Alright, let’s leap into it. Like I stated, the title of at present’s webinar is Discover, consider, and Provide on Rental Properties.I wish to begin earlier than we get into the content material of simply shortly introducing myself. If you happen to guys don’t know me, my identify is Dave Meyer. I’ve been an actual property investor for almost 14 years now. I additionally work full-time at BiggerPockets the place I’ve been an worker for greater than eight years. My present title is the Vice President of Market Intelligence, which suggests I get to do all types of enjoyable stuff like research the housing market, research economics and share what I study with all of you. I additionally host the podcast available on the market. I’ve written two books, actual Property by the Numbers and Begin with Technique, however regardless of a few of these accomplishments and what I do with my time proper now, I feel what’s most vital to our dialog at present is that it wasn’t so way back that I too was a beginner in actual property investing and I used to be simply attempting to determine get a few offers and get some momentum behind my portfolio, however fortunately I’ve discovered some techniques and instruments which have helped me scale my portfolio and I’m tremendous excited to share these instruments with you at present.Now that you recognize who I’m, let’s discuss our agenda first. We’re going to study the key to discovering good offers each on and off market. I do know that some folks really feel that it’s arduous and tough to seek out good offers, however we’re going to speak about how one can get round among the challenges that exist in at present’s market. Subsequent on our agenda, we’re going to speak about mastering the 5 phases of deal evaluation. If you recognize me, deal evaluation is sort of my factor. I find it irresistible and I’m going to present you a demo of instruments which might be going that can assist you do deal evaluation the identical approach that I do. Subsequent we’re going to speak about overcoming among the largest roadblocks to getting your presents accepted as a result of it’s a aggressive market proper now and understanding place your self and strategically provide on offers is de facto going that can assist you.We even have seven options to this roadblock, so that you’re positively going to wish to hear these. Earlier than we leap in, I simply wish to ask you why you’re right here for a minute as a result of studying actual property in fact is enjoyable in its personal proper, no less than I discover it enjoyable, however I feel most individuals are right here as a result of they wish to pursue one thing extra significant. It’s most likely monetary freedom in the event you’ve by no means heard of that time period. It’s mainly the concept that you get hold of a stage of wealth that permits you to spend your time, the way you wish to spend it and who you wish to spend it. And I do know that there’s loads of influencers on the market promoting you on the concept that monetary freedom or why you need to be investing is like luxurious items or costly automobiles and boats or all these items on simply truthfully materials issues.I’m not saying there’s something incorrect with boats, I’ve buddies with boats, however I’ll hunt to current type of a unique thought about what monetary freedom is. The reality is, or no less than my opinion of what monetary freedom is, is that it appears to be like completely different to completely different folks. For me, it’s about with the ability to journey the place I would like and to spend so much of time with my household and buddies. So possibly that resonates with you. For lots of different traders it’s about making time for the hobbies that you simply like or possibly you’re in a band otherwise you actually like artwork. Everybody’s imaginative and prescient about monetary freedom is completely different, however all of those visions of freedom I feel have one factor in widespread and it’s not essentially about excessive wealth, it’s truly about time. It’s about getting sufficient cash that you simply acquire again freedom and management over the way you spend your time.And also you already most likely know since you’re listening to this webinar proper now that actual property investing might help you with monetary freedom and might help you regain a few of your time so you may spend your life the way you need. And a few folks name this monetary independence. Some folks possibly as an alternative of on the lookout for time or on the lookout for generational wealth to vary their household tree or to construct a monetary fortress so that you simply really feel safer in your life and which you could climate any of the inevitable downturns or challenges that include life. However no matter your targets are right here, you need to know that actual property can give you monetary profit and all it takes is one rental property at a time. You don’t have to be considering 20 years forward or a whole bunch of items forward. What I like to recommend to nearly everybody who desires to pursue these long-term targets is definitely simply deal with short-term features and getting the following property the following deal and constructing momentum of their portfolio.Now, if there are all these nice causes and there are to investing in actual property, why doesn’t everybody do it? There are loads of roadblocks that I hear about and these are actual. Let’s be trustworthy, not actual property isn’t simply minimize and dry for everybody. There are causes that you need to have reservations. Some reservations that I hear that folks lack confidence. They don’t know what a great actual property deal even appears to be like like, however the actuality is one of the simplest ways to develop your confidence is definitely it’s sort of easy. All you’ll want to do is study you simply self-educate and encompass your self with individuals who know greater than you do and apply get good at analyzing offers and also you’ll be capable to discover nice ones. Or possibly a reservation you’ve is shedding all the pieces or shedding some cash on a deal that is sensible. However in actuality, skilled traders know that choosing the proper offers is sort of only a matter of following a easy evaluation framework that different traders have created and invented and used, and also you simply must observe that framework repeatedly, study to repeatedly run the numbers and doing that, you may mitigate threat by shopping for nice offers and hear, whether or not these are your reservations or you’ve different reservations, simply keep in mind that I understand how you’re feeling like I had these reservations too.Each single investor has these reservations. Nobody goes into making massive monetary choices, feeling one hundred percent assured. The factor is that I received over it by educating myself, by grabbing the fitting instruments, by surrounding myself with the fitting neighborhood. And I’ve finished that principally via BiggerPockets. I truly began my investing profession six years earlier than I even knew that BiggerPockets existed. And lemme inform you, these six years weren’t probably the most environment friendly of my investing profession. I used to be type of scrapping and attempting to determine it out, however as soon as I found BiggerPockets and noticed that there’s this unbelievable neighborhood of hundreds of thousands of traders who assist one another, who share instruments and share sources, I scaled up so much quicker and I used to be capable of overcome loads of the reservations and roadblocks that we had been simply speaking about. And I’m not the one one who has finished it this manner.There’s tons of individuals in BiggerPockets who’ve used the identical instruments and the identical processes to change into profitable traders. I simply pulled a narrative from the boards from a man named Jason who stated that he was capable of utterly exchange his six determine earnings with passive actual property in simply three and a half years due to the instruments and community and neighborhood of BiggerPockets. This is only one story, guys. You possibly can go discover extra of them within the boards, however I simply need you to know that that is doable and what Jason has found out, what I’ve found out what tons of different folks via BiggerPockets have found out is that it doesn’t take that many properties to realize monetary freedom regardless of folks on Instagram saying you want a whole bunch or hundreds of properties. It’s simply not true. And I’m going to point out you analyze and purchase the fitting varieties of properties even in the event you’re not good at math, even if in case you have no expertise in actual property and even in the event you don’t know discover offers proper now, by the top of this webinar, you’re going to know do all of these issues and these items issues, guys, as a result of in the event you’re capable of finding and analyze offers, you discover higher offers, which means you get to monetary freedom quicker as a result of your offers are extra environment friendly.And in the event you get to monetary freedom quicker, which means you get that point again that we had been simply speaking about, which is what it’s all about. However keep in mind earlier than we get into it, guys, that is going to take work. Actual property investing just isn’t a get wealthy fast scheme. You’re going to need to put in effort and time, however if you’re prepared to place in that point, if you’re dedicated to being constant and taking motion day after day, you will get on the trail to constructing wealth via actual property at present. So let’s leap into it and get began. So the 1st step is discovering offers and everybody calls it discovering offers, however I truly suppose the primary a part of discovering or touchdown a deal is definitely about discovering leads as a result of truly each lead, each property that you simply have a look at just isn’t going to be a deal.You really need to seek out loads of completely different properties to take a look at and analyze earlier than you’re going to seek out one which you could make a suggestion on and finally purchase. And in order that’s why leads are vital. And in the event you don’t know {that a} lead is simply mainly like a deal that your brokers sends you otherwise you discover off market otherwise you simply discover on the MLS and you’ll want to consider it like a funnel as a result of possibly you’ll want to have a look at 50 completely different offers and then you definately analyze possibly 20 of them are good offers to investigate, you analyze these after which possibly out of these 20 offers you analyze, possibly considered one of them is value providing on. It’s actually only a numbers recreation and so you’ll want to begin by determining the place you’re going to seek out your leads. I’ve 4 suggestions for you on the place to seek out leads.Primary is unsolicited mail. That is an off-market deal discovering technique the place you attempt to determine sellers who’re prepared to promote you their property earlier than they go and promote it on the MLS. And there’s a pair methods to do that. So unsolicited mail is the primary one. That is utilizing software program the place you may mainly exit and ship postcards to individuals who meet your standards. It’s also possible to do the same thought for driving for {dollars}. That is the place you truly exit round determine properties in your neighborhood that you simply suppose would make good investments and phone the sellers. It’s also possible to use sure web sites for this unsolicited mail advertising and marketing. So all of those methods are good methods to seek out off market offers. I’ll truly throw in a bonus, you can too simply community with different traders in your space and possibly they are going to assist you discover pocket listings and stuff like that.These are all nice methods to seek out actually good offers, however these strategies are just for some folks as a result of they’re just a little bit extra time consuming and is usually a little bit costlier than my favourite technique for locating leads, which is simply utilizing a investor-friendly agent. And I do know this isn’t probably the most thrilling or the sexiest possibility, however I’ve discovered the vast majority of my offers on market on the MLS as a result of my investor-friendly agent was capable of ship me a terrific deal Working with an investor-friendly agent is nice as a result of one, they assist you type via the MLS and discover nice offers. I truly simply yesterday received a property below contract. That is in 2024, received a property below contract that’s going to cashflow on market from my agent. So guys, that is completely doable. I’m doing it. I’ve additionally had my agent ship me off market offers as a result of in the event you discover a good investor pleasant agent, not simply your run of the mill agent however one which works with traders, my agent sends me pocket listings and off-market offers, truthfully on a regular basis no less than as soon as per week as a result of my agent does loads of that networking for me.And since I’m a great investor and a great purchaser, he sends them to me first. So working with a terrific agent I feel is one of the simplest ways to get loads of leads. Now in the event you’re questioning how do I discover a terrific investor pleasant agent? Nicely, BiggerPockets is a software for that. All you bought to do is go to biggerpockets.com/brokers. You enter just a little little bit of details about your self and also you’re going to get matched utterly without spending a dime with an investor pleasant agent who might help you navigate your market and get these leads in. So you may transfer to the following a part of the evaluating and providing funnel that we’ve been speaking about. Now that we’ve type of talked about leads, let’s transfer to half two, which is evaluating offers. And simply as a reminder, you employ both an investor pleasant agent or among the off market deal discovering ways that I’ve been speaking about to get leads, however to make a lead right into a deal, you’ll want to consider them as a result of when you’ve all these leads coming in, not all of them are going to work.You wish to make it possible for the numbers work and that you simply’re going to seek out the deal that gives you the very best return. Now in the event you’re not acquainted, and I’ve by no means finished this earlier than, I do know that it will possibly sound intimidating to investigate offers, however we’re going to make use of a software proper now and I’m truly going to stroll you thru it to point out you that this could truly be fairly simple and fairly fast. You’re going to see that with just a little little bit of apply you’ll be capable to analyze leads in 5 or 10 minutes in order that that concept of analyzing 20 offers is definitely not that intimidating and is one thing that actually anybody can do. So we’re going to leap over to the BiggerPockets calculator and we’re going to really analyze a lead that I discovered on the BiggerPockets web site. It’s in Memphis, Tennessee. We’ve got a 3 mattress, one and a half tub home.It’s a smaller home, it’s 922 sq. toes and it’s available on the market proper now for $87,450. And the projected lease, no less than based on the vendor is $880. So I’m within the BiggerPockets calculator and in the event you guys wish to observe alongside, you may simply go to biggerpockets.com, click on on the little instruments factor on the navigation bar after which go to rental property calculator. That’s the place I’m at. And also you’ll see as I stated earlier, that there are literally 5 steps to our deal evaluation. One, you place in property data, then you definately go to the acquisition circumstances, mortgage particulars, rental earnings and bills. We’ll stroll via every of these 5 proper now. So first issues first, property info. This couldn’t be any simpler. You mainly simply copy and paste or sort within the handle of the property. I’m going to try this for our property in Memphis, which is on Lake Park Highway.After which I’m additionally going so as to add some images concerning the property. I simply do that as a result of I discover it simpler to recollect all of the completely different leads that I’m going via visually. Keep in mind I used to be saying that you’ll want to have a look at possibly 20 analyze 20 offers earlier than you choose one. Nicely, I can’t keep in mind addresses personally, so I wish to put in photos. It makes it simpler for me to recollect. In order that was it for buy data, that’s the simplest one of many 5 steps. I’m going to click on subsequent on the calculator and transfer onto the acquisition circumstances. That is mainly the place you place in details about shopping for the property. So for now, let’s assume that we’re going to pay full asking worth, which is 87,450. So I’m simply going to sort that in into our calculator and put in closing prices, which I might suppose goes to be about $3,500.Now you’re possibly asking like, how do I do know closing prices? That’s not listed on the itemizing. No, it isn’t. However I’ve finished sufficient offers to understand how a lot closing prices are. However within the BiggerPockets calculators now we have these little assist suggestions. So in the event you’re new to deal evaluation, simply click on on the assistance tip and it’ll offer you guidelines of thumb. For instance, this one says, in the event you’re not sure of closing prices, use 1.5% of the acquisition worth. That may be solely about 2000 bucks. I feel it’s truly going to be just a little bit increased for me out of state traders, so I’m going to do 3,500 bucks. Then you’ve the choice to say in the event you’re going to be rehabbing this property, I feel at 87 grand, I don’t know this property guys, I simply discovered it on-line, I’m going to imagine that we do must put in just a little bit of cash right here.So I’m going to imagine that we’re going to place in $7,500. I’m going to sort that in and by doing that I can truly improve the worth of this home to a couple of hundred grand. So I’m going to place in 7,500 and that can take the worth of this home from 87,000 to 100 thousand. And that is what is called an after restore worth and is a standard factor which you could study on the BiggerPockets web site. However mainly once you purchase a home, you often need to stabilize it, which is placing just a little little bit of an funding in to extend the worth and put it in nice situation to your tenants. Alright, that’s it. We’ve already finished the 1st step property data and step two buy and we’re shifting on to mortgage particulars. First, I’m going to place down my down fee, which is 25% as an out-of-state investor.That’s often what I put down. You would put down much less, however for me that’s what I wish to put down and I’m going to make use of an rate of interest of seven% as a result of that’s what I’ve been quoted not too long ago. Subsequent, I’m going to place in my mortgage time period, which is 30 years as a result of I really like fastened fee debt and I’m finished with mortgage particulars. So step three is already down. If you happen to guys don’t know fill out this out, one of many issues that I like to recommend is speaking to a lender. It’s utterly free. They’ll inform you how a lot you’ll want to put down. They’ll inform you how lengthy your mortgage time period, what your in fee’s going to be, and we’ll discuss that extra in a minute, however simply speak to a lender in the event you don’t understand how to do that a part of the evaluation. Step 4 is earnings.That is the place we discuss lease. So that is the place some folks get tripped up as a result of they don’t understand how a lot they will lease their property out for and that is tremendous vital and you’ll speak to different traders. That’s a good way to do it. You possibly can look on Zillow or residences.com, you may speak to a property supervisor, however a technique I like to recommend doing it, particularly once you’re simply analyzing loads of offers shortly is to make use of the BiggerPockets Hire Estimator. So that is one other software that now we have the place you simply go in and once more, if you wish to observe alongside, simply go to biggerpockets.com, click on on instruments within the high nav and hit Hire estimator. You possibly can put within the property handle that you simply’re analyzing and we’ll offer you an estimate of what rents are going to be. And we’ll additionally inform you how assured we’re on this estimate.So once I put our handle in right here on the Hire estimator, I see that it’s 1050 $5 and really excessive confidence and I can see why there’s excessive confidence as a result of what I’m taking a look at is a map of possibly like 25 ish comps in a right away space. So these are different properties which were listed for in very near this property and that’s how we make our estimate and I really feel fairly good about that. So I’m going to place that in as our gross month-to-month earnings 1055. That’s step 4 and we’re shifting on to bills. Once we discuss bills, there are a few completely different classes of bills. The primary one is property taxes. BiggerPockets has already pulled in for you. We use public document information and so we already know that property taxes on this one is 816 bucks a 12 months and insurance coverage goes to be about $900 a 12 months.I googled that simply earlier than I gave this presentation. I like to recommend you try this or you may at all times speak to an insurance coverage dealer and get a extra correct estimate. When you’re getting nearer to providing on offers, which we’ll discuss in only a minute. After we do these fastened bills, we transfer on to what’s generally known as variable bills. These are issues like repairs and upkeep and emptiness that don’t occur on a regular basis, however you’ll want to put cash away for to make it possible for after they do come up that you’ve money to cowl it. For repairs and upkeep, I wish to put round 7%. That’s only a quantity I exploit not understanding this property, but when it’s an previous property you might wish to put increased. If it’s new building, you may put decrease, however I’m going to place 7% vacancies. I like to make use of the variety of 8%.That’s about one month of emptiness per 12 months. That’s conservative, however I wish to be conservative. After which capital expenditures, I’m going to place 5% in the event you don’t know what which means, capital expenditures, in any other case generally known as CapEx. It’s sort of just like repairs and upkeep, nevertheless it’s mainly for larger issues like changing the roof or a boiler or an HVAC system and it’s handled otherwise from the IRS. So you must maintain it separate. We’ve put in our percentages there and we’re going to maneuver on to our administration charges. I put 8% in right here. I’m an out of state investor and within the two markets I make investments out of state, I pay 8% for each. So I’m going to place that for my administration charges after which I’m going to maneuver on to our final part of the complete evaluation, which is utilities. So it is a single household house, and so for utilities, I truly am not paying something.The tenants pay for electrical energy, so I’m going to place zero there for fuel, put zero there, water and sewer zero there. There’s no HOAs on this property. Rubbish I truly often pay as a result of it’s identical to a metropolis expense. So I pay 20 bucks a month for that after which I’m finished. So I’ve been speaking and strolling you thru this and this nonetheless took me solely 5 minutes to investigate this deal. In order you may see, in the event you get good at this, you’ll be capable to take all these leads that you simply’re getting and analyze them for good offers comparatively shortly. And what I see once I analyze this deal is it is a whole lot. So I simply hit analyze and what the calculator exhibits me is that this property would provide $160 a month of cashflow, which is nice and it’s equal to simply below a 6% money on money return.That may be a actually good return proper now. Totally different folks goal completely different money on money returns. For me, if it’s in a very good neighborhood that I feel will admire, I goal a money on money of three or 4% in spite of everything my bills, or if it’s in additional of a cashflow space the place I’m much less satisfied that we’ll get good appreciation, I goal someplace within the six to eight% money on money return. So this to me can be a great deal. I might take into account providing on this deal. Now if this deal isn’t ok for you otherwise you wish to be much more conservative, you are able to do some extra finagling of your assumptions with the calculator, which is tremendous cool. So you may go in and say, you recognize what, 6% is sweet, however I wish to get an 8% money on money return. So what occurs if as an alternative of paying full asking worth, I pay 84,000, keep in mind it was 87,000.So if I can get knock three grand off the asking worth, my money on money return goes from 5.8% to six.5%, that’s fairly good. Or possibly I can speak the customer, the vendor into shopping for down my rate of interest half some extent to 6 level a half p.c, then my money on money return goes as much as 7.3%, proper? So I’m not saying that the vendor’s essentially going to simply accept these phrases, however you may type of mess around with completely different eventualities to get a way of what the perfect provide you can also make is as a result of in only a minute we’re going to speak about provide on offers and the calculator makes that basically, actually useful and actually, very easy. On the backside of the calculator, you can too see once you go to promote it how a lot cash you’ll make. For instance, on this deal, in the event you held onto it for 10 years, you’ll make 60 grand, which is an 11% annualized return, which is phenomenal.Final thing I wish to point out on this calculator is there may be this share button and in the event you allow share report sharing, you may obtain A PDF that has all of this deal evaluation in a very nice wanting PDF. Extremely suggest you think about using this stuff as a result of if you wish to discover a lender, if you wish to get your partner on board, in the event you’re seeking to entice a associate, exhibiting them that you simply’ve finished professional stage deal evaluation goes to be actually vital. And all these calculator studies present that you simply’ve finished your homework, you know the way to do deal evaluation, it’s going to be extremely correct since you’re utilizing a revered software and that’s going to make all of these conversations so much simpler. Alright, so that’s deal evaluation. Hopefully you guys see that this isn’t tremendous arduous and which you could consider offers, you may take the guesswork out of deal evaluation in the event you use the fitting instruments with that, now that we’ve talked about the way you get leads, analyze instruments, we will transfer on to half three, which is the ultimate step of the method, which is providing on offers.And this half is usually ignored. Individuals spend loads of time taking a look at offers, analyzing offers, however they don’t know type of convey the deal over the end line with the fitting provide. Two questions you need to ask your self earlier than making a suggestion since you don’t wish to provide on all the pieces. Primary is do the numbers work? I can’t stress this sufficient, but when the numbers don’t work, the deal doesn’t work, don’t make a suggestion on it, proper? And it’s vital ability as an investor is understanding when to stroll away from a deal. Even in the event you actually prefer it, the numbers don’t work, then it’s not a great deal and also you shouldn’t offer on it. In order that’s the primary query. The second query is, how is the vendor promoting? So that you wish to ask your self, what are the circumstances that you simply discover below this deal?Is the vendor in a very aggressive market or have they’d their property listed for some time? You wish to search for clues on what the vendor is considering and going via and since that’s going to tell your provide and your investor pleasant agent ought to assist with that, search for these clues. So listed here are seven suggestions for getting your provide accepted, and I’m going to undergo these quick. So listen first. Is it’s the primary to supply? Are you able to get the primary provide in and put a detailed response deadline in there in order that they’ve to answer you earlier than you face loads of competitors? I’ve finished that previously and it’s labored for me. It’s also possible to be the final, I do know that sounds contradictory, however generally you may are available in on the finish with the perfect provide and type of leapfrog all the opposite investments.I truly did this actually yesterday. There’s a provide deadline and I waited till quarter-hour earlier than the provide deadline and I wound up coming in with a terrific provide and I gained the deal. Third is maintain it clear. Don’t make your provide tremendous difficult with all these caveats and contingencies, that’s going to scare away loads of sellers. Fourth, I actually like this one, their worth, your phrases. Sellers are often actually centered on what the worth is, however you as an investor must be centered on phrases like getting an inspection, appraisal gaps, methods to guard your self in the course of the closing course of. This may be actually useful for you as an investor in the event you give them their worth, they’re usually extra prepared to simply accept your phrases. Subsequent, quantity 5 is increased buy worth, however concessions. These are issues like, I’ll pay you extra, however you’re going to have to repair that roof, proper?Or I’ll pay you much more than you’re asking worth, however I want a very lengthy closing interval. So once more, you’ll want to work with the vendor. They’re not an adversary in each negotiation. You might be companions and so you’ll want to provide one thing like the next buy worth in alternate for these concessions. If you happen to go in and take tremendous arduous traces on all the pieces, it’s most likely not going to work. Quantity six is a number of choices. Give the vendor some selection and so they is perhaps prepared to work with you and open right into a extra verbal negotiation. After which seven provide. Once more, generally if a property is sitting available on the market and also you make a suggestion and it will get rejected, come again a couple of weeks later with possibly a barely higher provide or possibly the identical phrases as a result of that home has been sitting available on the market and the vendor is perhaps extra prepared to take your provide.So don’t get discouraged. Maintain providing and keep in mind that it’s a numbers recreation. Once more, these are my seven suggestions for getting your provide accepted. So simply as a recap, right here’s the way you get a rental property below contract. The 1st step is to seek out offers with nice leads. Step two is to guage offers with nice instruments. And step three is to supply on offers with nice ways. And in the event you do that, I promise guys, you’re going to have the ability to get rental properties below contract. Now, I do know that even after you discovered these instruments and tips that I’ve given to you, for these of you who’re new or haven’t come to a webinar like this earlier than, actual property, it will possibly nonetheless really feel scary even understanding this stuff and it will possibly really feel like actual property is type of like leaping off a cliff or some excessive factor that you simply’re going to do, however it isn’t, I promise you, it isn’t.An excessive sport just isn’t base leaping or bungee leaping or no matter it’s, like climbing with buddies. You might be strolling uphill. Sure, it does take work, however you’re on a well-worn path and also you’re doing it one step at a time with a giant neighborhood round you with the fitting instruments in place which might be going that can assist you do that, proper? Let me persist with this analogy for a second. So simply persist with me. If you happen to had been occurring a hike, what do you convey with you, proper? You’d convey the fitting instruments like a map and a compass. You’d convey an skilled companions, proper?
