An investor using a targeted direct mail strategy (sending 3-7 pieces of mail over 90 days to 2,000-4,000 senior property owners with high equity) is predicted to secure a decent lead on an off-market property within 3 to 4 months.
"I would say you probably need to send mail for at least 90 days to this list... I think if you're sending it to between two and 4,000 people and they get between three and five to seven pieces of mail from you, it might take you 3 to 4 months before you probably have a decent lead on the hook and then however long it takes for you to close after that."

By underwriting individual hard money loans, an investor with $400,000 can expect to achieve an annual return of 15-16%, equating to $50,000-$60,000 per year.
"If you underrite individual hard money loans, you could probably get 15 16% of your money... you're making 50 $60,000 off that $4 or $100,000 a year."
Private Money Lending (Real Estate)

Sending direct mail to 2,000-4,000 targeted property owners (3-7 pieces each over 90 days) will likely generate a solid lead within 3-4 months.
"But I think if you're sending it to between two and 4,000 people and they get between three and five to seven pieces of mail from you, it might take you 3 to 4 months before you probably have a decent lead on the hook and then however long it takes for you to close after that."
Off-Market Real Estate Deals
Pending
Investing $400,000 into a real estate debt fund is predicted to generate a passive annual return of 10-11%.
"If you want to earn 10 or 11%, you can put it in a fund where it's kind of like a syndication... You can get 10 11% and then you're really doing nothing."
Debt Fund (Real Estate)
Pending
Investing $400,000 (as two $200k down payments for eight units with 50% LTV) in forplex properties is predicted to generate cash-on-cash returns similar to private money lending (10-12%) by the time the investor reaches retirement age (around 65), in addition to equity growth and tax benefits.
"take 200 grand and buy a forplex, put 50% down twice, you know, so buy eight units, 50% LTV... if you're in your 50s and you're trying to set yourself up for a 65 retirement, by that point, it will probably be generating the same kind of cash on cash return [as private money lending, 10-12%]."
Real Estate Investment (Forplex)
Pending
Investing $400k (as 50% down payments on two fourplexes) is projected to generate similar cash-on-cash returns to private lending by the time the investor reaches retirement at age 65, along with equity and tax benefits.
"But if you're in your 50s and you're trying to set yourself up for a 65 retirement, by that point, it will probably be generating the same kind of cash on cash return. Plus, you'll get the equity plus the tax benefits are there."
