case study on 6104 Walnut Hills Small Group Investment / Syndication

Leave a comment

A case study on 6104 Walnut Hills Small Group Investment / Syndication

This was a small group investment also known as a syndication that I completed in 2004/2005.   It was a duplex needed major repairs so I put together a small group to participate with me in the completion of the purchase, rehab and ultimate selling of the property.   Despite several surprises we ultimately sold the property and made a tidy profit for both the money investors and for myself.   

Please see the attached PDF’s the first of which was my prospectus to the Investors some of whom are members in the REICA group and I hope they felt good about the returns they received ((at least I think that they did))   Maybe one of them will come out and testify about this investment opportunity for the good of the group.   (You know who you are!))  

The final outcome came to a 46% return on investment for the money investors and a pretty good return for me as well!   Check out my budget and how the money was spent to see some of the details of what it should look like when you get started in one of these rehab/syndication deals.

To summarize this one I bought it for 33K and got my money partners to put up 40K and went to the bank and got another 40K to rehab it and we sold it for 140K.   We had some budget overruns (small ones) and almost got sued over it ((that’s another story)), but it turned out great for everyone involved! 

This was the last of my small group investments / syndications!   Now I will only do bigger syndications for bigger properties but it was a great stepping stone in my learning and growth as an investor.   If you want to know why I am against small group investments please send me a private email or post it to the REICA group and I will respond to you.  

I hope that this inspires some of you to go out and begin to put together small groups to help you further your investment goals.

 

Post your questions to the REICA board and I will answer some of them if any or send me a private email at Ron@theseaygroup.com.

Property description

 This property is a major fixer upper.   It needs everything!   Well just about everything.    A/C work, Doors, Electrical, Flooring, Landscaping, painting Plumbing roof patching, trash removal, tree trimming, Windows.   I am talking A-Z on the list of repairs.    Lots of the jobs appear to be small jobs that someone who has moderate rehab skills could tackle.   But make no mistake about it this is not for the faint at heart!   This is a rehab!!

 The value is in the lot.     The property has the lowest list price in the neighborhood.   Take a look at some of the other properties on the market.   This property could easily be cleaned up and turned into a small rent house or replaced with a home in better condition.    It is on a culdesac so there is no thru traffic and sits at the top of the hill with good views of the surrounding area.   There are beautiful houses going in just off 1431 and the growth is moving toward this property.   The area has been growing tremendously over the past few years.   Please click the following link for a demographics study.

 If the property was closer to my other investments I would consider turning it into a small rent house and renting it out for $500 per month to $650 per month and holding it for a couple of years while the growth continues then selling it for $75K or so.

 

Property History

 The property was purchased as a foreclosure by the current owner and has been sold and repo’d several times and has never received the property attention that it needed to make it a wonderful home.   Now the owners have bigger and better projects to work on and want to find the right person who can love this property back to health and productivity.  

 In the past it has gotten people who have occupied it but never loved it the way it needs and consequently the lack of love has shown!

 If you are the right person and want to make a cash offer the owners are willing to consider taking a discount on the property in order for you to be able to make it work.   Just submit your cash offer and it can be considered!   We are investors and will not be offended by a low offer.

 If you need owner financing we are looking for someone who can put down at least about 10% and who can afford payments of at least $250 per month with a 10% interest loan.   That sounds easy enough but doing the 10% down and 250 a month is the easy part it is the fixing of the property that will require hard work and money to get it done.

These figures are only estimates and you should hire a professional to fully investigate.

 

Many of the figures are very rough and include paying professionals to do some if not all of the work.   It may be possible to get the numbers lower but you would need to investigate that possibility on your own.

 

 

Rental Analysis

 

If the property were purchased and repaired and turned into a rental my analysis indicates that the property would generate a 21% average annual cash on cash return and a 30% total return if held for 5 years and sold for $75K.   The rental rate that was used was on $650 per month.   For a three bedroom two bath house that is cheap, but the property is far out and that has to be taken into consideration when factoring the rental amount.   If the sales price could be achieved before the 5 year term the return would rocket skyward!

 

To see the analysis please click for link for the property analysis.

 

Flip Analysis

 

If the property was flipped quickly without doing any repairs just remarketing the property the price could probably be bumped up by $15K for a total of $45K.   If the new seller owner financed the property for $1K and payments of $350 per month and a 15% interest rate then the return on investment would be $1,200/$1,000 = 120% per year!  

 

 

But for analysis purposes lets assume that the initial investment is $3K and then the underlying payment on the first note is $250.   The cash flow generated would be $100 per month or $1,200 per year.   The return on investment would equal $1,200/$3,000 = 40% return per year!

 

 

If the property was given a cleaning and trash removal then the flip price could easily be pushed upward as the property would appeal to a wider range of potential buyers.  

 

 

Owner Financing

If you would like to purchase the property with owner financing I have attached the following documents for you to fill out to submit your information to us as part of the contract.   

Application

I have also attached some examples of the note and deed of trust and other documents that will be a part of the financing package.    If you have any questions about them please don't hesitate to ask, but note that in no way, form, or fashion should any information be construed as legal advise.   If you need legal advise please consult your attorney.

Property description

 This property is a lot for a manufactured home.   It has a concrete drive way and all the utility hookups.   There used to be a home on the lot but it has been moved.   The cars belong to the neighbor who keeps the lot cut for me in exchange I let him park his cars on it.   It is in a subdivision of other manufactured homes.   This property is most ideal for an investor who wants to put a house on the lot or a family looking for a lot for their manufactured home.   http://jm117.com/ is a link to a development right around the corner from this lot that has lots starting at $40,000!   

 There is a new middle school being built around the corner and it should be open in 2008.   The elementary school is not far away either.   The lot is one of the larger lots in the neighborhood.    Take a look at some of the other properties on the market.   There are several new subdivisions being built in the area and this should cause the value to go up as those new properties come online and pull the value of this property up.    

The area has been growing tremendously over the past few years.   Please click the following link for a demographics study.

 

 

Property History

 The property was purchased as a foreclosure by the current owner and has been vacant since its purchase.   It has been kept in decent shape and is now ready to received the attention that it needs to make it a wonderful home site.   Now the owners have bigger and better projects to work on and want to find the right person who can love this property the way that they used too.   In the past it has gotten people who have occupied it but never loved it the way it needs to be loved.

 If you are the right person and want to make a cash offer the owners are willing to consider taking a discount on the property in order for you to be able to make it work.   Just submit your cash offer and it can be considered!   We are investors and will are offering owner financing on the property.

 If you need owner financing we are looking for someone who can put down at least about 10% and who can afford payments of at least $250 per month with a 10% interest loan.   That sounds easy enough and it is!

If you then sold the house for $85,000 you would generate a profit of roughly $36,600.   If you use the owner financing on the lot for $3K down plus paid cash for the other development costs your return on investment would be $36.6/$21.4 = 171.02% if you got a cash buyer.   If you had to owner finance the sale to a new buyer then your annual return would be different.   If you got $8,500 down and $700 P & I per month then your return would be calculate as follows.   $700 – $250 lot payment = 450 cash flow x 12 = $5,400 / $(21,400 – 8,500=) 12900 = 41.86% per year!!!

Offer on a foreclosure in Austin

3 Comments

This week I made an offer on a foreclosed property this week.  It was listed for 69K but I only wanted to offer 45 to 50K.  Why such a low offer on an already reduced priced house?    The house originally had a loan on it for over 133K and I only wanted to offer 45 to 50K b/c of the foundation issues that will require a foundation repair and will forever impair the salability of the house.   In addition the plumbing will most likely require some repair if not today sometime in the near future b/c of the foundation work that is needed.    Can this house be financed today?    Continue reading Offer on a foreclosure in Austin →
