‘Building’ 7-Figure Wealth with ONE Very Lucrative Rental Property

Dave:
This investor made a hundred thousand dollars in his first 18 months, but that only paved the way for an even bigger deal. We’re talking really big about the potential to cashflow $7,000 per month with just a single property. Today we’re going to hear how he’s doing. Hey everyone, it’s Dave Meyer here with another BiggerPockets podcast episode, and our guest today is David Rosenbeck. And if that name maybe sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because he was on the Real Estate Rookie show back in March of 2023. It was episode 2 73 if you want to check that out. At that time when we last checked in with David, he was about a year and a half into his investing career and had generated over a hundred thousand dollars in revenue with just a handful of midterm rental properties focused on travel nurses. He used that portfolio to transition into a lower stress W2 job, and he got to spend some time traveling the country.
I wanted to bring David back onto the BiggerPockets network today because I think he’s just a very good example of how even a small portfolio can change your life if you pick the right strategies. He also demonstrates really well how to challenge yourself and scale your investing into bigger properties without taking on unnecessary risk. Right now, David has a development project in progress in Sedona, Arizona, and this deal has the potential to generate a huge equity pop when it’s finished. But I think what I really want to dig into as well is the way he’s structured his deal because I think it’s a great blueprint to follow even for newer investors who might have less aggressive strategies than David. So let’s welcome David back to the BiggerPockets Network. David, welcome to the show. Thanks for being here,

David:
Dude. Thank you for having me. Two Daves is better than one, right?

Dave:
Yeah, absolutely. This won’t be confusing at all for everyone listening. Well, we’re super happy to have you here. I know you were recently on the Rookie Show, the BiggerPockets Real Estate Rookie Show. If you haven’t, go check out David’s full story. But for those who haven’t listened yet, maybe you could just give us a brief background on how you got into real estate investing in the first place, what you were doing at the time. Full backstory here

David:
For sure. Yeah, so I started investing back in 2020, which seems to be the MO of a lot of people. Once Covid hits, people were looking around for alternative things. I was a nurse practitioner working in the hospital, and so whenever I was walking through the hospital, I was noticing that there was just half of the nurses that I used to know seemed like they were gone because they were travel nursing somewhere. And then the other half of nurses that were still there were traveling nurses that were coming from elsewhere because it was just basically a gold rush for nurses that wanted to travel somewhere and make a lot of money. And while I was walking around, I started asking them if I would have somewhere for you guys to stay that was furnished, would you guys be interested in that? And they said, oh my gosh, yes, that’d be amazing. And I’m originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana. That’s where I started. That’s where the majority of my portfolio is. And so I started with a house hack actually in Fort Wayne that had a carriage house outback.

Dave:
Oh, cool.

David:
So over the next 24 months, I worked myself up to eight doors, my wife and I. So just for a quick reference for what we had on our first deal, it was $150,000 property that we purchased and we put 5% down. It was like $8,700 out of pocket total, and it had the carriage house outback that was fully renovated, ready to go. We did some minor renovations to the main house. Our mortgage I think was $863 a month, and we were renting out that carriage house for $2,000 a month, traveling nurses coming through. And so not only were we living for free, but then also we were cash flowing like four to $500 a month off of our primary. So once that started hitting, then obviously I was hooked.

Dave:
Yeah, I mean that sounds like an amazing first deal and a good time to get into midterm rentals. 2020 was obviously a good time to get into investing in general, but it seemed like it was kind of just starting to hit its stride around 2020. And at least investor wise, I hadn’t really heard much about it prior to the pandemic. And like you said, I have friends who are nurses. It was a cash grab, a lot of nurses were going and getting paid huge sums of money to travel around and be at different hospital. So credit to you to take advantage and see the opportunity, but also being in a really good place at a great time, which is the whole key in opportunity recognition. So before we get into what you’re doing now, because we’re going to spend a lot of the show on that today, were you able to get most of your bookings just through work or were you putting it on furnish finder and finding guests from some of the traditional paths as well?

David:
I put it up on Furnish Finder and I put it on Airbnb as well. And at that time, early 20 20, 20 21, I would say about 75% of my bookings were coming from Airbnb because the travel nurses, they were making so much money, they didn’t care about the Airbnb fees, they didn’t care about any of that. They just needed a place to go so they could work and they could make money. But now probably about 50% furnish finder, 50% Airbnb, but still the majority of my bookings are transient workers. And whenever I originally started, I thought that it was just all going to be healthcare workers. My background, I understand healthcare, and that’s kind of like one of the main drivers of the economy in Fort Wayne is healthcare, but we’ve got some big factories around there as well. Google’s putting in a new plant for servers. Amazon just put in a couple of new facilities. So then I started getting a lot of other transient workers that needed to be there for three to six months. So the need for mid to rentals definitely has not slowed down at all.

Dave:
Fort Wayne just seems to be a really hot market in general, and there’s just a lot of growth. I’m more of a long-term rental investor, but when I look at the fundamentals, it’s one of those markets that always seems to pop up as being strong growth, but still relatively affordable. So it seems like a great place to be.

David:
Yeah, I saw you guys actually just posted a podcast about Indianapolis, and I was looking at that. I was like, well, I’ll see if I can sway his decision from Indianapolis to Fort Wayne.

Dave:
Yeah, well, I haven’t invested in either, but I like the Midwest generally. I think people who listen to this podcast know that. I did want to ask you though, you mentioned you got to eight doors relatively quickly. How did you finance eight doors and what was it eight different individual properties or what did the portfolio look

David:
Like? So it was our original house hack property, and then we did an accidental live-in Flip. My wife and I whenever we first got married. So we were living about an hour outside of Fort Wayne in the country where both of our families are from. We renovated that house and then once we decided that we wanted to move to Fort Wayne, because I was working in Fort Wayne and I was driving an hour and 15 minutes one way to work, and we were like, okay, if we’re going to be investing in Fort Wayne and let’s get you closer to work, let’s just move. So we sold that house and I think we made somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 or $50,000 on that live-in flip that we did. And then we bought the first property and then within a month or two, I was interested in college rental.
And so right there we were our first three doors and then we waited until after our 12 month period we were able to buy a new primary. And so then we left that house hack that we were in, made the main house a midterm rental, and we bought a townhome. And that townhome was actually in A-U-S-D-A zone, and so we were able to put 0% down for that property whenever we purchased it. And it was a brand new home, so I think it was 237,000 when we bought it. It was still under construction. Whenever we put in a deposit, we put a deposit of 3% down with the builder. But then whenever we went to the bank, they actually gave us that money back because it was a 0% down us. So we got kind of paid at the closing table with our own cash.

Dave:
That’s the second person in the last week who’s told me they’ve got paid at the closing table

David:
For

Dave:
Closing. Yeah, it was fantastic. I’ve never heard of this, but I mean now I’ve heard of it twice, but that’s such an amazing situation.

David:
Wow. Yeah, it was outstanding. So that got us up to four, and then we got the co-hosting property. So I count that as a door because we’re running it for another guy. And then we got the arbitrage unit that gets us up to six. And then we just bought a new primary residence in May of last year, I believe that had another house with a carriage house in it. So that’s how we got up to our eight. Yeah,

Dave:
Awesome. Great. So you own six, you’re co-hosting one, you are doing arbitrage on another,

David:
But

Dave:
It just sounds like a sort of a combination of hustle, owner occupied strategies, some of the classic ways that most investors can use to get at least the first handful of properties, and you did it relatively quickly. So that was over the course of what, three years?

David:
I think it was three years. Yeah.

Dave:
That’s quick. That’s great.

David:
Puddle jumping, that’s the way to do it. That’s why I always call it after 12 months, you have to have a very understanding wife, which luckily I do, and you have to be okay with moving, but at least if you’re furnishing properties and then moving into the next, all you have to do is buy furniture. You don’t have to move it staying there for the next guest that’s going to be staying

Dave:
Well. That’s true. Yeah. All right. Well David, congrats on all your success. It’s cool catching up with you. I do want to shift the conversation to what you’re doing now, but first we have to take a quick break, but before we hear from our sponsors, I want to remind everyone that right now we are selling early bird tickets to the BiggerPockets conference. If you haven’t or been to BB Con, it is so much fun. And this year we are heading to Las Vegas. Tickets are on sale now with a limited early bird pricing, which are a hundred dollars off the tickets if you haven’t been. It’s just this incredible opportunity to learn from experts but also build your networks, deals get done. It’s an amazing opportunity for a community to get together and grow together. So if you guys want to come to BB Con this year, hang out with the entire BP crew, go to biggerpockets.com/conference and get your early bird tickets today. We’ll be right back. Welcome back to the BiggerPockets podcast. We’re here with David Rosenbeck who was just telling us about how he scaled from zero to eight midterm rental units during the pandemic years. David, it’s cool hearing your backstory, but I’m curious to hear what you’re up to today. So catch us up from those eight units. What have you been up to?

David:
Yeah, so I got a remote job in May of 2022 and we traveled around for the next year and a half or so trying to decide where else in the US we maybe would want to invest. Plus we were just traveling around. I didn’t really want to hang my hat just on medium, medium-term rentals just in Fort Wayne, Indiana. And I started looking around towards other markets. I really like Cincinnati, I really like Cleveland, more Midwest markets that I could drive to if I needed to. But whenever I started thinking about expanding and going into other markets, the margins for medium-term rentals are good, but they started to get a little bit skinnier because there were more people getting into the game. And I started thinking, okay, if I have all of this extra free time and I have location freedom and I can basically do anything that I want to do, why not try and go for something that has a much bigger lever to it, if you will? And so the idea of developing something and then turning it into a short-term rental was the main idea behind that.

Dave:
Alright, great. You turn to development, which just for everyone listening is a great way to make money, but it is a risky strategy development. There’s a lot of different elements to it. There’s time risk, there’s labor risk, there’s regulatory risk, there’s pretty much everything, but the upside’s massive. So first of all, you seem like you’re a pretty risk tolerant person and I’m curious how you thought about taking on this risk in the context of your entire portfolio. You had this stable element of midterm rentals. Were you able to live off that income in case development didn’t go well for you in the future?

David:
Cashflow wise, I was making about $6,000 a month-ish from my portfolio from the medium term rentals. Oh, awesome. And so that money was just being set aside. And then I had my W2, which thankfully is a nice six figure salary as well, working remotely. So I knew that I would be okay, but also I didn’t have the cash to be able to do the project myself, and I knew I would need to raise money to be able to do it. And that was really the scary part for me. It was taking on somebody else’s cash to try and do a project. That would be the first time that I had ever done that. And so I did a lot of research and a lot of reading in regards to this. Matt Faircloth book was like my bible for a while. The Raising private capital book was absolutely phenomenal.
I have that highlighted and dogeared and noted to no end. And so that’s where I learned about the self-directed IRA option for raising private capital. So just a quick recap for people. If somebody has an old 401k and they’re not contributing to that 401k any longer, they can take those funds via a custodian company and they can transfer those funds from the 401k into a self-directed IRA and then they can lend that money out as a private money lender. And so I started reaching out to people and shockingly it was way easier than I anticipated. I think it was 45 days. I had a goal of raising 300,000 for my build, and I raised 330,000 in 45 days.
And so it was all from 4 0 1 Ks. I used a company called Equity Trust that I had learned from another investor friend of mine that had used them before. So that made me trust that process and it was very easy, very seamless. So whenever I went through this process, I was talking with my attorney to make sure that I was protected, make sure that my investors were protected. These were all people from my immediate network people that I knew. And so I wanted to make sure I was doing the best I could to protect their money. And so he wrote up a promissory note for me and my investors and the way that I structured my deal between myself and my private money lenders, I gave them two options, both of them, both options were on a 24 month note because that just wanted to give myself a little bit of wiggle room for how long I anticipated the development to take out here in Sedona. Then they could either do 12% interest with all of the interest paid on the backend, or they could do 10% interest with interest payments paid out monthly to that 24 months. So they either get all of their interest and their principal at the end of 24 months or they get interest over that 24 months and then they get all of their principal back at the end of that 24 months.

Dave:
If you want to learn any more about self-directed IRAs, that company Equity Trust is actually one of BiggerPockets partners and we have a bunch of their free courses on our website. I’ll put a link in the show description, but you can also find it at biggerpockets.com/blog/free-courses. Let’s take a step back. I think the structure here is super important and I want to talk about how you raise this money and given what you just said, which options like an LP or an investor in this deal would take. But let’s hear about the deal a little bit. So you mentioned Sedona, that’s far away from Indiana. How do you choose Sedona? Especially you’re switching strategies and you’re switching markets, which is something I’m always a little wary of to be honest. I think you could do one. Doing two at one time is risky, so why’d you pick taking two swings at one time?

David:
So really the main thing was networking. I got into a few different networking events with a lot of short-term rental people, and I knew that I wanted to get into the short-term rental space. I kind of kept picturing myself working with two arms. One arm is the stable base of medium-term rentals, and then probably even some long-term rentals in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It’s a very calm, easy, stable market and not much stress that comes in with that. And then in the other hand, then since I had the stability, I felt comfortable taking the big swing for the big cashflow of short-term rentals and the big equity gains of a development. And whenever we were looking at different markets, I had mentioned the Shenandoah Valley. We had friends that were actively investing in the Shenandoah Valley, somebody that actually did a ground up development out there.
So we knew that we could lean on their network of people if we needed to. And then also we had friends that were investing in Sedona and nobody that had done a ground up development in Sedona, but we had people that had investments out here. And whenever we were looking at the markets, it was in November and we looked at the weather in Shenandoah Valley and it was snowing and blowing and negative 10 degrees or something like, well, that’s not very good for development. So then we just kind of deduced it down to Sedona and used chat GBTI was kind of playing around with that to see what some of the stats were for Sedona and per sedonas Chamber of Commerce, I think for 2024, tourism was a billion dollar industry in Sedona with over 3 million visitors coming per year. And so their entire economy stands on tourism. That’s the only thing that keeps the town running.

Dave:
Alright, David, thanks for explaining the market. I want to ask you a little bit more details about how you made some of the decisions you just mentioned, but first we have to take a quick break. We’ll be right back. Welcome back to the BiggerPockets podcast. We’re here with investor David Rosenbeck talking about how he has transitioned from midterm rentals to ground up development in an entirely new market. Before the break, David mentioned that he did all this research and he’s building this custom purpose-built home for short-term rentals, but David mentioned six bed, seven bath. Why’d you pick that particular layout? How did you figure out what would maximize your return on this project?

David:
I worked with a gentleman named John Bianchi. He’s the air DNA data guy on Instagram. And so he’s incredible. He’s a good friend of mine and he’s one of the smartest guys that I know whenever it comes to researching markets. And so I reached out to him and his analysis of the market after he got done with it was basically the more bedrooms, more bathrooms you can get equals more cashflow. And he said that there’s a lot of four bedroom homes in the market. There’s a lot less five bedroom homes in the market, but there’s very few six plus bedroom homes. So he said if can hit that six bedroom threshold, he said, you’re going to be above and beyond everybody else in the market. And then with it being a brand new build and being able to tailor it to people that are traveling by putting an en suite bathroom in every single bedroom, it just makes it to where it’s going to be a really nice experience for everybody that’s coming through.

Dave:
I think this is a great, great lesson for anyone, whether you’re doing development or flipping or buying a rental property or bur whatever, this type of analysis into what supply is available on the market, what products are people offering and where is the demand, and when you can find that mismatch, that’s sort of the golden spot. I only own one short-term rental, but I did a very similar analysis to see that four bedroom plus in the market I am in. They were getting huge occupancy rates, huge ADRs, and there was just so many three bedrooms and I just started only looking for four bedrooms. Sounds like you took that to an even another level, which is awesome and are building something, but it doesn’t matter what strategy you’re approaching, finding an unmet need in the market that you’re investing in is just such an important element of trying to maximize your return. So it sounds like you did that super well. So can you give us a little bit of the timeline? Because you mentioned that you raised money, you found a market. What was the order of operations? Do you start with the property and a plan and then raise money or give us sort of an overview of your business model?

David:
So my thought process was I didn’t want to find the perfect piece of land and then scramble to find the money, but I knew that if I raise the money and I talked to my investors and I told them, I don’t have anything under contract yet, but this is what I’m specifically looking for. This is specifically what I want to build. And they were willing to fund the capital to me. And once the money hit my account, that started the 24 month time clock. And so then it naturally kicked my butt into gear and I had to find a piece of land. I had to get this project going because interest was accruing every month while I was doing that. And so that might be a little bit of a risky strategy for some people out there, but for me it was the fire that I needed to actually get the project rolling and make it move more quickly.
And so I came out here to Sedona. That was actually another big thing. Every investor that I raised money from, they were like, how are you going to do this from Indiana? And I said, I’m not. I’m going to move to Sedona. So my wife and I, we are currently living here in Sedona, Arizona, and so that we can lay eyes on the project every single day. We were able to look at every single lot that we were potentially buying, walk it. I can walk into the city office building and talk to the building directors. I can do whatever I need to do, and I just wanted to make sure that I was putting my money where my mouth was, if my investors were going to be putting up their money.

Dave:
Makes a lot of sense. I do invest passively. So I just have a couple questions about this. So you’re saying you went to investors and said, I want money to buy something. Did they have to write you a check or did they basically say that they would write you a check when things closed?

David:
So this is a debt model as to an equity model for a partnership. So they gave me the money so I have the debt towards them and it’s accruing the interest. And then once this project is done, we plan on doing a cash out refinance into a 75% DSCR loan and we should have more than enough equity to be able to do that cash out, refinance, pay my investors off, and then I own the property 100% free and clear.

Dave:
Got it. Okay. I mean, for your perspective, that makes a lot of sense doing a debt deal, especially if you’re raising money from people who aren’t real estate investors.

David:
Yes.

Dave:
They’re probably not going to be very value add to you in the course of developing this property. And even if they are too many cooks in the kitchen kind of situation can always arise with this. So that makes sense. I was very surprised.

David:
I just assumed me being a real estate person, I thought everybody would want equity. I thought every single person was going to want equity in the deal. And then I was talking with Janice Spitzer, I’m not sure if you guys are familiar with her, but she was like, David, why are you trying to give your equity away? I was like, well, I’m not trying to, but I just figured that’s what everybody wanted. She was like, no, she’s like, there’s plenty of people out there. They don’t want to get into the messiness of a partnership and owning real estate, and they’re a limited partner. They have 25%, they have to worry about it with taxes. They have to think about all these things by being an equity partner. She’s like, there are so many people out there that would be more than happy to know that the money that I’m putting into this, this person is guaranteeing that they’re going to give me 12% month after month for 24 months and I get my money back plus interest and they don’t have to think about it. It’s a very stable, easy

Dave:
Investment. Yeah. And did you do a personal guarantee on the debt?

David:
I did. It was helpful that I had my portfolio in Fort Wayne of properties, so there was some collateral if there were a default on the loan, but my lawyer and I, we were discussing and I said, what happens if we hit that 24 month timeframe? And there’s some sort of trip ups that happen along the way with this development and it goes past that 24 month timeframe. And he said, well, let’s talk with the investors and let’s see if they’re willing to put this clause into the contract. And I was very upfront told them all about it. They were all okay with it. What we do is if we hit that 24 month mark, if I’m not able to give the full amount back to them, then any outstanding balance principal plus interest now starts accruing at 15% interest.

Dave:
Oh, wow.

David:
So it sweetens the deal for them a little bit to where they’re like, okay, if David’s not able to deliver in 24 months, I’m just going to start accruing even more interest on my money that’s coming.

Dave:
Okay, got it. Yeah, and I’m asking these questions for everyone listening, because I think as an investor, if someone who wants to raise money, it’s really important to not just think about your own objectives, but put yourself in the position of the person who’s lending you money or who’s going to be your equity partner and understand what they’re thinking of, what they’re trying to get out of it. And it seems, David, like you did a really good job creating a win-win situation. David gets to keep all of his equity, he gets autonomy over the project. That’s great. Investors are essentially just giving him a loan that David has personally guaranteed. So if the project doesn’t go well, then David, hopefully this doesn’t happen, but your investors would’ve recourse to go after your other assets, right? Correct. So they could go after your portfolio. And so it does sound great for David, but just know that David put a personal guarantee on that so if things don’t go well, there will be repercussions. You can’t just sort of walk away from this deal and be like, oh, that one didn’t work. I don’t know if your investors would’ve signed a deal without a personal guarantee, but that’s sort of just why I was asking. Congratulations on getting this started. Where are you at now? Just tell us a little bit about the current status of the project and what’s going to come over the next few months.

David:
Yeah, currently it’s a pile of dirt, but we are working on getting our building permits submitted here shortly. And then we’re estimating it may take about a month for building permits to go through. And then once the permits are through, then we’ll start construction. So sometime late summer, early fall, we’re hoping to be completed with the project.

Dave:
And how do you find this builder? I imagine that’s sort of one of the main things as a developer to find somebody you trust?

David:
I vetted, I think five different contractors. I settled on my current one and then after I got my current contractor, I asked him for basically everybody that he’s built anything for in the last 24 months. And I got the numbers of seven different people that he had built for in the last 24 months. I called each one of them, talk to them very candidly. I was like, please, I’m putting a lot of money in this. I’m putting other people’s money at risk. Please tell me truthfully, is there anything I need to be worried about? And nobody gave me any red flags that pointed towards that I shouldn’t go forward with my current contractor. So I made sure that I put as many assurances in my pocket as I possibly could because that definitely is still the thing in the back of my head that has me a little, you never know.
You never know how it’s going to be until you actually dig into the project and start going. And then just so happened. This is another testament to why it was so important for us to be here on the ground in Sedona. Just naturally started meeting people here in the community. Met a guy that’s around my age that owns his own construction company here in Sedona, got to be buddies with him, bought him a few beers at the bar, and I was like, Hey, man, if my contractor, if he all of a sudden just falls apart or something happens or UFOs taken, whatever, are you able to help finish this project? And he said, absolutely. He said, I’ll get it done for you if he’s not able to finish it. So just putting those assurances in place, having backups on backups, fail safes, making sure that you are thinking ahead of anything that could possibly go wrong.

Dave:
I love it, man. I think that that’s just a very good perspective to have. And as someone who does a lot of passive investing, these are the kinds of things that I would be looking for to see an operator too, his really thorough due diligence and putting in those redundancies in place. Things happen, like you said, big time things happen, even if well-intentioned people sometimes can’t finish projects. It’s just nature of the business. And so thinking that one step ahead is such a great perspective to have. David, before we get out of here, give us the reveal. What’s this deal going to do? What’s the all in cost you’re going to have? What’s the A RV? What’s your expected return on this deal?

David:
Yeah, so playing with our numbers as of right now with my contractor from the contract that we have signed, our completed project should be in the neighborhood, turnkey ready to rent out to people should be all in at about 1.1 with the cost of the construction, the cost of the land and things around us are selling for anywhere between like 500 to $700 a square foot. And so that would put our finished product at about 2 million to two and a half million valuation. Amazing. That’s awesome. Let’s see. What do you think, Dave, if I had a million dollars in equity in this property, when do you decide sell it and just be done, take the cash and move it into the next project? Or do you do a cash out refi, pull a little bit of that cash out for the next project and keep it as an

Dave:
STR just for everyone following this. But what David’s saying is let’s just use round numbers. Let’s just say he’s in for a million and he could sell it for 2 million, right? He’s got a million dollars of equity here. If I’m getting you right, David, the question is do you just sell it and take a million dollars, which is super appealing, or you do a cash out refi, probably need to keep 25% equity in that deal, right? So you’re keeping 500 grand in the deal, you’re still walking with 500, which is

David:
Awesome.

Dave:
Which one do you do the refi or the full sale? So I guess I would be curious, two questions. One, what’s the return on equity going to be on that 500 grand? And if you haven’t heard that term, it’s very similar to cash on cash return, but basically calculate how much equity you have in the deal, calculate how much cashflow you’re generating, divide the cashflow by the equity, that’s your return on equity. And then the other question is could you just do this again, if you took out the million dollars, could you just do this again and have another big hitter? So those are the two questions I’d pose to you.

David:
Yeah, so that’s the plan. And I’ve asked a lot of people this same question and everybody’s like, you can’t sell that thing. You can’t sell. You got to hold onto it because to further dig into our numbers a little bit, we should be cash flowing somewhere in the neighborhood of six to $7,000 a month in free and clear cash flow.
And so that’s still a lot of money coming in, and that’s even accounting for having somebody run the property for us. And so with me being able to hand it off and still be making a really good amount of cashflow, I think that the no-brainer for me as of right now is to do the cash out refi, take the cash and pay off my investors, plus put probably three, 400,000 in my pocket that’s tax free. If I sold it, I’d have short-term capital gains and then wait 12 months. And then if I decide to sell it, I get out of those short-term capital gains into long-term capital gains or just hang onto it and then take that same investor cash, pay them back with their interest, and then ask ’em if they want to go run another round and see what they

Dave:
Think. Yeah. Yeah. I think it’s a no brainer here just to close the loop on the return on equity. If you were getting the high side of that at seven grand a month in cashflow, that’s $84,000 a year. If you have 500 grand in equity in that, that’s a 17% return on equity, which is fantastic. I mean, if you’re getting double digits at all, you’re probably going to be pretty happy in today’s day and age. 17% is great. So I just think if you want to generate cashflow for yourself, you’re not going to find anything better than that. And with 500 grand, you could probably put a down payment on another property and sort of have enough working capital to do this again, which seems like a win-win. Hold onto your asset, still have the flexibility to do it again. That’s awesome.

David:
Yeah, that’s kind of what I keep thinking, but the seven figure payout still keeps dangling in the back of my head, but I need to shove it away.

Dave:
Yeah, I know. It does sound cool, but got to think long term.

David:
Yeah.
