How Viable Is My Property Investment Strategy? (Refinancing home to BRRR)

I'm new to the idea of property investing so please excuse my ignorance. I learned of BRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) through an 'online guru' whose honesty is being questioned so I'm hoping to get advice from real investors.

I bought a run down property for 55k cash which I'm currently living in and renovating. When it's done, it should be worth around 120k but I'm guessing the bank will value it at around 100k. I then plan on mortgaging it and taking out 50k to buy my next property for around 100k. Of that 50k, there will be 20k for the deposit + 20k for renovations + 10k for mortgage repayments for 16 months for both the current house I'm living in and the new property (approx 600pm).

Once that house is complete, I plan on renting it asap for 800pm so both mortgages will be covered with a little extra and then refinancing that new house which should have an increased value of around 200k before repeating the process on more properties.

Does this sound like a good plan? Is there anything I'm not thinking of or anything I should do differently?

Also, is it advisable to use extra funds to make early mortgage repayments or, should I be saving any funds to put into more investments? I'm thinking that over time with inflation, my mortgage will decrease in value so I should be increasing my portfolio and just hope that interest rates won't increase drastically.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
