What if you could make six figures on your first real estate deal? “Yeah, right! Where am I going to find a property like that?” you say. What if we told you that instead of finding a home-run rental property, you could build a better one? Now, not only do you have some instant equity once the house is built, but you also deal with none of the expensive capital expenditures, regular repairs, and common headaches that come with owning an older home. And you can do this even in the most expensive of markets.
When Lacey Russell was looking for an investor-friendly agent, she turned to BiggerPockets Agent Finder, where she found her rockstar real estate agent, Sam Haack. Together, they realized that building a new construction rental worked FAR better than buying one, so Sam scoped the market for investor-friendly builders, and now, they’re off to the races. They’ll go through the full numbers of this real estate deal, from land costs to loans, equity forecasts, cash flow, and more!
