Love your vids very easy to learn from. I was wondering for rookies like myself could you do a video on smartest ways to tip find good realtors, lawyers, and property manage companies to start your real estate business. I watched your other vids and layout really well what you need to get started but how do you find and how do you know who you should roll with. I have talked many of each and I'm nervous who I should pic what is criteria percentages, fees, track record. How did you find yours I guess is a lot better way to ask sorry lol. Thanks have a great day.

Great video as always Matt! Once you told me that when calculating expenses for you go with 10% management, 5% vacancy, 5% repairs. What about cap ex? Is that included in the 5% repairs or how do you do it? Thank you

@DeRosaGroup 7 жыл бұрын

No, for Mid Sized multi you should set aside between $250 to $300 per unit per year for Cap Ex. For small Multi you need to look at the building to figure what costs you will need to save for - roof condition, furnace, windows, unit upgrades, etc... then calculate how much per year you will need to save to build enough coffers to address these issues when the time comes.

@m19y29 6 жыл бұрын

Would be helpful to find out how to actually find these buildings. I know loop net is worthless unless you buy a property with high vacancy rate How to find these properties? Cant necessarily talk to CRE broker because they will only show you deals their current clients dont want to purchase.

Matt - fellow Hokie here. How large of an operating expense or debt service reserve do your recommend on small multifamily purchase (20 unit)? Is there a % of NOI rule of thumb that you use?

@DeRosaGroup 7 жыл бұрын

Hey Tyler! Go Hokies! 2017 is our year, I feel it! For that sized deal I would set aside either 6 months debt service or 50% of one year's expenses, whichever is greater. Use that as a kick start to your Cap Ex reserve and also some cash to dip into as you stabilize the property in the first few months.

I would love if you did a video on financing for 5 to 15 unit apartments and arriving at their values. I Feel like that space is less sophisticated so some people understand NOI and cap rates and other people try to look at comps

@DeRosaGroup 3 жыл бұрын

Great idea! 5 to 15 units are interesting - too small for cap rate evaluations. If you have a deal email it to helpme@derosagroup.com, I'll evaluate it for you

Great Video! It's nice to see some cons of multi-family, sometimes people who post videos about multi-family only talk about the positives and you get a feeling that multi-family is like a 'holy grail' investment. By that I mean it's the best thing you can do. As you may remember, I am currently a college student looking to buy Multi-family after school (and once I obtain enough capital). I am worried about the popularity of multi-family because I feel like this is going to make it exponentially harder for me to enter into this game. What are your thoughts about the general multi-family market looking into the future? Do you think multi-family is maybe in a bubble, and the next recession (which many have speculated is soon) will shake a lot of weaker hands out of multi-family? In other words, what do you think the effect of the next recession will be on the multi-family marketplace?

@DeRosaGroup 7 жыл бұрын

Nick it's really hard to say what the upcoming market is going to do. I don't see the current cap rates as sustainable, so I do see a pull back happening. that being said, if owners can't get their price and their assets are stable, they just won't sell. my advise to you would be to keep learning and saving. when you are ready to get in, invest for opportunities that are evident in the market at that time. don't try too hard to predict the future, because no one gets that exactly right lol.

*Fantastic job! Mr Math! Question: if you get a loan as a business , is the down payment higher than if you get a personal loan? Thanks!*

@DeRosaGroup 7 жыл бұрын

"Mr. Math". LOL, thanks. That's a loaded question. It's all about the collateral. If you get a loan on a real estate purchase, that has the real estate as collateral via a mortgage, in your own personal name, and you plan to live there, and it's 4 units or less, then yes the down payment can be cheaper. They call that a "house hack" on Bigger Pockets. If you are doing a strait purchase for investment purposes only, then no there is no difference.

Derosa Group ah ok thank you! What is in your opinion the most wanted rental property for tenants? Something like a single family home? Or perhaps bigger rental properties? I am researching real estate so I can buy my first rental property next year :)

Everyone wants something different, so it's hard to say lol. Some tenants want single family homes, others want an apartment . Best of luck!

Hey man I think small multi family's up to 40 units.

@DeRosaGroup 3 жыл бұрын

Good point. It's not a hard and fast line, but many draw it between 30 and 80 units and below is considered small multi.

@NoNo-zf6tz 3 жыл бұрын

@@DeRosaGroup I was joking because you specifically said dont leave a comment and say that @ :40 lol. You have some great videos on what to expect with rentals ive been learning quite a bit. My situation is that a close relative has about 250k to invest and was considering buying a home to rent. I've been trying to explain that is not a good investment because the ROI is much smaller then to get a loan and purchase multiple homes. She has been making about 5% yearly ROI and I would love to help her make over 10% net....is that realistic in todays market which seems to be on fire still?

@DeRosaGroup 3 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't promise 10 percent... 5 is not that bad these days but it may not have collateral. Maybe you borrow it at 8 percent with a monthly payment? That's good cash flow for her and a solid line of credit for you. And thanks I forgot about the 40 unit comment I made lol!!
