🎙️ Episode 94 - This video tells the entire story of an investment property I bought in 2009 right in the middle of the Great Recession. Banks weren’t loaning a lot of money at that point - especially for a property with an old 1938-house and 3 old mobile homes.
But the numbers seemed good, so I bought it, figured out a way to get the money, and kept it as a rental ever since. Now 12-years later, I decided to take a deep dive on the cash flow numbers to see how we ACTUALLY did financially. In this video, I share all the details with you so that you can analyze and understand your own rental properties better.

Great detail and comparisons. I also appreciate how you kept rent modest for the tenants and wasn't greedy. I think I would buy, remove old homes and replace with new used ones to reduce a lot of the maintenance on those older units. But overall I think you did a great job evaluating the property.

This was a great video. Thank you. Suggestion - you should explain that the 2nd mortgage was an interest only mortgage (7% x 6350 = $444.50 per year / $37 per month) and that at some point it needs to be paid back in full because it's not amortizing (yes, it's mentioned later on. If I was just starting out, this would be a great learning experience. For more experienced investors, it might not be a large enough return for the amount of time spent.
@CoachChadCarson 3 жыл бұрын
Good point. I didn't talk as much about the 2nd mortgage. Yes, it was interest only. Since my payments did not pay down any principal, we had to save money in order to pay it all at once. I believe we had a 10 year time frame to do that. This lender was not a professional investor and they did several loans like this at same time. So, 7% on 100,000 for example, makes more of a difference for them.

I would have done the deal based solely based on its potential value and opportunity to grow its interest to area….. Love how you break how you financed the deal… I’m in the Anderson area …. And very new to mobile home investing … What kind of mobile home do find the most value to invest today. Year, condition, and open ability to move home? Thanks Rod

I just found your channel and enjoyed the candid appraisal and business rationale. I'm a small investor and am rebuilding a small old mobile home for my use in Florida. I've gained a lot of experience on the weaknesses of those older homes and am wondering if in this day and age, you scrap those old mobiles and plat out the parcel for tiny homes which are purchased and maintained by the owners. There would be some costs with running electrical and water lines and pouring the pads but I've seen those go in very quickly out in the oil fields. I'm leaning towards renovating the house to a solid condition and increasing the number of leased units to live off of lot rents. The property would definitely look better too. Opinions?

@michaelspradley6554 3 жыл бұрын
Also, based on knowing the numbers and factoring the age of the properties I probably would not have done the deal. That of course is the beauty of being able to view all your numbers and making a judgment call based on all of that data rather than having to make the actual decision based on projections like you had to as you were doing it in real time. I really like these videos because they run counter to all the other videos out there of people talking about their deals without giving the true numbers.
@CoachChadCarson 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your feedback on whether you'd do the deal. That's so true about not having perfect information when you start. One thing I've tried to do is use data/experiences from past deals to inform my decisions on future deals. I can say "this deal is sort of like our small mobile home park" and that diagnosis helps me make a better decision. I also hope the same thing is true now for everyone who gets to watch these!
@michaelspradley6554 3 жыл бұрын
Personally, I think this is the type of info that new investors need. It makes the unknown a lot less scary. And like you said it makes you more informed about future opportunities that you analyze.

@crowbaril903 Жыл бұрын
I’m glad he found somewhere eles to live. Those type of situation when a property comes with “Live in maintenance man.” With no running water for himself isn’t a great sign, or the fact he didn’t try to buy it himself would of been enough for me. I commend you for being what sounds like a very understanding new owner! I myself had once just built a (semi-legal) apartment in a garage @ a 12 room air bnb only to have the place sold all the sudden and literally had carpenters from the new owner all the sudden in my kitchen doing finish work while I was still there (sometimes asleep in the bedroom to be woken up to these guys) Anyway my point is I should of been at the table for the deal because as an electrician I was the one that brought the main house around to a legal & safe rental property in exchange for rent. But I do believe I had hit the job so hard and with so many things to do (10k worth of material alone) that I ended up with the short straw there. Hopefully i can find something like you guys found, I’m dying to add equity to something. I’ve started to map out remodeling the small condo I’m renting bc I want to add a ceiling fan and cut in some lights. I already did the bathroom fan with one of those Bluetooth ones that plays your music while you shower 👍Gotta have it! 🪛🪚💡

good question. It might have been a better play to sell the mobile homes and just rent the lots. In my head i was thinking they were so old that it wouldn't be that in demand, but there's always some price where it make sense. I think the business model of owning and renting lots is fantastic.

I shared the property taxes in the section with the spreadsheet. But you're right - mobile home property taxes are lower per amount of rent than houses because their actual value is usually lower. So, that's a big positive. It was the maintenance - not the property taxes - that hurt our bottom line.
