- dont eat fast food
you’re probably in the top 1% of the population
success isnt as much about being smart as it is about just not being stupid

Deal Deep Dive.
CLOSED!🙅🏽♂️
Last week my partner and I sold a 24-unit apartment complex.
We purchased it in December of 2021 for $2.5M ($104k/unit)
Friday it went to a new owner for $3.35M ($140k/unit)
Below I will give a full breakdown.
(Full financials below)
Analyzing a real estate deal in 30 seconds:
Market rent * unit count * 12 months * 95% occupancy = revenue
Revenue * market NOI margin = NOI
NOI / (purchase price + renovation costs) = stabilized yield
If stabilized yield is 200 bps > market cap rate, it’s worth looking into
This is a good question I get a lot so sharing:
I’d start with buying a SFH or duplex, learn the business, and grow slow from there… take time to understand RE, how to create value, debt obligations, organization, and PM. This is all hard stuff but owning something small 100% allows you to “focus” more since it’s a lot to risk, especially early on.
Lots of investors these days want to rush to buy a big apartment or RE deal with partners or syndication…especially without the “experience needed”. It’s dangerous to you and worse it’s dangerous to your partners and LPs.
And you don’t need to.
This isn’t about how many doors you have…
It’s about how well the doors you have cashflow, it’s about the equity you own, it’s about creating financial freedom.
Or at least this is my preference.
This is exactly what I did over a decade ago. Took me 2.5 years to afford to buy one SFH. I had nothing left in savings. Took me another 12 months to buy a duplex…but a slow start, can enable scale later on if done the right way.
Anyone under 30 years old should not even consider buying a home at this time.
Average home $436,000
The total annual outlay is $50,000 a year ($4200/mo) including:
• Interest
• Property taxes
• HOA
• PMI
• Maintenance
You can rent for under $2000 with no long term commitment, down payment & keep your mobility.
Buying a house is no longer the “American dream.”
@steelman3300@wademattingly Yeah, that would look really nice!
57 stone is relatively easy to come by?
I dread having to spread all of that rock around the property with a wheel barrel haha
@wademattingly@steelman3300 It’s funny you say that.
I asked because I had mulch on the perimeter of my property, and just as you have mentioned, I have had significant termite and carpenter ant damage (they seemed to target my LVLs)
Wood. Keep it FAR away from the property!
