Flip Tip Transcript:
Now, if you’re all in at 70% of the fixed up value, you have equity. Provided you’re buying in the Houston, Texas area, properties that are worth 130 or less… So if you’re buying at 70% of that, then you should be, in today’s fair market, cash flowing.
The way I always do it, is buy with hard money loan to rebuy. And by doing this, it’s protecting me. And I’ve got cash flow on all of my properties. One of the things I don’t want to do is be over-leveraged in this market because if you’re conservative in buying properties, you’re buying it with this kind of equity, even if the market dips 10%, you’re 30% lower than the next door neighbor that might want to rent out his property and you could drop your rents if you needed to. Those are little ways that I’ve internalized the process. And it’s worked for me, and I feel comfortable about my portfolio.
