Opening

Today I’m going to introduce you to a gentleman who started in this business only three years ago and now is flipping 50 houses a year. He has an incredible story and you will want to be sure to hear it. His name is Scott Sekulow and he’s now known as the “Flipping Rabbi” which is a story I’m going to let him tell you. I’m also going to get his input on the current state of the market.

I will do my best to give you a $10 or $100 idea with every post and I WILL be talking about real estate, but I’m going to weigh in on some other topics as well. Which topics? Whatever interests me. And I have a wide range of interests.

Your Questions:

  • Shameka, Atlanta, GA “I’m a new wholesaler and I would appreciate if you would give me some guidance as to what experienced investors are looking for.”
  • Brandon, Atlanta, GA “How do you figure out what it’s going to cost to repair the property?”
  • Roberta, Tampa, FL “What is debt service coverage ratio and why is it important? I just got financing rejected by the lender because of this and it’s a property my mentor said would generate good cash flow. I asked the lender and their explanation was technical and I didn’t understand. I asked my mentor and he said it’s not important and I should just go to another lender. I googled it and that really didn’t help either. I’m buying a house for $120,000 and putting $20,000 down. The payment will be $525.20 per month and the rent is $750. It seems like I’m making $200 per month. How can that be wrong?”
