Talk Investment Strategy
The repair estimate makes or breaks the deal
An investment only works if the price, the repairs, and the rent or resale all line up. Most investors get hurt in the same place: the repair estimate. A house that looks like a deal on paper can turn into a money pit once the walls are open.
I came to real estate through owning, building, and flipping homes myself. My dad always had rentals, and I grew up seeing how they work. That's why I look at repairs before anyone falls in love with a kitchen.
How I help investors
A contractor's read before the offer. I'm a licensed general contractor. On any serious property, I tell you what I see and roughly what it's going to cost. Always get a professional inspection too.
Numbers before emotion. We look at the price, the likely repairs, and what the property could rent or resell for, before you write anything.
An honest exit. Before you buy, we talk about how you get out: who would buy this property later, what it would need first, and how long a resale might take. A deal that only works if everything goes right isn't a deal.
A search set to your numbers. Rental, flip, or long-term hold, the search follows your strategy, not someone else's wish list. I'll connect you with lenders for investment financing, and you choose.
Serious buyers only. If you're ready to buy the right property and close, I'm a strong partner. I'm not the right fit for thirty lowball offers that never close.
From inspection to the work after
During the inspection period, usually 17 days, I read every report as a contractor and help you price what it finds. That number feeds straight back into your offer strategy.
After closing, you get my vetted vendor list for repairs and maintenance. You hire who you want, and I take no markup or referral fee. Read the full investor plan.
Nothing here is tax or investment advice. If you're considering a 1031 exchange or have tax questions, talk with your CPA and a qualified intermediary before you buy or sell.
