In webinar #3, Charles Roberts analyzes a property he helped a client close yesterday (Yes – yesterday! August 14th, 2017). He uses Joe Massey’s spreadsheet to analyze the property. We have a detailed discussion of common investing metrics – cash-on-cash, cap rate, and GRM (gross rent multiplier)
We had great questions from the audience!
- What are the situations where you normally recommend an acceleration clause?
- Do you have an overall average % of income that you use to estimate (i.e.25%) your overall operating expenses (less mortgage)?
- Can you talk about how you prequalify complexes to find out if they’re lend-able – owner occupancy rates?
- Are there any building permits needed to convert the open space to a bedroom to charge the increased rent you have mentioned?
- What’s a reasonable cash on cash percentage?
- How did you figure out the 5 year after-tax return? And what is a good range for the GRM?
- How often do you re-analyze these metrics and what is your exit strategy and when do you execute it?
- Beginner question…Is it less advantageous to pay cash for investment properties than to finance with 20% down?
- Do you consider what’s going in the neighborhood, or whats nearby (good school, highway, park, etc) when considering an investment property?
- If you had to choose, would you prefer to acquire single family or an attached property?
