Begin with the End in Mind • What do you want? • 1-3-5 year plan • Cash chunking
Box #1: Acquisition “The problem is we are consistently inconsistent.”- Larry Martel – KPHO TV5 Reporter
Acquisition Topics 1. Strategy (Niche) • Analyzing Deals • Writing Offers • Common Mistakes
Strategy (Niche) • Target Property • Target Neighborhood • Target Price Point • Target Rehab
My Niche • Single-Family detached homesonly • Minimum 3/2/2 • Tile Roof – Stucco Exterior • Valley-wide • $120,000 - $350,000 acquisition price • Light to advanced cosmetic rehab
Analyzing Deals • Every investor has their own “rules” for evaluating a deal • Most tools are built to help determine the investor’s Maximum Purchase Price (MPP) • A common rule is The 70% Rule: MPP = (ARV * 70%) – Rehab Costs • Most successful investors want something more detailed to help avoid potential losses
THE FLIP FORMULA MPP = ARV – Fixed Costs – Profit – Rehab Costs • ARV is the conservative resale value • Fixed Costs are all the fixed costs you incur • Profit is your desired profit on the deal • Rehab Costs are the costs to renovate
Example: 4708 E. Thunderhill MPP = ARV – Fixed Costs – Profit – Rehab Costs What is our MPP?
MPP = ARV – Fixed Costs – Profit – Rehab Costs ESTIMATING ARV
Estimating ARV • Do it like an appraiser would • Three approaches to analyze property value: • Sales Comparable Method • Income Method • Replacement Cost Method • For residential property, stick with Sales Comparison Method
What Is Sales Comparison? • Value based on what similar properties in the vicinity have sold for recently. • Vicinity = Preferably same subdivision or ½ mile. • Recently = Preferably past 3 months. • Similar = Age, Style, Size, Condition, etc
Here’s What I Know: • 4 bedroom homes are more valuable than 3 bedroom homes to most buyers. • 3 car garages are more valuable than 2 car garages to most buyers. • Homes with pools are more valuable than homes without pools to most home buyers. • Single-level homes are more valuable than two-level homes to most homebuyers.
Here’s What Else I Know: • Normal Sales - $112.38 $/SF • Short Sales - $76.58 $/SF • REOs - $78.42 $/SF • *Source – Cromford Report, 9/12/12
Here’s What I Don’t Know: • How much more value will a homebuyer and/or appraiser see in a property with these desirable features? • How much more value will a homebuyer and/or appraiser see in a home that’s not a short sale or REO?
Estimating ARV – An Inexact Science • Lack of supply • School District • Family • Busy Streets • Barking Dogs
Step 3: Compare Specs Valuation Adjustments:
Step 4: Normalize Values & Average Adjusted Values: ARV Range Low Value (ARV): $220,272 Average Value (ARV): $246,078
Step 5: Factoring Demand • How many active listings for sale in the vicinity? • How many active listings like this property are for sale (i.e.normal sale, 3 car garage, pool, excellent condition)? • How many like listings are pending? • How long were these listings active before they became pending?
Step 5: Factoring Demand (cont.) • NO active listings for like properties in the entire zip code of 85044 • Only one PENDING listing for like property in the entire zip code of 85044, $275,000 after 19 DOM
Example: 4708 E. Thunderhill MPP = $270,000 (ARV)– Fixed Costs – Profit – Rehab Costs
MPP = $270,000 – Fixed Costs – Profit – Rehab Costs ESTIMATING FIXED COSTS
Categories of Fixed Costs • Selling Costs • Commissions • Closing Costs • Home Warranty • TermiteTreatment • Purchase Costs • Inspection Costs • Closing Costs • Lender Fees • Holding Costs • Mortgage Payments • Property Taxes • Utilities • Insurance
MPP = $270,000 – $23,730 – Profit – Rehab Costs DETERMINING PROFIT
How Much Profit? • Profit Trade-Off: • Too much, unlikely you’ll get the deal at your MPP • Too little, introduces risk and lowers your income • Most investors tend towards 10-20% of resale price, with a minimum • Marty’s Criteria: 10% of ARV, 15K Minimum
MPP = $270,000 – $23,730 – $27,000 – Rehab Costs ESTIMATING REHAB COSTS
MPP = $270,000 – $23,730 – $27,000 – $12,025 PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
MPP For 4708 E. Thunderhill MPP = $270,000 – $23,730 – $27,000 – $12,025 MPP = $207,245 = 77% of ARV
MPP for 4708 E. Thunderhill • Sales Price: $269,900 • Acquisition Price: $200,000 • Fixed Costs: • Commissions $10,800 • Mortgage Payments $ 5,100 • Utilities/Insurance $ 700 • Closing Costs $ 5,000 • Rehab Costs: $14,700 • Total Profit: $33,600
Acquisition Strategies • Short Sales (MLS) • Bank-owned • Auction • Unlisted pre-foreclosures • Other motivated sellers
Writing Offers 5 Decisions Prior to Writing Your Offer: • Cash or Financing • Purchase Price • Earnest Money • Closing Costs • Contingencies • Due Diligence Period • Financing Contingency • Appraisal Contingency
Short Sale Offers That Get Approved • Days on Market Doesn’t Matter • The BPO (broker price opinion) is key • Provide BPO agent with comps • Document repairs
REO Offers That Get Accepted • On the market less than 3 days or more than 3 months • Offer at least 80% of list price • $5,000 minimum EM deposit • Need at least 5K in repairs • Low due diligence (3-7 days) • Have an agent on your side (either Buyer’s Agent or Listing Agent)
Buying at the Auction • The MPP formula still applies • Use a bidding service • Check title • Drive Report • Don’t get emotional
Unlisted Pre-Foreclosures • Direct Mail • Door knocking • Website • Voicemail
Common Mistakes • Clouds on Title (Auctions) • Assessments • Federal Tax Liens • Deed Transfers • HOA Issues • Getting Financing in Order
Rehab • First Steps • Team Building • What to Fix • Estimating Costs • Cost Control • Common Mistakes
First Things First • Secure the property. 2. Get insurance. 3. Turn on utilities. 4. Meet with trades. • Determine repairs.
