Get Pre-Approved:
Prior to contacting your coach, if you plan on conventional financing, please consider the following. You will likely need:
• A down payment of at least 20% for single-family homes and 25% for multi-families
• A low debt-to-income ratio
• 2 years of job history with a U.S. company or 2 years of self-employment history
• Six months of reserve funds
• A credit score of at least 680 (higher, is ideal)
In order to prepare for your pre-approval, start gathering the following documents. Your lender may require more documentation, but you should be ready to provide copies of these documents, at a minimum:
• Last 2 paystubs
• Last 2 months of bank statements (all pages should be included)
• Last 2 years of tax returns and W2s
What is turnkey?
The word turnkey has been around for about 20 years in the real estate industry. It’s origin lies in the building industry, where custom home builders would advertise their deliverable as turnkey: you don’t need to do anything yourself other than turn the key and move in.
The distinction is important: leaving loose ends at the end of a project for the owner to deal with is just bad construction—hanging sconces in the hallway and toilet paper holders in the bathroom is best left to the professionals. Turnkey properties are ready to move into.
Turnkey real estate investing began with companies who would renovate homes completely (rehab properties), sell them to investors, and offer the owners property management for that home. The shortage of housing supply has led more and more companies to build brand new homes for this purpose (build-to-rent), and both types are prevalent today.
Three things make a proper a turnkey investment:
- Ready to move into (100% renovated or brand new and 100% finished)
- Occupied by a tenant
- Managed by a professional property manager
Professional management is optional but highly recommended by most investors. The best case scenario is when the same company who renovated the property manages it (or they are sister companies) because, especially with renovated properties, the expertise won through the renovation process translates to an intimate understanding of the building and its maintenance needs for the future.
Most turnkey rental renovations include all major capital expenditure maintenance items such as the roof, HVAC system, kitchen appliances, and the all-important heating system. The lifespan of these items, 10-15 years, usually extends beyond an investor’s hold time, typically 7-10 years.
