01 — The markets

Hover a market to place it

The markets where deals still cash flow.

These four are where the arithmetic still works: stock starting in the five figures, rents that clear it, and — for the investors who want the added security of a voucher tenancy — housing authorities that have been paying on time for years. They are not interchangeable. Each has its own inspection culture, submarket lines, tax treatment and pace, and those nuances are what decide whether a deal works.

02 — INVESTMENT THESIS

The investment thesis.

Target CoC

12–16%+

What we write deals to in the current debt market — the number every other part of the thesis serves.

01

Low barrier to entry

Stock at $75k–$150k. A first purchase is a down payment, not a decade of saving, and the exposure on any one house stays small.

02

Turnkey, or BRRR

Buy it already rent-ready, or buy below market, renovate, rent, refinance and repeat the capital into the next one.

03

Voucher tenancy

Most of the rent paid directly by a housing authority, against a waitlist of applicants. Government-backed income, not a credit score.

04

Return is cash flow

Underwritten on cash-on-cash return, month by month. If it does not clear on operations, it is not a deal.

05

Loan pay off

Thirty years of amortization funded by the tenant. Equity accumulates without further contributions from you.

06

Appreciation

Relatively flat in some of these markets, real growth in others. Welcome when it arrives, never underwritten for.

03 — INDEPENDENT UNDERWRITING

A sense check before you commit.

How it runs

01

You send the deal

The link, the asking price, your repair estimate if you have one, and the return you need it to make.

02

We look at it independently

No side in the transaction and nothing riding on the answer. Location, condition, strategy, and every assumption underneath it.

03

One page comes back

Where it stands up and where it does not. If it is a no, we will usually tell you the price at which it would not be.

04

What it costs

Nothing to sign. If you buy through the agent we introduce, their brokerage pays us out of its own commission.

What we look at

One page back

The property

Location Street, submarket, demand
Condition What it will really need
Strategy Whether it fits what you are doing

The assumptions

Rent Against what the market pays
Taxes On what it will be worth to you
Insurance For this location and use
Repairs Up front and ongoing
Debt The terms in front of you

The outcome

Cash flow What is left each month
Returns What the money is actually earning

Where we land

Stands up, does not, or stands up at a different number — and what that number is.

04 — WHY YOU NEED A LOCAL LICENSED REALTOR

Your local realtor is the most important decision you will make.

We have ONE preferred licensed realtor on the ground per market.

REQUEST INTRODUCTION TO REALTOR

WHAT A GOOD REALTOR DOES

Shows you the street, not the house. The walkthrough pans out, and you hear about next door before you write the offer.

Reads the inspection before you do. Marked up, split by trade, and back to you with estimates.

Knows the local process. Inspection and permitting by municipality, priced in rather than discovered at closing.

Prices the rent honestly. What comparable units are approved at, not what the pro forma claims.

Brings the rest of the team. Management, contractors, inspection and insurance, handed over the day you close.

COMMONLY OVERLOOKED WITHOUT A LOCAL LICENSED REALTOR

Block-to-block variance

Two streets apart can be two different markets. Nothing in the listing tells you which one you are buying into.

Municipal code variance

Rental registration, inspection and permitting change at the city line. Missed, it surfaces after closing.

Housing authority nuances

Inspection standards, approval timelines and what rent actually clears differ by authority. What one pays, the next will not.

The stock itself

Era of construction sets the risk: systems, foundations, wiring, plumbing. The same price buys very different liabilities.

What the rent really is

What comparable units are approved at today, not what the pro forma claims.

Deals before the market

Off-market inventory and listings still in prep never reach you without someone local.
