Thanks for reaching out. Yeah it can be daunting if you're not a tradesman or DIY type. The real benefits here are potential for equity from day one rather than paying market, customizing it to your tastes, and ensuring you fix all major systems as they all go bad a some point....better in 15 years than say 3 months after buying. What city are you in and is the lot cleared for sub division? Would love to see the listing and even do a live analysis if interested.

I was just about to go to sleep at 2am and found this video..and stayed up.. it was hands down the most detailed description of the process for free and without video editing to cut things short. Thank You for deciding to help others. Question: 1) Did your contractor pull the needed permits or did you need to? 2) Did you need to seek out subs for other tasks.. or were all of the resources needed all provided by your main contractor? 3) Do you use special software to help keep your self organized in such a project with timelines and budgets?

@Karl__Pierre 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words in fact I'm about to do it all over again and document the whole thing. Answer 1 - I did not need permits in my town because it was a full remodel none of the items being done needed permits. Check with your building Dept to describe your scope of work and they will let you know what's needed. But I would put permits on the people you hire but be willing to help out. 2) all provided by contractor he found subs for roof, siding. 3) I don't but there's project managementsoftware out there. I just use a spreadsheet and calendar.

So, if the house is selling for $250K but comps value for $400K, is your FHA 203k loan for $400K?

Thank you so much for this video. I've already watched 11 hours worth of REI videos, and this is the closest, by far that actually gives a detailed view of the process. So many videos go through very generic details and I pretty much had no idea what to expect between the purchase and sell... like, sure, if you're doing some rehab there's going to be a contractor working but what's your part in it?? Now I have a better idea! I currently don't have any money in savings that can be used as float so I guess I'll have to make sure I can find a contractor that can work with that. Might be more pricey but probably better to work with someone who really knows their stuff on your first deal. Not sure if you'll answer a comment on a video as old as this one but I have a question: is it really a terrible choice for a newbie to work on a house that needs a LOT of rehab? A lot of videos I've seen suggest a simple "cosmetic flip" for your first deal. Obviously those are way more difficult to find though haha... Maybe I'm too ambitious.

@Karl__Pierre 2 жыл бұрын

I answer all comments lol. Especially thoughtful ones like this. If I were just getting started I would start with a 3-4 unit that only needed updating. Kitchens, baths, paint, floors. Main reason is because as a newbie you don't know how much things costs, what is market rate what isn't. I wouldn't advise anyone start with a gut reno. If you can find an outdated but good home 3-4 units start with that. Where are you based? I also offer consultation calls which I think you might need if you're interested in going down this path.

@Ruifulify 2 жыл бұрын

@@Karl__Pierre That's awesome! Definitely not something you usually see from content creators. That makes sense. I'm currently based on the outskirts of Cincinnati, OH. On the outer edge of Hamilton County basically. A consulting call would be great though I really don't have a lot of money to spend right now, unfortunately! My current plan is to find a fixer-upper (hopefully just an outdated home as you mentioned) and move in there using a 203k,

@Karl__Pierre 5 жыл бұрын

@@tchakeemn not sure what the question is but I will try to answer it but here's what i am assuming. 1-you already own a home that has equity. If yes how much equity? What is the current market value and current mortgage balance. 2 - you want to own a property free and clear. I'm not sure how that will occur if you used a heloc to purchase the next property as that heloc is more or less acting as a mortgage for the newly acquired property. Of course you can use a heloc to puchase and rehab an additional property but theoretically it's not free an clear as you have just increased debt on your primary residence. The 203k loan program is designed for first time homebuyers to purchase and improve a property. Many new investors use this program to get their first multi family home live in one unit and rent the others. The program gives you experience needed to continue to the next fix and flip transaction that investors will be doing utilizing hard money. Give me more details on what it is you are trying to do so I can give the best advice for your particular scenario.

It's not about being fha approved. You as the borrower is fha approved. You then shop for a property. Once you like it you make an offer. Get accepted offer then do your inspections, get contractor bid for your repairs, then appraisal.

Okay, so once I am FHA approved I then shop for a property that will accept FHA funding? I have watched several videos that refer people to HUDHomeStore.com, is that the most effective way to find properties that will accept this funding? I have visited the site and there aren’t many listings and mainly single family homes.

This was very thorough! However, I still have questions. 😁 If I am renovating a home using a 203k loan and the renovation takes 5 months, does that 5 months count toward the 1 year primary home minimum even though I’m not staying there technically due to the renovations? Also, does the 1 year primary home minimum mean you can’t just refinance it to a conventional loan if you choose before the 1 year is complete? Thanks!

@Karl__Pierre 4 жыл бұрын

That answer I don't know. What is fixation on the 1 year rule? Is it interest rate or desire to relocate. If interest rate the cost of refinance may not make sense. If to relocate I would imagine the 1 year starts from the official transfer date independent of the renovations date. All in all I think you're thinking about this correctly and encourage you to move forward. Just confirm those details with an expert. You can try contacting HUD and seeing if they can provide clarity.

@accrualworld318 4 жыл бұрын

ENTP LIFE Thanks for the reply. I found out it is 1 year from the closing date so if renovations are 5 months, I would only spend 7 months living at the property. The reason I am fixed on the 1 year is because I’d rather stay home than at the rental property.. just a preference. 😊

Yes if priced that well. But in reality as an owner occupied property you're going to be coming in higher than an investor. I just turned down a deal that would have 50k spread that would be perfect for owner occupancy. Why, because after all fees that 50k would be like 18k profit. However an owner would be happy with 50k equity from the start since there aren't looking to flip. Moral of this story is buy the house you wa nt, customize it, and when it's all said and done make sure it's below the market value and it will be a win.

The 203k Construction Consultant is a hybrid between a Home Inspector and a Cost Estimator. Their responsibility is to inspect the building and identify any code violations or any health and safety issues. Once that completed, the consultant will take into consideration the borrowers desired items. When the scope of work is agreed on, the consultant will provide an unbiased cost estimate reflecting what they believe the average contractor would change to complete that degree of work. Once the paperwork is completed, it goes to the lender to make sure the borrower can qualify for than amount and they will send it to the Appraiser. The Appraiser will tell us what the after improved value will be after the repairs are completed. The lender will then set up a closing. After closing, the consultant will inspect the property and approve the draw amounts for the contractor. The same process goes for draw 2,3, and so on until the project is completed.

If you want we can jump on a web call to discuss the details live we can make a video out of it. But to give you the simple answer it is doable. Based on your stated value some hard money lenders will lend on this property but anywhere from 60 to 65% of the market value. So you're looking at a rehab loan amount of $56,500. With the low credit you may need a co borrower and someone with experience like a contractor or tradesmen if you don't have flipping experience. If you are looking to live in the house they will not lend. If you are looking to keep as a rental you definitely need a partner to refinance. This isn't a clean cut deal but as I said if you're interested in hopping on a live feed it would be nice to dissect this one in real time and hash out the best plan for it.

I really want to help him do something like this to start to build his own wealth. He currently makes 55k a year, excellent credit and low DTI ratio. How much house should he purchase? Want to keep mortgage payments low. I would prefer a streamline K since it’s his first time. But if a 203k is best I don’t want to reject that idea. Should we look for foreclosures? Homes that maybe only need kitchen bathroom Renovations? 3 bedroom 2 baths? I’m sorry for so many questions. He will live there until all renovations are completed then possibly sell. Hopefully making a good profit. So new to this. It’s scary but that won’t stop us. He needs to find something by July. Thanks for any advice.

@Karl__Pierre 4 жыл бұрын

Since July is the target he should start looking now. I think he should target a liveable but out dated 2-3 family and use the streamline K to do some updates to kitchen and baths. The great thing about using fha is that they still allow the tenant to use future rental income to qualify and more than half of the payment will be paid by someone else. He may even be able to create a scenario where he lives rent free and now has the house completely paid by others while he saves for property 2. I advise to accumulate properties over finding flips. As a first project target outdated but liveable homes. Unless he has alot of experience with construction a major rehab for a first home isnt the best. So keeping it to bathrooms and kitchens and some paint goes a long way. Start looking for multifamily in Dallas and let me know if you see anything you like. Compare mortgage payments to average rents in the area using zillow and mortgage calculator. Also get preapproved and start making offers now - march.

Both should be able to make referrals for contractors they have worked with. The struggle is they are required to do a detailed bid, receive no deposits, and be paid after work is completed so either you or them need to be able to float expenses until each draw.

Go with a 203k contractor. They should be fully aware that they will have to use their own funds to get the project started. You shouldn't have to come out of pocket at all. If they are asking you for money, then they are not a 203k contractor.

Hey Sam, first of all congratulations you're on the right track buying a house early, is it a multi family or single family? Shoot me an email and I will put you in contact with two insurance companies that will insure a property that will be under construction. Keep in mind that insurance is a little more expensive so as soon as the work is done switch to something like liberty mutual. My email is Karl (at) Solis lapierre dot com.

@@samuelvalente9670 yes and yes. Lenders will most likely want you to have your real estate in an LLC as an investment property. You can get more properties but the down payments will be more. So my advice is to house hack to save money faster to start acquiring the next properties then using the BRRR strategy.

How do you pay the contractor if he cant afford the intial costs materials and labor. Out of pocket? How would you get reimbursed since the money goes to the contractor?

@Karl__Pierre 4 жыл бұрын

The money is actually paid to both of you. That's how it was done with me. The way I worked it out was I charged all materials and everything I could on credit cards. And when the check came I reimbursed myself for materials and paid the contractor the labor portion. We agreed on handling it that way as it showed him I'm splitting the risk and am confident the bank will pay otherwise he may feel he's getting duped. Hope that answers your question
