James Davis:
So I’ve all the time liked watching you guys. I actually preferred Graham Steffen and meet Kevin on-line. Certain,

James Davis:
Rising up in highschool, I watched these channels, so I feel I all the time wished to be invested in actual property. It was only a query of when and after I was 18 and I truly moved out of my dad and mom’ place and I used to be a live-in aide at a nursing house. So what it appeared like is I didn’t should pay any hire.
I acquired to dwell there. I deal with this man. He was a Vietnam Warfare veteran and I took care of him. He paid for my meals and housing and I didn’t should pay something, which was very nice. So it was a very good setup and my uncle reached out to me, he was an actual property agent, and he was like, Hey, I’ve this property that I feel you must make investments it. And in my thoughts I used to be like, oh, I don’t pay any hire. I may dwell right here for some time. I’ll simply save extra money. I don’t want to purchase a property proper now. And that was July of 2019. So he was suggesting like, Hey, simply use your financial savings. You’ll have a down fee. It was like a home hack state of affairs the place I’d dwell within the basement and I had a separate entrance, after which I’d hire out the upstairs, however it will be like $15,000, which was the whole lot I had. So I made a decision, okay, yeah, I wish to take this on. That was July, August of 2019, and it was truly a vendor finance.

James Davis:
Oh, cool.

James Davis:
And that is my uncle setting all of it up. I had no thought any of actual property contracts or something, how that labored, and I had simply graduated highschool.

Dave Meyer:
It sounds such as you walked into an attention-grabbing alternative together with your uncle. So he got here up with this home hack. I’m curious, an effective way to get began, particularly in 2019. I’m positive it labored out nicely, however did you have a look at different offers or have been you type of simply trusting your uncle? Like this one which he’s proposing to me, it’s vendor financing. It is a whole lot.

James Davis:
Yeah, I didn’t have a look at the rest. I had full trusted him, and searching again, I’m like, wow. I used to be fortunate, and I’m lucky that I had somebody in my life that cared about me and didn’t benefit from me. He completely may have.

Dave Meyer:
Certain.

James Davis:
Yeah.

Dave Meyer:
However so was it in a neighborhood you preferred? Do you know the place it was otherwise you simply type of shifting right into a home blindly primarily based in your uncle’s suggestion?

James Davis:
Once I went to the neighborhood, in fact it wasn’t the most costly facet of city, nevertheless it wasn’t horrible both. We name it West Valley over right here.

Dave Meyer:
Okay, cool. And so you discover this home hack, you bought to place 15 grand in, that’s your entire life financial savings at this level. Oh, yeah. However you’re shifting from what was your job, proper? As a result of residing with this veteran you have been residing with was type of the way you have been getting earnings. So did you’ve got a brand new plan for a way you have been going to make your mortgage funds or have been you residing free of charge

James Davis:
On the time? I used to be making 16 bucks an hour at a name middle.

Dave Meyer:
Oh, wow. And you then have been doing DIY renovations to it on the identical time?

James Davis:
Oh, yeah. And that is on the time the place I had no thought what I used to be doing both. And what I had accomplished is I lived within the basement, it had that separate entrance. There was no kitchen, not even a toilet down there. After which I rented the upstairs straight away.

Dave Meyer:
Okay, however how did you go to the toilet?

James Davis:
It was humorous. I had a fitness center membership and I needed to strategically try this and I labored downtown on the name middle, so I might go to the fitness center, to not work out or something. I might simply go there to take a bathe,

Dave Meyer:
Simply to make use of the bathe

James Davis:
After which do the whole lot after which go to work that method.

Dave Meyer:
Oh, wow.

James Davis:
I didn’t have a bathroom for 3 months. Oh my

Dave Meyer:
God.

James Davis:
Yeah. I didn’t have a bathroom, I didn’t have a bathe, and that was my first aim was to attempt to get that.

Dave Meyer:
Properly, I think about that’s fairly motivating for while you’re doing all your DIY. It’s like I acquired to construct myself a bathroom not less than.

James Davis:
After which on prime of that, so I had the down fee for 15 and I knew I wanted about 15 or so in work, and I ended up spending about $12,000 on the renovations. I did all of it alone.

Dave Meyer:
And the way’d you pay for that? Was that simply extra financial savings or your earnings out of your job?

James Davis:
It was my earnings from my job. Each paycheck. I simply threw it at Residence Depot principally going and getting supplies and doing the whole lot. After all, I knew the right way to do one thing, however then I needed to wait till I may purchase what I wanted to purchase, which was actually powerful, particularly with the psychological load of the balloon fee coming due

Dave Meyer:
For positive.

James Davis:
My uncle was like, Hey, in case you don’t end it in a yr, it’s due. And if it doesn’t appraise, then you may’t hold the home principally. So

Dave Meyer:
Everybody understands. Generally while you do a vendor finance deal, the vendor will say, Hey, yeah, I’ll float you for a yr, however I’m not going to amortize this mortgage over 30 years like a financial institution. They’re principally like, I’ll offer you a yr to determine this out, however in a yr you owe me all of your cash. And that’s form of within the type of a balloon fee. And so what James was going through is that in a yr he had to determine a strategy to refinance, or I assume the vendor may technically foreclose on you or attempt to take the property again, however you’re additionally coping with this factor, you wish to go shortly to renovate, so you may refinance, however you’re utilizing cash out of your name middle job to pay for that. So how lengthy did it truly wound up taking you earlier than you could possibly full the renovation and get that refi?

James Davis:
It took me eight months, and I feel it most likely would’ve gotten accomplished in two, perhaps if I had the cash straight away. However I needed to do a simply paycheck by paycheck. I added a kitchen down there, I added a toilet, I did all of the plumbing, {the electrical}, the whole lot.

Dave Meyer:
And also you taught your self all that?

James Davis:
Yeah. There’s a very good e-book. I feel it’s referred to as Residence Enchancment 1, 2, 3. It’s one thing from Residence Depot. Truly, my uncle really helpful it and I learn it and it exhibits all the essential stuff in case you didn’t wish to undergo YouTube, however I used YouTube a ton, and despite the fact that it was actually exhausting, I keep in mind being very glad on the time and simply being like, I do know that this may assist me sooner or later. I simply acquired to get it accomplished, put my head down and work on it. I didn’t also have a mattress. I had a sleeping bag that I used to be sleeping on. There was no flooring. It was a concrete ground and it was simply I used to be the definition of home pour on the time.

Dave Meyer:
Good for you, man. I imply, that’s an unbelievable quantity of hustle to get it accomplished. You simply discovered an extremely artistic strategy to get into your first deal and labored your butt off and private sacrifice for eight full months principally to have the ability to try this. Not everybody’s going to do it that method, however kudos to you, man. I imply, you took accountability and also you labored your butt off to have the ability to try this, and hopefully it labored out for you financially. Whenever you have been accomplished with the renovation, what did you’ve got? Since you had the unit upstairs now, so what did the ultimate product appear to be while you went to use for the refi?

James Davis:
I had an appraiser are available for the refinance and so they appraised it, the two 85, which implies the mortgage to worth was 80%, I feel.

Dave Meyer:
Good.

James Davis:
So my mortgage two 20, which implies I didn’t have PMI and I acquired a 3 7 5 rate of interest.

Dave Meyer:
That will need to have felt good.

James Davis:
Yeah, it did. And it was June of 2020 after I closed on the refinance. So I used to be in a position to lock in that charge for the 30 years on a standard mortgage as an alternative of an FHA, and my fee ended up being 1300 with the PITI.

Dave Meyer:
And the way a lot hire have been you getting upstairs?

James Davis:
So through the renovations I charged 1100, however afterwards I used to be in a position to do 1300. Wonderful. The hire coated my mortgage fee.

Dave Meyer:

Now your upstairs tenant is paying your principal, your curiosity, your taxes, and your insurance coverage. So just about your greatest prices. I’m positive there was nonetheless repairs and different prices, however given that you simply simply did an enormous renovation, not less than the basement unit was most likely in fairly fine condition. And in order that’s only a house run deal. That’s unimaginable. I hope you continue to have that 3.85% rate of interest on that deal.

Welcome again to the BiggerPockets podcast. I’m right here with investor James Davis. We heard about this superb home hack he did in Salt Lake Metropolis again in 2019. James, after you pulled off this unimaginable effort of hustle and creativity, what did you do from there?

James Davis:
Yeah, so truly January of 2021, I left and I served, it was a mission for my church, so I left and I used to be residing within the Detroit space for 2 years.
So I had household that really lived within the property and so they took care of it whereas I used to be gone, whereas I used to be there in Detroit. And if anybody is aware of what a mission is such as you don’t actually have entry to expertise or what’s happening on the planet, however after I got here again two years later, I noticed that actual property values had doubled in my space. So my mortgage was round two 20, however yeah, it was across the $400,000 vary that it was price. So I got here again February of 2023 and taking the recommendation from what I’ve heard from BiggerPockets and the opposite actual property buyers, I went and I utilized for a heloc. So I acquired my HELOC authorised for 100 thousand {dollars}, June of 2023, after which this wholesaler despatched me this deal September of 2023 for the one household property that wanted lots of work, nevertheless it was a sub two deal. Okay, attention-grabbing. The vendor didn’t have any fairness. They purchased it again in 2021, however they’d two loans on it, so it was the unique mortgage plus they acquired a mortgage on their down fee. It wasn’t a pre foreclosures, nevertheless it was getting near that.

Dave Meyer:
And the way do you method that while you see a state of affairs like this, how do you construction a deal that is sensible for you and hopefully for the household that you simply’re taking the mortgage over for as nicely?

James Davis:
For this one, what we did, we again paid all these mortgage funds, so I made positive the whole lot was present, after which they acquired $5,000 too on prime of that. So as an alternative of getting to come back out of pocket, they acquired $5,000. And I paid for all of the closing prices too and the wholesale price too. And it’s good for them as a result of they’re on this state of affairs, in the event that they tried to promote with an agent, they must repair up the property, they’d should take care of all that, and it will be like a a number of month ordeal most likely,

Dave Meyer:
And possibly a 6% fee.

James Davis:
Completely. So with a sub two, they don’t have to do this.

Dave Meyer:
Proper.

James Davis:
And that’s type of the promoting level as a result of lots of people don’t learn about it, particularly the sellers. So while you’re attempting to speak to sellers about sub two, it’s important to say, Hey, you get fairness, you receives a commission to get out of this and also you don’t should take care of the fee anymore. After which if I don’t make the fee, you may have the place again and all of the funds I’ve made, you may have that too. In order that’s how I’ve structured it. And I feel additionally secret’s having a very good title firm that’s handled it earlier than, and you may attain out to title corporations and say, Hey, have you ever ever accomplished sub two offers? Have you ever ever accomplished vendor financing? That is what I’m eager to do. Have you ever guys had expertise with that? And there’s undoubtedly escrow officers which have extra expertise than others. So having these folks with expertise is I feel actually key

Dave Meyer:
For positive. Yeah, I imply that’s actually good recommendation as a result of with topic two, proper, there are dangers to each the vendor and the customer. For a purchaser, there’s a threat that the financial institution may name the observe do. What are the dangers to the vendor? I assume perhaps I ought to ask you.

James Davis:
Yeah, the dangers to the vendor is it’s nonetheless on their credit score. So the mortgage continues to be there, so if I don’t make the fee, it may have an effect on them nonetheless. So if somebody pulls their credit score, they nonetheless have to clarify, Hey, this can be a mortgage that sure is underneath my identify, nevertheless it’s a substitute and so they should show that in the event that they have been attempting to get loans sooner or later. So there are downsides in that method, however I feel the professionals outweigh the cons the place they will get out of a state of affairs that they actually don’t wish to be in anymore and so they can receives a commission to have the ability to get out of it, which is good as a result of generally with properties that want lots of work, you virtually really feel such as you’re benefiting from folks while you purchase them. And I hate feeling that method. I hate feeling like I’m benefiting from somebody’s struggling. However with sub two, I really feel such as you’re providing an answer for a very powerful state of affairs that they’re in and also you’re giving them a method out that’s artistic that sure, there are dangers, however I acquired their rate of interest, which was three and a 5% in 2023.

Dave Meyer:
I feel topic two is form of a controversial factor. I feel so long as you perceive the dangers and form of go into it with the mentality that James has the place you are attempting to genuinely assist somebody and create mutual profit, so long as you perceive the dangers, work with professionals, as James stated, work with individuals who actually perceive this and go in it with an method of looking for a mutual profit. It’s a worthwhile technique for lots of people to think about. Just be sure you’re not breaking any legal guidelines doing something they assume. Proper, but when assuming that you are able to do it proper, such as you stated, you may assist somebody out and you may get an rate of interest. That’s a fraction of what you’ll get as we speak in case you have been simply to go get a brand new mortgage.

James Davis:
Completely. And with this one particularly, we had reached out to the mortgage firm and stated, Hey, that is what we wish to do.

Dave Meyer:
Oh, that’s nice.

James Davis:
Hey, it’s both you’ve got a foreclosures or we make the funds. And so they stated, okay, yeah, we do must name the mortgage due, however we’ll delay it. So that they agreed, Hey, we’re going to delay 18 months if the funds are present after a yr, you guys can assume the mortgage.

Dave Meyer:
Okay, that’s an effective way to do it.

James Davis:
However in fact that was with the mortgage firm agreeing to it and being variety sufficient to delay it, nevertheless it was of their finest curiosity too.

Dave Meyer:
That’s an effective way to do it and undoubtedly admire you actually dotting all of the i’s crossing all of your T’s and doing this the best method. Whenever you have been speaking to a few of these wholesalers, have been you deliberately on the lookout for sub two or did you simply type of come into this deal after which discovered sub two? After

James Davis:
I used to be on the lookout for vendor funds, however with the rates of interest being larger, it was powerful to discover a deal that I may cashflow with the numbers as a result of I used to be wanting to purchase and maintain and doing the long-term. And that was my thought again then was to purchase the long-term rental actual property, however the numbers simply couldn’t make sense. So I got here throughout sub two and it type of got here to me, I assume with that first deal as an choice.

Dave Meyer:
Properly, you’ve confirmed your self, James, to be a really artistic and hardworking man simply from the primary two offers that you simply’ve advised us about. I wish to hear extra about the way you’ve scaled. I perceive that you simply’ve actually grown an enormous actual property enterprise within the final couple of years, however we do should take yet another break. We’ll be proper again. Welcome again to the BiggerPockets podcast. I’m right here with investor James Davis. James, it seems like youDid your first home hack. You probably did this sub two deal, however since then within the final two years or so you actually scaled your online business. What have you ever been as much as extra just lately?

James Davis:
So my brother reached out to me. He was working for an organization that did residential and incapacity companies. There’s assisted residing for older folks, however then there’s assisted residing for various classes of individuals too. We went into the realm of assisted residing for folks with disabilities which might be any age. So my brother reached out saying, Hey, I work for this firm. And one, he didn’t actually like the way it was being run. He was actually passionate concerning the mission the place it’s like, Hey, we’d like housing for folks with disabilities. After all there’s a enterprise facet of it, however you must have a look at this. So he despatched me what it may appear to be and the entire licensing course of, and I reviewed it with him and it will be actually costly as a result of one, it’s important to have a protracted time frame with out a tenant in any respect the place they do tons of inspections and licensing course of, after which now we have to take action a lot paperwork.

Dave Meyer:
And you have already got to personal the property at that time, proper?

James Davis:
Yeah, precisely.

Dave Meyer:
So that you’re simply sitting on a mortgage and insurance coverage and taxes whilst you’re working with, I assume the federal government state, native authorities to determine this out.

James Davis:
Oh yeah. So we’re sitting on it and it’s extra like I’m sitting on it and we’re doing the licensing course of, and we began that round July, August of 2023. So it was truly earlier than I purchased the second property after we began. And it took eight months for the entire licensing course of the place we needed to do all of the paperwork after which we lastly acquired authorised. Okay, you’re allowed to supply companies for a majority of these folks,
However on this trade, not less than within the state of Utah, the way in which it’s arrange, it’s much like being an actual property agent the place it’s important to struggle for shoppers and actually present that you may deal with them. Me and my brother, truly, after we acquired the license and we have been lastly authorized to have shoppers, we acquired the record of all of the case staff within the state of Utah and referred to as each single one in all ’em, and it was like 400 referred to as everybody we’re like, Hey, we’re a newly licensed supplier. You probably have a resident, we’re able to take ’em straight away. And of that total record, we acquired one individual. Oh my gosh. So we discovered a consumer that toured the place and was like, okay, yeah, I wish to dwell right here. And that was our very first one. And at that time, my HELOC was at like $50,000 and me and my spouse and my brother, we have been all working and all of us took shifts. I’m caring for this individual.

Dave Meyer:
Oh my gosh. So it’s actually like one-to-one care.

James Davis:
Oh yeah. So it was 24 7, somebody needed to be there 24 7, so we simply took care of ’em. It’s much like having type of like an toddler the place they only want that stage of supervision. The nice factor is the income was nearer to $15,000 a month simply from this one individual,

Dave Meyer:
15,000 a month. And so they’re residing in a single bed room in your facility?

James Davis:
Only one bed room. And we have been authorised for as much as three.

Dave Meyer:
Okay. Oh

James Davis:
My gosh. That was the primary one. And we took shifts and we didn’t rent anybody as a result of we actually wished to pay down our debt that we had accrued simply from the emptiness after which from the renovations too. So we did that for about 5 – 6 months, simply actually taking 10 12 hour shifts backwards and forwards whereas we have been all working and we simply needed to work it round our schedules. However after that, we began hiring folks and it made it a bit of bit simpler.

Dave Meyer:
I imply, I’m positive there’s lots of people listening to this considering 15 grand a month, perhaps you may get three tenants directly. It’s 45 grand a month. That’s an unimaginable sum of money. Inform us just a bit bit concerning the economics about this, as a result of first, are there different bills? I assume there’s lots of insurance coverage and stuff that on prime of simply labor prices, that’s much more costly as nicely.

James Davis:
Oh yeah. It’s a must to have the best stage of insurance coverage for this trade. You’re caring for folks. So if one thing goes incorrect, the state requires us to be coated. So the insurance coverage necessities are actually excessive. So we pay, it’s a couple of thousand {dollars} a month simply in insurance coverage. The nice factor is, is that as you get extra shoppers, that quantity type of stays the identical for insurance coverage value, however while you solely have one, it does really feel prefer it’s quite a bit too. For a $15,000 consumer, you’re looking after the entire bills, most likely like 10 or $11,000 a month in bills, however you’re most likely cashflowing three or $4,000 per individual that’s residing there.

Dave Meyer:
And simply as you scale up, I assume you bought extra residents over time?

James Davis:
Oh yeah. We now have much more now. So we solely had that one for 5 months, however then as we have been doing nicely, the caseworkers I assume observed and so they despatched us a bit of bit extra. So proper now we’re at 13.

Dave Meyer:
13 residents throughout what number of properties?

James Davis:
So now we have 4 properties proper now which might be energetic the place now we have residents there. So there’s residential care, which is that kind of assisted residing, however then there’s one thing referred to as supported residing the place they dwell in a house after which there’s a employees that comes and takes care of them. So now we have six shoppers which might be residential. Then now we have the remaining which might be supported residing, in order that they’re not concerned in our actual property portfolio, their enterprise.

Dave Meyer:
So how massive is that this enterprise develop? What’s your income now?

James Davis:
So this yr we’re set to do $1 million in income, perhaps even 1.1 million relying on how issues go. After which web out of that we must be getting not less than $200,000 this yr. So proper at a couple of 20% margin.

Dave Meyer:
That’s superb. Clearly created a enterprise that you may, I might assume comfortably dwell on, don’t know your residing bills, however primarily based on the tales you’ve advised me, I assume that you may comfortably dwell off of that. Are you able to break that down? Simply what number of items is that? What number of properties throughout,

James Davis:
I assume it comes out, it’s about $83,000 a month that we’re getting a complete. For the true property facet of issues, it’s about $70,000 of our income is coming simply from the properties that now we have. So now we have 4 functioning properties, two of them, it’s about 25 to $30,000 a month, about two residents and each. And their funding is a bit of bit totally different. It’s not all the time 15. 15 is on the upper finish in the event that they want lots of staffing. So for the primary two properties, there’s a 25 to $30,000 a month, after which on the opposite two they’re only one or two bed room condos and people pull in $6,000 a month every.

Dave Meyer:
After which the remaining income is from form of the staffing that you simply do in different folks’s properties?

James Davis:
Yeah, precisely. So that might be non-real property associated income.

Dave Meyer:
Very cool.

James Davis:
Yeah.

Dave Meyer:
I’m curious when you have any recommendation for our viewers right here, as a result of I assume lots of people are listening to your progress trajectory, your income, your revenue margin, all tremendous spectacular, however you’re additionally working a extra subtle enterprise that’s extra difficult than shopping for only a common rental property and also you’re caring for folks. It is a tremendous essential position that you’re enjoying. So what sort of investor, what sort of individual do you assume may succeed with a technique like yours?

James Davis:
I feel if somebody needs to have a alternative of how they make their cash and so they nonetheless care about folks, it’s caregiving in a method the place you continue to should care concerning the folks. It’s not all concerning the cash, despite the fact that we wouldn’t be capable to do it if there wasn’t any cash, however you do must care concerning the folks. And in case you do care about folks, you’ve got a strategy to deal with folks and meet your wants. And it’s extremely satisfying. I keep in mind working at my job and I hated getting up within the morning. I hated going to work. I hated having a boss telling me what to do. I hated having to beg somebody for day without work and saying like, Hey, I wish to go do that. Or feeling sick and nonetheless feeling the necessity to go to work. It’s a must to simply suck as much as any individual. So somebody that doesn’t like being an worker, and I hate being an worker. I hate, and I feel I’m a nasty worker due to that. I don’t assume I’m good at listening to different folks.

Dave Meyer:
Properly, that’s type of what I used to be saying firstly. You clearly have this entrepreneurial spirit. Even in highschool, in case you’re promoting stuff on eBay, there’s one thing about you that desires to take your monetary future into your individual fingers.

James Davis:
Oh yeah. And I really feel like lots of people really feel that method. It’s simply they don’t have a car to appreciate that dream. And this can be a method to do this the place you need to use actual property, and I like actual property and a strategy to fund my way of life too and be capable to meet my wants and my household’s wants whereas assembly different folks’s wants too.

Dave Meyer:
Yeah, I like that mutually helpful method. Fascinated about making a enterprise that clearly works for you and your loved ones, however gives worth to the folks that you’re serving on the identical time, you’ve clearly James completed quite a bit in simply a few years. It’s superb. What are your objectives from right here?

James Davis:
Yeah, I feel we’re type of on the higher finish of the place we wish to be, not less than on the enterprise facet. We would get one other property or two as a result of proper now now we have six and it was very easy to scale and purchase extra properties while you simply have some huge cash coming in. And we didn’t receives a commission for a very very long time as a result of we’d simply put that cash in the direction of down funds and doing extra topic twos and doing that. However I feel what we’d wish to do is purchase a pair extra properties, however we’d nonetheless like to have the long-term rental actual property too. I do like the concept of getting a tenant that solely bothers you each every now and then as an alternative of daily, and you’ve got somebody that’s actually excessive upkeep, despite the fact that there’s extra income on this facet of issues. It’s good to have some issues actually steady

Dave Meyer:
