sitting on the train, typing this thing up, I thought, why not share it with my subscribers as well.  So here it is.  As the title above says, it’s very informal and very incomplete but there’s some good nuggets there.   As always, LEAVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS BELOW!

Sidebar:  I’ve been pretty quiet lately -spending a lot of time in the “lab” making improvements to Rental Valuator (Lite and Premium) and also developing a new version of Rehab Valuator for you along with a brand-new Premium version.  This will be a kick-ass tool for all of your rehabbing properties or wholesaling.  Stay tuned.

Daniil.

I strongly suggest you watch both of these – each one is about 25-30min. The first deals with an all-cash deal and the second one has a hard-money component to it. And as always – leave me a comment!!

Here’s the link where you can download the 2nd Case Study Rehab Valuator – it has my transactions worksheet.  This is a pretty informal spreadsheet but will give you an idea of how I track stuff.  I am working on a much more sophisticated version of Rehab Valuator with separate rehab budgets for Flip and for Rental, reports that you can use for marketing deals, rehab schedule that’s broken out by month, etc.  It won’t quiet be free  but will be well worth it (I think) ;)
