223: 52 Lake Case Study: Increased Value from $3M to $5.2M!

2021-09-10

Today, I’m breaking down a 52 unit deal we recently purchased on the Gold Coast of Cleveland. We purchased it for $2.7M (total cost is $3M with the wholesale fee) and after it’s renovated it’s projected to have a stabilized value of $5.2M! Here’s where things get exciting: Once the renovations are complete, we’ll refinance at 75% LVR and be able to pull out $500k of tax-free refinance proceeds. And while it’s not a huge building with hundreds of units and millions in profit, we’re still going to have about $100k per year in tax free cash flow.

Here’s where things get exciting: Once the renovations are complete, we’ll refinance at 75% LVR and be able to pull out $500k of tax-free refinance proceeds. And while it’s not a huge building with hundreds of units and millions in profit, we’re still going to have about $100k per year in tax free cash flow.

Funny enough, this property was offered to me 15 years ago, but I let my lack of confidence and limiting beliefs hold me back. You’ll hear me explain why I could have made it happen back then, if only I had the mindset that I have today.

I will also walk you through our steps for acquiring the building, making upgrades, bumping rents, and increasing the value to $5.2M!

Key Takeaways

Negotiating the deal and making it happen after 2 years of persistence!
The steps we’re taking to push gross income up from $425k to $619K.
After renovations are complete, refinancing at 75% LVR should generate 500k in tax-free proceeds with enough equity to generate 100k per year in net-free spendable cash flow.
Never underestimate the power of a positive mindset.
Why I mistakenly turned down this deal 15 years ago.
Why networking is critical to your success in sourcing deals.
Confidence is a choice. It doesn't really matter what other people think of you, what matters is what you think of yourself.
Don’t let fear or a lack of confidence hold you back.
