Real Estate Investor Case Study: Karen Davis’s 6th Rental Property

by Brian Lee on May 12, 2009 .

I just released my first production for Lifestyles Unlimited, the real estate investor and mentor group.

It’s a video case study of real estate investor Karen Davis and her 6th rental property. Karen is one of the mentors in the Houston office of Lifestyles Unlimited. This property will add $40,000 in equity and $300/mo. cashflow to her portfolio.

I shot, directed, and edited the piece.

As time is progressing – The markets are finally starting to rebound. This should be a good opportunity for those who wish to buy property or for those hoping that their equity will return.

Investing early with good real estate marketing history is a great strategy.

These aren’t quite the margins we’d recommend — operating expense on these sorts of single-family houses tend to spike from time to time when big things go wrong (HVAC, Roof, etc.) and you’ve got to average those in. I think they’re being a bit too rosy on the expense assumption side–they’re assuming the run-of-the-mill month when nothing bad happens. But is that really an “average” expense month when you factor in those $7000 or $15000 spikes that happen every 3-10 years?

The Lifestyles Unlimited model is to replace everything upfront so that it will last for 5 years or more.. then to sell the home before the 5 years are up. Learn more at http://www.lifestylesunlimited.com

We manage properties in the luxury Algarve resort of Vilamoura and have a number of clients like Karen Davis who have followed the buy to let principle with great success. Property owners should note, however, that they may need to apply for a rental license depending on the state or country in which the property resides. Fines in Portugal can be as high as 35,000 Euros for non-licensed properties, so please be aware.

Hi,
I think that it is really a good way to earn money.I would really appreciate any suggestions from real estate investors experienced with partnership investments like this.

I have noted how young, healthy and beautiful these property owners are. Aren’t there people out there like me, old and sickly?

These vids are inspiring. For anyone interesting in doing fixing and flipping of properties in the southwest we can finance you. But you must have 25% down.
