September 2020 represented the 6-month mark since our country and world really started to see the massive economic effects of COVID-19. It's definitely been a wild rollercoaster ride for myself, my career, my portfolio, my opportunties, and my future. Luckily for myself, I've trained my brain and instilled the mentality that "every challenge brings a learning moment" and that's really proven beneficial during these times. So, onto the actual portfolio update! On the personal property side of things, I had a lease end at the end of September so I'm in the middle of sprucing up the unit for rent and trying to fill a vacancy as soon as possible. On the larger deals that I'm a partner/investor in, rent collections have definitely been down through COVID, but for my properties in Arizona, we're very well positioned to push through this unknown COVID environment. Unfortunately, there still aren't a ton of positives on the property that I'm a Limited Partner in on My Fourth Property (the 80-Unit in Louisville). Let's get into the details below! My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO SEPTEMBER INCOME. See how it performed HERE.  If you're looking to buy your first rental property and want to jumpstart up your education on the processes, procedures, and strategies, I'm writing an ebook that'll cover many of your questions. Check it out here: https://www.jumpinrealestate.com/jumpstart.html My Second Property I bought this single family house in March of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. It's currently rented on a 12-month lease.  After a very smooth year for the first 8 months, I ran into a vacancy on this property and due to some turnover costs and repairs, this property was negative cash flow for the month of September. I had to cover utilities while it was vacant and take care of: -repairing light fixtures -unclogging bathroom sink -lock changes -general cleaning Income Gross Rents: $995 TOTAL: $995 Expenses Mortgage: $378.42 Property Taxes: $216.32 Insurance: $44.50 Property Management: $89.55 Turnover Repairs and Utilities: $558.24 TOTAL: $1,287.03 Income ($995) - Expenses ($1,287.03) = $292.03 Cash Flow from My Second Property: -$292.03 My Third Property I bought this duplex in July of 2018. Both units are 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. The lower unit is occupied and the upper unit will be vacant starting October 1st.  Like I mentioned in the intro, I had a lease end at the end of September that was not renewed. So, with that I'm going through a "turn" and I need to get this unit occupied as soon as possible. But, as far as the month of September, it was a pretty smooth 30 days with no random repairs or expenses. Income Gross rent from Unit 1: $875 Gross rent from Unit 2: $875 TOTAL: $1,750 Expenses Mortgage: $791.24 Property Taxes: $221 Insurance: $60.50 Property Management fee: $175 Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $1,247.74 Income ($1,750) - Expenses ($1,247.74) = -$502.26 Cash Flow from My Third Property: $502.26 My Fourth Property This is an 80-unit apartment complex in Louisville that I invested in passively through a company called Holdfolio. Unfortunately, things haven't gone as smooth as expected in this deal and Holdfolio is not hitting their underwritten timelines. It was acquired for $2.25 million and we're investing another $1 million into it as a group.  This is a completely passive investment for me as I'm a Limited Partner and amazingly, we were paid out a distribution (albeit small) last December for Q4 of 2019 for the first time! Occupancy is staying steady at close to 100% for now. There's excellent occupancy, but collections have been struggling as the resident base is largely service workers who have been hit the hardest. Unfortunately, income was below the budgeted amount which is largely due to a decrease in collections. The expenses were above the budgeted amount and the biggest variance is related to a big flooring repair that had to be taken care of. As a Limited Partner in this deal, there isn't much I can do except be patient and trust my partners to get this property turned around and cash-flowing. This was my first tip-toe into the larger multifamily world and although it's been challenging, it's been an eye-opening learning experience. Total ROI since investing start date 10/11/18: 1.49%  My Fifth Property This is a 164-unit apartment complex in Phoenix that I invested in passively. It was acquired for $19.75 million and we're investing an additional $2.5 million into it over the next 24 months. Our first distribution came Q2 of 2020.  It's been great to watch this investment move forward the past few months and I'm working with some amazingly experienced partners on this deal and I couldn't be happier. Gross income was up, expenses were down, and Net Operating Income was up! 58 units have been renovated with another 5 being worked on right now. Here are a few photos of our new leasing office where we're expanding and adding a gym.
My Sixth Property This is an 94-unit apartment complex in Phoenix that a group of partners and I purchased and closed on at the end of November. It was acquired for $10.3 million and we're investing another $3 million into it over the next 24 months. As a member of the General Partner team, I'm working with the same individuals that I worked with on My Fifth Property. I flew out to Phoenix multiple times running due diligence, checking out comps, vetting the business plan/strategy, and connecting with investors.  This property is still in the beginning stages of it's transformation. All roofs were replaced, work on the exterior is taking place, and the pool is being renovated. Here's a comparison photos of our old vs. new exterior paint! We went with a more modern and sleek look by getting away from the sandy color of Phoenix.  Overall, it was an up and down month with My Second Property getting a vacancy filled, but some repairs came with that. My Third property had a smooth September, but has an impending vacancy.
My larger properties were also somewhat of a mixed bag, with issues on the Louisville property, but great progress on the Arizona properties. But, this is real estate. This is what I signed up for. The ups and downs are what come with taking investment risks. It's all about moving forward and thinking long term! Happy Investing all! ***VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: even if I'm bringing in positive cash flow after all my expenses are paid, I'M NOT TOUCHING any of it! This income goes toward my next investment and any future expenses. I have a day job and side-hustles to cover my lifestyle :) If I ever get to the point where I actually want to take the cash flow, I would still only take about half of it and save the remainder for future expenses. This is SUPER IMPORTANT! ALWAYS factor in future vacancy/repair/maintenance expenses. Make sure you know how to properly calculate cash flow HERE. Let me know if you have any questions! -Tyler

All in all, it was a great month for me. Why? Because I finally filled a vacancy in my duplex. Phew. That was a journey, a cash flow suck, and a long time coming. The downside is I had to pay my property manager a FULL month's rent to fill that vacancy and lock up a tenant. That's just part of their fee structure that I was fully aware of, so I'll have to wait another month to finally get back to cash flow positive on my duplex. Another added expense this month: my property taxes went up on all of my personal units. I saw a solid $9 increase on my single family home and a $68 increase on my duplex. The positive is that my properties are increasing in value, but that also means cash flow is decreasing as my rents are staying constant. The lesson here is: your rents need to increase as your property taxes and property value increases. Unfortunately, it might be tough to raise rents this year with the effects of COVID and the rental market. With that...let's get to the full update! My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO APRIL INCOME. See how it performed HERE.  My Second Property I bought this single family house in March of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. It's currently rented on a 12-month lease.  Another smooth month for My Second Property. Still no crazy repairs or expenses of recent note, and I REALLY hope my tenant is NOT ignoring any maintenance needs that should be taken care of. One thing that's on the back of my mind? My tenant has an expiring lease at the end of June, so it's not an immediate concern, but something I need to look out for and start talking to my property manager about. My initial thought on tackling that, especially in these times, is to NOT raise rent and hopefully get an easy 12-24 month renewal. Income Gross Rents: $995 TOTAL: $995 Expenses Mortgage: $378.42 Property Taxes: $216.32 Insurance: $44.50 Property Management: $89.55 Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $728.79 Income ($995) - Expenses ($728.79) = $275.21 Cash Flow from My Second Property: $266.21 My Third Property I bought this duplex in July of 2018. Both units are 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. The lower unit is currently vacant and the upper unit is rented to a young professional.  Like I mentioned in the intro, I had a vacancy in unit #1 (lower unit) and it was finally filled this month! YES! That vacancy was hindering cash flow, it definitely created stress, and required me to pay out of pocket each month to cover my mortgage, insurance, and taxes. Something we're all trying to avoid in the real estate investing world! The one big expense this month, however, was now with a new tenant in place, my property manager takes a FULL month's rent for placing that tenant. Yup, that's $875 taken out of my income for the first month...can't wait for next month to come around so I can get back to cash flow positive on this property. Income Gross rent from Unit 1: $875 Gross rent from Unit 2: $875 TOTAL: $1,750 Expenses Mortgage: $791.24 Property Taxes: $221 Insurance: $60.50 Property Management fee: $87.50 + $875 new lease fee Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $2,035.24 Income ($1,750) - Expenses ($2,035.24) = -$285.24 Cash Flow from My Third Property: -$285.24 My Fourth Property This is an 80-unit apartment complex in Louisville that I invested in passively through a company called Holdfolio. Unfortunately, things haven't gone as smooth as expected in this deal and Holdfolio is not hitting their underwritten timelines. It was acquired for $2.25 million and we're investing another $1 million into it as a group.  This is a completely passive investment for me as I'm a Limited Partner and amazingly, we were paid out a distribution (albeit small) in December for Q4 of 2019 for the first time! Occupancy is staying steady at 100% for now! 59 of the 80 units have been completely renovated with 21 to go. As a Limited Partner in this deal, there isn't much I can do except be patient and trust my partners to get this property turned around and cash-flowing. This was my first tip-toe into the larger multifamily world and although it's been challenging, it's been an eye-opening learning experience. Total ROI since investing start date 10/11/18: 1.5%  My Fifth Property This is a 164-unit apartment complex in Phoenix that I invested in passively. It was acquired for $19.75 million and we're investing an additional $2.5 million into it over the next 24 months. Investor distributions are expected June of 2020.  It's been great to watch this investment move forward the past few months and I'm working with some amazingly experienced partners on this deal and I couldn't be happier. The big question with the impact of COVID for us was: how would rent collections go? In April, rent collections were down 13% on this property compared to March. Of note, is that the 13% is not necessarily "apples to apples" because March was our highest collections month ever. So, that's comparing our best month to our worst. Units are constantly being renovated as we're still in the beginning stages of the reposition phase. Here are a few photos I snapped of our leasing office where we're expanding and adding a gym.
My Sixth Property This is an 94-unit apartment complex in Phoenix that a group of partners and I purchased and closed on at the end of November. It was acquired for $10.3 million and we're investing another $3 million into it over the next 24 months. As a member of the General Partner team, I'm working with the same individuals that I worked with on My Fifth Property. I flew out to Phoenix multiple times running due diligence, checking out comps, vetting the business plan/strategy, and connecting with investors.  This property is still in the very beginning stages of it's transformation having only closed on it less than 6 months ago. All roofs are being replaced, work on the exterior is taking place, and the pool is being renovated. Rent collections were down 9% on this property in April compared to March. But, this also was a case of comparing our highest collection month to our lowest. Overall, it was a great month in that my personal portfolio is back up to 100% occupancy, but I'll have to wait another month to get back into the cash flow positive side of things. As far as the multifamily part of my portfolio, rent collections were down due to the impacts of COVID, but in no way is there cause for panic as we have plenty of reserves to cover our 6+ months of mortgage payments.

All that I can say is...I'm somewhat speechless. I don't think ANY of us really could have predicted or imagined how the last month has unfolded. Our lives practically changed overnight and we're all trying to adjust to a new normalcy in work, at home, socially, and financially. The industry I have a full-time job in has completely HAULTED, but luckily I'm able to keep my job and work from home right now. This is the time to practice gratitude and really appreciate the little things we take for granted. I hope you are all doing well out there! With that, welcome to Jump In Real Estate's March 2020 portfolio update. Considering the events that have transpired I'm happy with how my portfolio is positioned because:
The biggest thorn in my side right now is dealing with a vacancy in my duplex, which sucks from a cash flow perspective, but really in the grand scheme of things there are so many more important things in life right now to worry about. Alright, so here's the report! My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO MARCH INCOME. See how it performed HERE.  My Second Property I bought this single family house in March of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. It's currently rented on a 12-month lease.  The past 6 months have been rather smooth for My Second Property. I'm hoping that either I'm getting lucky with no repair expenses popping up or my tenant is taking care of them himself. I REALLY hope my tenant is NOT ignoring any maintenance that needs to be taken care of, though. Getting into the theme of spending little money on repairs is great, but it always gets me thinking about any differed maintenance that isn't being spotted. Income Gross Rents: $995 TOTAL: $995 Expenses Mortgage: $369.42 Property Taxes: $216.32 Insurance: $44.50 Property Management: $89.55 Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $719.79 Income ($995) - Expenses ($719.79) = $275.21 Cash Flow from My Second Property: $275.21 My Third Property I bought this duplex in July of 2018. Both units are 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. The lower unit is currently vacant and the upper unit is rented to a young professional.  I'll just say it how it is...these past few months have been ROUGH for My Third Property. I had a tenant in the bottom unit move out in January and following a couple weeks of renovation (and bumping rent up to $895) it's still sitting vacant. A decent number of applications have come in, but you can imagine how things have just completely slowed down. A couple of promising applications are being stalled due to some employment verifications we're waiting on. My property manager and I are going to lower the vacant unit down to $875 from the original rate of $895. Income Gross rent from Unit 1 (VACANT): $0 Gross rent from Unit 2: $875 TOTAL: $875 Expenses Mortgage: $725.24 Property Taxes: $221 Insurance: $60.50 Property Management fee: $87.50 Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $1,094 Income ($875) - Expenses ($1,094) = -$219 Cash Flow from My Third Property: -$219 My Fourth Property This is an 80-unit apartment complex in Louisville that I invested in passively through a company called Holdfolio. Unfortunately, things haven't gone as smooth as expected in this deal and Holdfolio is not hitting their underwritten timelines. It was acquired for $2.25 million and we're investing another $1 million into it as a group.  This is a completely passive investment for me as I'm a Limited Partner and amazingly, we were paid out a distribution (albeit small) in December for Q4 of 2019 for the first time! The positive news is that occupancy has increased from 50% at acquisition to 100% now! 59 of the 80 units have been completely renovated with 21 to go.

SO, it's been a BUSY few months...and I must admit...I've been slacking on adding updated content to the site. Sorry! BUT, the big news...my partners and I officially closed on a 94-unit property in the Phoenix market. Yup! ANOTHER acquisition and as part of the General Partner team, that required me to fly to Phoenix, assist with due diligence, run through comps, vet the business plan, and work with investors. So, let's check out how the portfolio is performing! My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO NOVEMBER INCOME. See how it performed HERE.  My Second Property I bought this single family house in March of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. It's currently rented on a 12-month lease.  It's been a pretty smooth few months for My Second Property. If you've been keeping up with my updates, I got a new tenant in this property a few months ago. After just a few minor repairs to get the place rent-ready, I haven't run into any additional expenses out of the ordinary lately. Knock on wood cash flow trend keeps up! Income Gross Rents: $995 TOTAL: $995 Expenses Mortgage: $369.42 Property Taxes: $216.32 Insurance: $44.50 Property Management: $89.55 Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $719.79 Income ($995) - Expenses ($719.79) = $275.21 Cash Flow from My Second Property: $275.21 My Third Property I bought this duplex in July of 2018. Both units are 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. The lower unit is currently rented to a young married couple and the upper unit is rented to a young professional.  I've had some more smooth sailing for this property the past few months! BUT, there is some rough times ahead.... The tenants in my bottom unit have a lease ending on 12/31/19 and they do not intend to renew. So, it looks like I'm going to be facing a winter vacancy...boooo! The winter is pretty rough in Indianapolis and I know the market will be cold (literally). I'm definitely expecting an extended vacancy on this property, but the positive is at least the top unit will cover about 80% of the mortgage, thankfully. I also intend to get into the unit ASAP, clean it up, and I'm hoping to raise rent slightly from $850 to $875 or $900. Income Gross Rents: $1,725 TOTAL: $1,725 Expenses Mortgage: $725.24 Property Taxes: $221 Insurance: $60.50 Property Management fee: $172.50 Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $1,179.24 Income ($1,725) - Expenses ($1,179.24) = $545.76 Cash Flow from My Third Property: $545.76 My Fourth Property This is an 80-unit apartment complex in Louisville that I invested in through a company called Holdfolio. Unfortunately, things haven't gone as smooth as expected in this deal and Holdfolio is not hitting their underwritten timelines. It was acquired for $2.25 million and the plan is to invest another $1 million into it. This is a passive investment for me as I'm a Limited Partner and we haven't seen any distributions yet since closing 15 months ago.  The positive news is that occupancy has increased from 50% at acquisition to 96% now! 59 of the 80 units have been renovated so we expect to have a fully renovated property soon. As a Limited Partner in this deal, there isn't much I can do except be patient and trust my partners to get this property turned around and cash-flowing. This was my first tip-toe into the larger multifamily world and although it's been challenging, it's been an amazing learning experience. My Fifth Property This is a 164-unit apartment complex in Phoenix that a group of partners and I purchased. It was acquired for $19.75 million and we're investing an additional $2.5 million into it over the next 24 months. Investor distributions are expected June of 2020.  It's been great to watch this investment move forward the past few months and get under control. I'm working with some amazingly experienced partners on this deal and I could not be happier. Units are constantly being renovated as we're still in the beginning stages of the reposition phase. There isn't a ton to update here though as we literally only closed a few months ago. BUT, here are a few photos I snapped of exterior painting in progress:
My Sixth Property Here's the big news! Here's why I've been so dang busy the past few months and visiting Phoenix so often. This is an 94-unit apartment complex in Phoenix that a group of partners and I purchased and closed on at the end of November. It was acquired for $10.3 million and we're investing another $3 million into it over the next 24 months. As a member of the General Partner team, I'm working with the same individuals that I worked with on My Fifth Property. I flew out to Phoenix multiple times running due diligence, checking out comps, vetting the business plan/strategy, and connecting with investors.  My goal for 2019 was to get into a large multifamily deal on the General Partner side and I'm super pumped and proud that I achieved that goal this year! Hard work, constant networking, and proving my value were all KEY to achieving this goal. Honestly, I wasn't sure if I'd actually be able to achieve this feat, but a reminder to you all: THINK BIG. It was a BUSY few month as much of my time in the real estate world was dedicated to My Sixth Property. I'm so happy I finally found some great partners in the multifamily space that have a proven track record and experience having done My Fifth and My Sixth Property deals in Phoenix with them. I can't wait to get 2020 started!
***VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: even though I'm bringing in positive cash flow after all my expenses are paid, I'M NOT TOUCHING any of it! This income goes toward my next investment and any future expenses. I have a day job and side-hustles to cover my lifestyle :) If I ever get to the point where I actually want to take the cash flow, I would still only take about half of it and save the remainder for future expenses.

Let me know if you have any questions! -Tyler Welcome to Jump In Real Estate's July 2019 portfolio update! First of all, I'm moving away from calling these INCOME REPORTS because, as my portfolio has become more and more complex (ie I've invested in 2 large multifamily assets as a limited partner), it becomes very difficult to report income with so many moving pieces. Also, for confidentiality reasons, I'm choosing not to report everything with so many partners involved in some of these deals. If you want to learn more, always feel free to contact me directly HERE. SO, the big news...I invested in MY FIFTH PROPERTY as a limited partner. This investment is a 164-unit property in Phoenix where I partnered with very experienced and proven operators. I'm SUPER excited about this one, because I completely trust the people I'm working with. This is similar to My Fourth Property in that it's a passive investment where I'm given equity in the asset in exchange for my investment. As I've gotten older I've become more and more conscious of the value of time. Why have my last two investments been passive multifamily investments as a limited parter? One word: TIME. Yes, I could continue to slowly build my portfolio one duplex at a time, but at least for now, I'm valuing the passivity of my last 2 investments and will always be flexible and open to new strategies. My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO JULY INCOME. See how it performed HERE.  My Second Property I bought this single family house in March of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. It's currently rented on a 12-month lease.  As mentioned last month, I had a tenant move out on June 8th (I had them pay a full months rent) and a new tenant moved in on June 28th. That means I had to pay a $895 new lease fee. These fees are pretty standard in the property management world, so you'll learn to expect them. It sucks having to pay $895 for a new tenant, but, it is what it is, and I'm happy to have another 12-month lease in place! Income Gross Rents: $995 TOTAL: $995 Expenses Mortgage: $369.42 Property Taxes: $216.32 Insurance: $44.50 LEASING FEE (one-time fee for new lease): $895 Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $1,525.24 Income ($995) - Expenses ($1,525.24) = -$530.24 Cash Flow from My Second Property: -$530.24 My Third Property I bought this duplex in July of 2018. Both units are 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. The lower unit is currently rented to a young married couple and the upper unit is rented to a young professional.  Some of you already know, but I visited Indianapolis in July! It's part of my plan to visit the market once a year, to check up on the portfolio, connect with my team on the ground, and re-evaluate the market. Welp, when I was out there in July and drove by this investment, I noticed something wrong...there was a HOLE in the siding right by the roof. So, about $1,000 later...it's fixed, after putting a nice dent in my July cash flow. Income Gross Rents: $1,725 TOTAL: $1,725 Expenses Mortgage: $725.24 Property Taxes: $221 Insurance: $60.50 Property Management fee: $172.50 Repairs: $1,155 TOTAL: $2,334.24 Income ($1,725) - Expenses ($2,334.24) = -$609.24 Cash Flow from My Third Property: -$609.24 My Fourth Property This is an 80-unit apartment complex in Louisville that a group of partners and I purchased. It was acquired for $2.25 million and we're investing $1.05 million into it over the next 7-9 months. Cash distributions aren't expected until Q4 of 2019.  Occupancy has increased from 50% at acquisition to 78% with 10 new residents moving in during the second quarter. The goal is to be over 90% by Q4 of 2019 when we're expected to receive our first distribution. My Fifth Property This is a 164-unit apartment complex in Phoenix that a group of partners and I purchased. It was acquired for $19.75 million and we're investing $2.5 million into it over the next 24 months. Investor distributions aren't expected until June of 2020.  It was a BUSY month as every property in my portfolio saw some action. My single family got a new tenant, my duplex needed some repairs, my Louisville property saw occupancy levels rise, and I invested in My Fifth Property!
***VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: even if I brought in positive cash flow after all my expenses, I'M NOT TOUCHING any of it! This income goes toward my next investment and any future expenses. I have a day job and side-hustles to cover my lifestyle :) If I ever get to the point where I actually want to take the cash flow, I would still only take about half of it and save the remainder for future expenses. This is SUPER IMPORTANT! ALWAYS factor in future vacancy/repair/maintenance expenses. Make sure you know how to properly calculate cash flow HERE. Let me know if you have any questions! -Tyler Welcome to Jump In Real Estate's June 2019 rental income report! We're on a roll here as I had another clean month with limited expenses. I also got lucky on a vacant property being turned over super quickly. The tenant in My Second Property had a lease that expired on June 8th. Well, technically it ended at the end of May, but I let my property manager know that I'd allow them to extended it into June in exchange for another full month of rent. Luckily, I got a new tenant in that property and they signed their lease at the end of June! Check out my June Income Report below! My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO JUNE INCOME. See how it performed HERE.  My Second Property I bought this single family house in March of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. It's currently rented on a 12-month lease.  As mentioned earlier, I had a tenant move out on June 8th (I had them pay a full months rent) and a new tenant moved in on June 28th. That means I got a little bonus rent from the new tenant as they paid prorated rent for 3 days. Income Previous Tenant Rent: $995 New Tenant Pro-rated Rent: $99.51 TOTAL: $1,094.51 Expenses Mortgage: $369.42 Property Taxes: $216.32 Insurance: $44.50 Property Management: $98.51 Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $728.75 Income ($1,094.51) - Expenses ($728.75) = $365.76 Cash Flow from My Second Property: $365.76 My Third Property I bought this duplex in July of 2018. Both units are 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. The lower unit is currently rented to a young married couple and the upper unit is rented to a young professional.  Another very boring month...which I don't mind! I had no expenses other than mortgage, taxes, insurance, and property management. I love clean months! Income Gross Rents: $1,725 TOTAL: $1,725 Expenses Mortgage: $725.24 Property Taxes: $221 Insurance: $60.50 Property Management fee: $172.50 Repairs: $0 TOTAL: $1,179.24 Income ($1,725) - Expenses ($1,179.24) = $545.76 Cash Flow from My Third Property: $545.76 My Fourth Property This is an 80-unit apartment complex in Louisville that a group of partners and I purchased. It was acquired for $2.25 million and we're investing $1.05 million into it over the next 7-9 months. Cash flow isn't expected until July of 2019.  I have yet to receive a June update from the partners running the deal. So, that's a little concerning. They've been late the past couple months on updates and I HATE lack of communication. I have to follow up with them ASAP. Cash flow is still not expected until Q3 of 2019. FULL PORTFOLIO CASH FLOW: $911.52 It was great to have another clean and straight-forward month. I was admittedly worried about the vacancy of My Second Property, but luckily I got a new tenant in there quickly! Also, all my cash flow is going straight into my reserves for future expenses and I'll hope for another clean month in July.

Let me know if you have any questions! -Tyler Welcome to Jump In Real Estate's May 2019 rental income report! YES! I had another pretty dang clean month with limited expenses. *KNOCK ON WOOD* Cash flow was UP! One big note: the tenant in My Second Property has a lease expiring next month (June 8th). So this will be my last full month of rental income from that particular property for 2-3 weeks while I get it turned around, marketed, and re-rented. I have no idea what the condition of the place is in right now...I'll find out soon... Another random note: this marks the 1 year anniversary of selling My First Property. Glad to have that one off the portfolio...for many reasons. Check out my May Income Report below! My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO MAY INCOME. See how it performed HERE.  My Second Property I bought this single family house in March of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. It's currently rented to two medical students on a 12-month lease.  Very boring month (which is a good thing haha!). I had no expenses other than mortgage, taxes, insurance, and property management. But, like I mentioned earlier I have an impending vacancy coming up real soon...June 8th to be exact. It should be an interesting June.

I have yet to receive a May update from the partners running the deal. So, that's a little concerning. I HATE lack of communication and I expect monthly updates. I have to follow up with them ASAP. Our last update in April stated that occupancy is up to 72.5%. The goal is to be over 85% occupancy by July. Our biggest focus is to get these vacant units fixed up and rented to keep driving occupancy. Cash flow is still not expected until Q3 of 2019. FULL PORTFOLIO CASH FLOW: $820.97 It was great to have another clean and straight-forward month. All this cash flow is going straight into my reserves for future expenses, and I'll hope for another clean month in June.

Let me know if you have any questions! -Tyler Welcome to Jump In Real Estate's April 2019 rental income report! PHEW! FINALLY! A clean and straight-forward month. I needed that. I had no repairs and expenses other than my monthly mortgage, insurance, property taxes, and property management. Cash flow was great this month! I will say, I was caught off guard regarding my mortgage, however, and it's been a GREAT learning moment. The assessed value of my properties went up and property taxes also went up! I'm now paying an additional $93 per month over my full portfolio. And that's somewhat of a big hit. The lesson here: run your initial numbers conservatively, because if your county decides to raise taxes, there's not much you can do. Luckily, paying an extra $93 per month isn't going to kill my portfolio, but it does kinda suck. My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO APRIL INCOME. See how it performed HERE.

FULL PORTFOLIO CASH FLOW: $820.97 After a few expensive months back-to-back-to-back, it was very welcoming to have a clean and straight-forward month.

Let me know if you have any questions! -Tyler Welcome to Jump In Real Estate's March 2019 rental income report! After a month of major repairs in February, things got a little better this month, but I was still in the red. I finally paid for the tree damage My Second Property got hit with earlier this year, and I had another plumbing issue. Check out details for each property below! My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO MARCH INCOME. See how it performed HERE.  My Second Property I bought this single family house in March of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. It's currently rented to two medical students on a 12-month lease.  I finally paid for that dang tree damage that took place earlier this year. That was a solid check to write. Also, I needed another plumber to go out and re-check the laundry room. There was more clogging occurring, so a plumber went out and an extended pipe needed to be installed. Income Gross Rents: $995 TOTAL: $995 Expenses Mortgage: $346.25 Property Taxes: $216.32 Insurance: $44.50 Property Management: $89.55 Repairs: $1,387 TOTAL: $2,083.62 Income ($995) - Expenses ($2,083.62) = Cash Flow from My Second Property: -$1,088.62 My Third Property I bought this duplex in July of 2018. Both units are 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. The lower unit is currently rented to a young married couple and the upper unit is rented to a young professional.  This month, I had to pay my ANNUAL HOA fees, which came to $315.90. On top of that, I had a maintenance tech go out and check the furnace and AC in the lower unit, as my tenant sent in a complaint saying their heating bill went up drastically this month. Maybe because it's been colder and furnace usage went up??? Either way, it still cost me to have someone check it out. Income Gross Rents: $1,725 TOTAL: $1,725 Expenses Mortgage: $654.36 Property Taxes: $221 Insurance: $60.50 Property Management fee: $172.50 Repairs: $513.90 TOTAL: $1,622.26 Income ($1,725) - Expenses ($1,622.26) = Cash Flow from My Third Property: $103.74 My Fourth Property This is an 80-unit apartment complex in Louisville that a group of partners and I purchased. It was acquired for $2.25 million and we're investing $1.05 million into it over the next 7-9 months. Cash flow isn't expected until July of 2019.  We were able to bump occupancy of this property up to 63% (up from 50% when acquired) and we're seeing rental demand is pretty strong for these units. Our biggest focus is to get these vacant units fixed up and rented to drive occupancy. Cash flow is still not expected until Q3 of 2019. FULL PORTFOLIO CASH FLOW: -$984.88 It's been a rough month for me in the real estate world. A couple major expenses (roof damage from a tree + crawl space work) wiped out my maintenance/repair reserves. I'm going to need a few solid months of cash flow to get back on track and build up my reserves again.
Like I always say, real estate is a LONG game. I've been doing this for a little over 2 years now. At this stage in my investing career, there's no way I could expect to be cash flowing every single month with my portfolio. That's just unrealistic. Fingers crossed things turn around on the repair/maintenance expense side and I start bringing in more money than I spend :) ***VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: even if I brought in positive cash flow after all my expenses, I'M NOT TOUCHING any of it! This income goes toward my next investment and any future expenses.

Let me know if you have any questions! -Tyler Welcome to Jump In Real Estate's February 2019 rental income report! WOW. What an expensive month :( I knew this was coming. And it finally hit the expense line. I took care of the somewhat major crawlspace issue at My Third Property. If you recall, when I bought the property, there was standing water in the crawlspace. I had a mold inspector verify this wouldn't be a huge health-issue, but I still had to find and prevent the water issues. Was it a foundation thing? Was it grading of the backyard? Was it leaky plumbing? More details below! My First Property I bought this single family house in December of 2016 and SOLD it in May of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "C" Class neighborhood. NO FEBRUARY INCOME. See how it performed HERE.  My Second Property I bought this single family house in March of 2018. 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. It's currently rented to two medical students on a 12-month lease.  Little repairs add up. This month, I had some clogged up pipes to the washing machine, which required a plumber to take a look and repair them ($165). On top of that, the laundry room door kept jamming up, so I had someone go out there and replace it ($95). All in all, it was a positive cash flow month which is awesome!....but, I only brought in $38.38 after all expenses. Still, cash flow is cash flow! Income Gross Rents: $995 TOTAL: $995 Expenses Mortgage: $346.25 Property Taxes: $216.32 Insurance: $44.50 Property Management: $89.55 Repairs: $260 TOTAL: $956.62 Income ($995) - Expenses ($956.62) = Cash Flow from My Second Property: $38.38 My Third Property I bought this duplex in July of 2018. Both units are 2 Bed/1 Bath in a "B" Class neighborhood. The lower unit is currently rented to a young married couple and the upper unit is rented to a young professional.  Fingers crossed, this is my last MAJOR repair for awhile... My crawlspace water issue is now officially fixed. And with that, came a hefty $6,000+ expense. FUN. TIMES. But, this is the nature of being in real estate. And another big reminder to always have plenty of cash reserves ready. So, all in all, I have a new drainage system in the crawlspace, and repaired the rotten and damp joists.
Income Gross Rents: $1,725 TOTAL: $1,725 Expenses Mortgage: $654.36 Property Taxes: $221 Insurance: $60.50 Property Management fee: $172.50 Repairs: $6,565.98 TOTAL: $7,674.34 Income ($1,725) - Expenses ($7,674.34) = Cash Flow from My Third Property: -$5,949.34 My Fourth Property This is an 80-unit apartment complex in Louisville that a group of partners and I purchased.

FULL PORTFOLIO CASH FLOW: -$5,910.96 I say this all the time, but ALWAY, ALWAYS, ALWAYS have reserves to pay for unexpected repairs, and always keep part of your cash flow for future expenses as well. Bottom line: have cash in your back pocket ready to be deployed for emergencies.
It's going to take some time to make this money back, but I'm playing the LONG game and am not concerned right now. Yes, it's concerning to drop this kind of money, but I'm always evaluating and assessing the investment. ***VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: even if I brought in positive cash flow after all my expenses, I'M NOT TOUCHING any of it!
