    Hey Chandler! Any updates on this 4 plex? What became of those steps? Who was the right contractor? What if the siding was bad on the house? How would you address that? What if sections of the siding was badly damaged how would you go about that? I ask because it was an old place how would you match it if only sections of the siding needed replacement? This 4-plex looked like a dream! Thanks Chandler.

  • @joejohnson2087
    @joejohnson2087 5 лет назад +3

    Awesome video, thank you Chandler. Now may I ask why you decided to do a 1031 on a turnkey property? Isn't the name of the game for building wealth through RE investing is by adding value and refinancing or flipping? Even with a $100 increase in rents, would this be worthwhile holding factoring in mortgage/maintenance/vacancy fees? You would have to wait 5-10 years to build enough equity in this turnkey before you can refinance to cover fees and have enough to move on to something else. Thank you in advance for your time.

    • @ChandlerDavidSmith
      @ChandlerDavidSmith  5 лет назад +2

      The Average Moe I’m not sure I’m understanding your question. We did a 1031 exchange from a single-family residence that we had built up a substantial amount of equity in and we used all of the money from that to purchase this for Plex. This for Plex was purchased as a buy and hold investment. Does that answer your question? Or can you clarify?

    • @joejohnson2087
      @joejohnson2087 5 лет назад

      @@ChandlerDavidSmith My apologies for the confusion. You said you bought the SF for 215k and put a bunch of work into it, my assumption was you outsourced the work and paid for labor. You then said you sold it for 275k within 1-2 years and did a 1031 - how much equity was actually built in? 215k + labor costs seems like no equity if you only held for a year or two since its a SF. My point here is from my understanding of your deal you did not have that much equity built in for such a short period hold + the cost of the home + reno cost + closing costs. Exchanging the SF property for a turnkey would tie your money up since you cant further value add and flip/exchange for something bigger. You would have to wait a substantial amount of time and pay down the loan before you can use the money tied into this property and move on to something bigger. When people do a 1031, they usual advise into buying something bigger that needs work so you can repeat the same process as the prior house. Was your goal to stick with this a 4 plex long term? Any plans to flip or refinance? Just a heads up, I am a fan of your work - I don't mean to be rude, I am just trying to learn more from someone with more experience.
