Only halfway through and this is so good. On my first new construction, JV… My partner is not very shadow friendly. -Listen to this guy, he knows what he’s talking about!
Thank you guys for this show and All the information from Donovan, It's refreshing to see people getting it done and making it happen. Thanks and Subscribed !
This is an excellent interview. This should give all newbies motivation....there are investors that will put money in a good deal even if you have no experience....that is good to know.
Hi Donovan would love to connect with the hard money lenders that you used that let you use your land as collateral. I’m an Architectural Designer getting ready to build and would like to look into that. Thanks!
I am so very impressed with your Accomplishments! You stated Plans & Permitting through the City of Houston (COH) would be 4-6 months but You also stated You would submit your Square Footage or Lot Size to a Design Company or Permitting Company On-Line & they would tell You if the Duplex Design would be feasible or not! Can You give the names of the Companies You have used! I want to do a 4 Plex but I am New to this! I have done 2 Duplex Renovations but the New Build is challenging as I have reached out to an Architect who stated he wanted a certain amount to do project & design. I need those numbers from the Architect & Engineer to project the cost of the Build! Any Suggestions? I’m also in the Houston area! Do You think 🤔 We could Link? I’d love to shadow You on a Job! Thank for the Wealth of Knowledge!
@@djwashx if you paid cash for lots and have a survey of the lot start on getting some blueprints (architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing drawings). Once you have a design/blueprints then contact construction loan lender

If you have land purchased and a recent survey decide on what sq footage you want your deplexes to be based on the sq footage of your land. Just know more sq footage more cost to build. Not sure what area you are in but find cost per sq ft to build in your area. New construction price per sq ft should be cheaper than remodel (no demolition cost). Then start the blueprints process
@@montrealbailey5322 Thank You! Funny You responded today b/c my Builder just texted Me & said He wanted to discussion an elevation, survey & plotting or is it platting! They are going to be 4 Plexes (Not Duplexes)! For the Designs I think $1.50 per sq Ft!
@@bigbizproperties4435 yes their gonna need an elevation certificate for you lot. It’s gonna show what current elevation your land is at and based on that you may or may not have raise the building foundation depending on if you are in a floodplain or not. From there you do the design/blueprints process. If it’s 1.50$ sq ft for blueprints that’s really good just make sure it’s a full set of blueprints (architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, & electrical)
Kool but I bought my first piece of real estate at age 19 in Polk county and I have over 16 units now including a 12 unit apartment buildin…I been out hea 🤷🏾♂️ lol
Hey man I mean your same position I wanna build It makes more sense to me as well I have my eighteen year old son here I want to get him started in the real estate the right way If you can lend your expertise and maybe Teach us both I appreciate you Send me away so we can talk when you Free
Why do you think that? He’s not using any of his own money. Almost impossible for him to lose money. As long as he doesn’t get sued for anything stupid he’s golden. This guy is AWESOME!!!
This is my 4th time watching this video. Truly incredible. “Be like Donovan” instead of “Be like Mike”
You are too kind!
Wrong way to look at it. Mike inspired donovan. Without mike there is no donovan.
When you have the right network in place the money is there for a solid deal. Kudos to this young man.

They asked great questions that would normally not get asked. Thank you

High level problem solving right here!!
Thank you so much information in each podcast 🔥🔥 Great questions !!
This kid is dropping jewel’s thank to the interviewers.
Definitely good stuff !!
Wonderful Wonder interview informative information of knowledge thank you
Imagine what Donovan will do with 10 years of experience😮
I’ve never built a duplex before. To get the construction loan, do they check your DTI?
My guy Donovan!!
Yup this is just up my alley
Don’t be like me, 3 years on my first house hack solo lol. He’s quite the accomplished investor! Good for him.
wow he's incredible! I wish I'd had the guts to do stuff like that when I was in my twenties!
this guy is amazing!
Thanks!
Awesome.
Hi, who was the architect in Houston that designed your affordable duplexes?
Thanks,
What is the construction cost sf?
What would u do, if while building 14 houses, the price of the house goes down tp%
I totally understand 💯
Hi Donovan would love to connect with the hard money lenders that you used that let you use your land as collateral. I’m an Architectural Designer getting ready to build and would like to look into that. Thanks!
Definitely because everyone I contacted said no and my lots are worth over 100k

40 percent return per investor or as a whole to split between all involved in the investment
GO DONOVAN GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🏆
How do you get a 40% return on new construction?
Motivation
Who's name(s) did the financing?
good show. only issue is contractors are so busy ,$295 sf to build and can one get water meters some area s that is $25k
Im in Texas in Houston and the cost per sq ft to build new construction is not $295. It's significantly lower. I know because I'm doing one right now
Meh,. im outta money.. guess I'll build a hotel.. hehe.. thanks for the video!
How much was the building cost for each duplex?
$215k more or less
Land was $40k
Plans and permitting another $10k
Closing cost + interest $10k
@@donovana.6177 What was the size of the land and what general contractor did you use?
@@donovana.6177 subscribed.
@@donovana.6177 Are you going to be posting video tours of your completed builds? That would be a cool first real estate video.
@@donovana.6177 Thanks for sharing. Did you come out of pocket on these after your initial deal or did your investors put up 100% of the money?
"for sure"
how did donovan find his general contractor?
I guess I'm too old 'cause I've never heard of this 'house hack' thing.
James who in Seattle?

"Im paying this much for a high rise in Houston and still getting no bitches? ah man forget this" lol jkjk I know he didn't say this..

Are you still looking for partners?
Hey I actually have a waitlist right now but always looking to connect with partners!
The specifics of these deals were unknown. He gives no numbers.
I gave all the numbers
Yes he gives the complete breakdown 42:43
He’s kinda , not giving good details , of how he went from point a-z .. so either it’s a sham or he really is naive lol
He will be broke within 5 years.
Why do you think that? He’s not using any of his own money. Almost impossible for him to lose money. As long as he doesn’t get sued for anything stupid he’s golden. This guy is AWESOME!!!
He will definitely be more successful in 5 years 🙏🏿
