I felt like if I stroll within the door, I simply needed to pay a thousand {dollars}. I don’t know to what? I simply felt like I wanted to place it someplace in the home.

Dave:
It was only a cowl at James’s home to enter.

James:

Dave:

Kathy:
I’m residence. I’m so glad to be residence. I like it.

Dave:
All proper, effectively I’m glad to listen to it. All proper, effectively we have now an awesome present for everybody at present. We’re going to be speaking about offers that each one three of you might be really doing in at present’s market. Everybody is aware of that this has been a difficult and complicated yr, however offers are on the market for positive and Henry, Kathy and James are going to share with you among the offers that they’re engaged on proper now.
Earlier than we get into that, we’re going to check your information with a recreation that uncovers how a lot you recognize about residence patrons proper now. And I feel it is a actually good information set for us to take a look at as a result of no less than, I don’t know if you happen to guys encounter these individuals, however everybody’s like, “Who can afford to purchase a home proper now on this market?” Or, “Who’s really nonetheless taking part on this market?” And at present we’re going to see how effectively you really know the reply to that.
All proper, what’s the common age of a house vendor? Henry, let’s begin with you.

Henry:
Oh, common age of a house vendor. I’m going to go 37.

Dave:
Okay. James?

James:
I promote numerous homes, so I’m going to go my age 40. Perhaps, I’m hoping I can, I’m bringing the median into there. So 40 is what I’m going with.

Dave:
All proper, Kathy?

Kathy:
I’ll say 42 as a result of they’ve obtained extra youngsters and so they want more room.

Dave:
Nicely, regardless of this being a trick query, as a result of there are literally no residence sellers this yr, they did give us a solution, which was 60. 60.

James:
What?

Dave:
Boomers are promoting.

Kathy:
Oh, wow.

Dave:
Yeah. 60 is the median age of residence sellers. That’s loopy. Wow.

Henry:
As a result of they will promote the house they purchased for $20,000 for 486 million?

Dave:
Sure, precisely. Yeah, it’s simply pure revenue. All proper, for our final query, that is an fascinating one. The place did most residence patrons discover their residence buy? So how did they establish the house that they wished to purchase? And I ought to point out all of this comes from NAR, all of this information. So some solutions simply so you recognize, are just like the web, by means of an agent, a yard signal. What’s the most typical strategy to discover a residence nowadays?

Kathy:
Web.

Dave:
All proper, James?

James:
I imply, it’s obtained to be the web. All people is hooked on Redfin and Zillow, so I really feel fairly assured it’s going to be that.

Dave:
Completely. Henry?

Henry:
You must be proper. Yeah, it could actually’t be anything.

Dave:
All proper. You’re appropriate. I needed to provide you with guys a simple one. Kailyn, give me an possibility of a pair.

Kathy:
Thanks.

Dave:
And I simply picked the one which I knew none of you would get unsuitable. Nicely, thanks as at all times for taking part in. We at the moment are going to take a break after which transfer on to our dialog concerning the offers that you simply all are doing.
Welcome again to On The Market. We’re going to now discuss offers that everybody is doing proper now. Henry, I’d love to start out with you. Inform me a bit bit a couple of mission of curiosity that you simply’re engaged on proper now.

Henry:
Nicely, at the beginning, I like doing these reveals as a result of we’re typically telling individuals, “You’ll want to be investing irrespective of the market.” And so we really get to point out that we’re really doing this, and so, one which’s nice.
Two, I actually admire you, Dave, for letting me go first as a result of my offers at all times appear so humbling in entrance of those multimillion greenback offers that these different individuals do, and so thanks for not placing my tiny deal behind James or Kathy’s multi-million greenback operation. It makes me really feel so significantly better.

Dave:
You’re welcome.

Henry:
Yeah, man. I like being the small city man and so the deal I’m presenting is a flip deal, it’s a single household flip. We’re buying it for $200,000. The renovation price range is someplace between 15 and 25 relying on what we determined to do with it. I feel we landed someplace proper round 20,000 on the renovation and it’s promoting for 310,000 proper now.
What I like about this deal for this market, is the market is telling us proper now, that you simply’re going to receives a commission for doing flips as a result of homes are nonetheless valued very excessive and other people nonetheless try to get or desirous to get these 2022 numbers, and in some instances they’re. And so with rates of interest being so excessive, it’s troublesome to cashflow a few of these single household offers.
It’s a lot simpler, or I ought to say it’s a lot more easy to cashflow multifamily offers, however while you’ve obtained a single household deal, it’s onerous to make {that a} rental. Generally it’s even onerous to make it a short-term rental and make the cashflow make sense with the excessive rates of interest. And so it is a nice deal for this marketplace for a few causes.
One, it’s a mild renovation, that means it’s lower than $40,000. It’s beauty. We’re placing paint on the partitions, we’re updating the flooring, granite counter tops, placing a backsplash in. We’re solely updating one of many lavatory showers, the opposite one is okay the way in which it’s. It’s in a working class neighborhood the place lots of people have to and wish to reside. And so I do know there’s demand there to reside in that neighborhood. There’s colleges round it. It’s near the interstate so you will get anyplace pretty rapidly, however as a result of it’s a light-weight renovation, which means two issues.
One, I can get the job completed pretty rapidly. And two, it saves me a ton of cash as a result of rates of interest are excessive and the price of cash is excessive. And so the much less time I can maintain one thing, the higher for me. And so doing 100 thousand {dollars} renovation, positive you will get to larger earnings that approach, however you’re going to eat up numerous your earnings and holding prices, while you’re doing these massive renovations.
And so this one, I can flip it round pretty rapidly. We’re promoting it for 310 and so we must always internet someplace between 60 and $70,000 for doing $25,000 value of labor. I’ll do these all day lengthy, so doesn’t make sense to carry this one. I couldn’t lease it for what I’ll be all in for, however I’m pretty assured in having the ability to promote it due to the situation and it’s going to avoid wasting me cash on the renovation time.

James:
Lipstick flip. I like that deal. And that’s an enormous, I imply it doesn’t matter the dimensions of the offers, it’s about what’s your annualized return within the money on money. That could be a nice deal.
Henry, how are you leveraging that deal too? Are you A, do you want a mortgage? B… I just like the mortgage to worth on that for positive, however how are you, how a lot money are you going to have in that deal? 60 grand on a beauty deal is a superb, I imply that’s an awesome hit, particularly in that market.
In our metro markets, we are able to’t get these returns on beauty offers at that value level. If we’re shopping for a beauty deal, 200 grand in, we’re going to be a 15% return, perhaps 25, 30% with leverage. Nevertheless it’s out and in actually fast. So what sort of leverage are you stacking on that and what’s your going to be, your annualized return?

Henry:
Yeah. We use a non-public cash on this one. 11% curiosity, curiosity solely funds. I put $5,000 down to purchase the deal and so they’re protecting buy and renovation. So I’m 5 grand out of pocket to ensure that me to show round and promote this factor in 90 days, effectively most likely near 120 days.

Kathy:
I wished to piggyback on what James stated, and that’s the dimension of the deal doesn’t matter. I do imply after we do greater offers and once I clarify mine, you’ll know what I’m speaking about. There’s extra workers you want, so there’s extra overhead and ultimately it could end up that your offers are making extra. So preserve that in thoughts.

James:
Anytime you may hit 13X in your cash in a brief run of window, that’s a house run.

Kathy:
Yeah. That’s a house run.

Henry:
Yeah. No, I like offers like this and I feel individuals have to be extra open to searching for offers like this. I feel what occurs with new buyers is that they do an excessive amount of, proper? Someone would possibly see this deal and attempt to spend 50, 60 grand on the renovation as a result of they wish to tear all of the kitchen cupboards out and put new kitchen cupboards in.
They wish to tear down a wall and redesign the kitchen and relocate it, proper? They see what’s taking place on flip reveals on TV and so they assume that that’s what you should do to promote a home. We didn’t tear any partitions out on this home. We didn’t tear out the kitchen cupboards. We simply took the cupboard drops off, put granite in, put new home equipment in.
Now, the one worth add I wished to say that we did on this place for flips, I at all times search for how can I add worth underneath roof with out spending a ton of cash. And so for this property, the earlier proprietor transformed a part of the storage into inside residing area, however they didn’t take the time to vent the HVAC into that new room. And so it wasn’t included within the heated and cooled sq. footage and so they didn’t do it proper. So the flooring was nonetheless sloped, like a storage flooring may be sloped.
And so we went into that room, tore up the flooring, leveled out the flooring, after which put new flooring in after which took the HVAC, invented it into that room, and we have now it staged as like an workplace or a recreation room. And so we have been capable of now add sq. footage to that room. So as a substitute of promoting this home for 275, 285, we’re promoting it for 310 as a result of we added sq. footage, heated and cooled sq. footage into that room.

James:
Henry, I do know there’s most likely no magic method, however how do you personally resolve how a lot to tackle in a mission like this? I do know you stated that you simply wish to do it rapidly and get in and get out, however how are you aware when sufficient is sufficient?

Henry:
Wanting on the comps? And so we’ll at all times take a look at the comps within the neighborhood to see what’s bought not too long ago and what was completed to these comps to ensure that them to promote. And on this neighborhood, a lot of the comps have been both calmly renovated or not renovated in any respect, in promoting for prime greenback. And so we figured if we may do a light-weight renovation, make it stand out above these and never be all in a ton of cash, then we might be in place. So one of the best ways is you bought to take a look at what your competitors is doing.
My agent will usually inform me, he’ll say, “Hey, I’ll promote this one for you for $325,000, however you bought to do every part.” And he’ll ship me the comp, so I can see what obtained to do every part means. Or he’ll say, “Hey, you are able to do a extremely mild renovation right here.” And he’ll ship me the comp. So we take a look at every part that’s promoting round us to know what we’re going to do.

James:
Yeah. And one other factor to additionally take a look at, and I like what Henry stated is flipping just isn’t artwork.

Henry:
It’s math.

James:
A few of our purchasers, they actually do benefit from the course of. They’re like, “I’m okay making much less cash, as a result of I wish to put this collectively.” And that’s positive, that’s what you need to do as an investor. However what it comes all the way down to is math. What do the comps say? However then additionally what’s your annualized return?
A giant mistake numerous flippers make is that they go for the upper revenue, nevertheless it takes double as lengthy and you can also make much less revenue however make more cash since you’re turning your cash so quick. And so, one factor I at all times love to do on the beauty is, what’s the annualized return? Small revenue is okay, if you happen to’re getting your cash out and in actually fast.

Dave:
All proper, effectively with that, let’s transfer on to Kathy as a result of I feel she is the alternative of a deal that you simply get out of rapidly. Kathy, inform us what you’re engaged on.

Kathy:
Nicely, it is a nice market, opposite to what some individuals assume. That is the time that we’re capable of finding offers once more that we couldn’t during the last 5 years of growth and even longer. I began doing entitlement tasks in 2009 when land was tremendous low-cost, then land costs went up and so they’re nonetheless up, however we’re again to doing a deal that I haven’t been capable of do for some time, which is entitlement, entitlement solely.
So what which means is principally altering using land, it has to undergo town and also you rezone it and it takes numerous work. It’s numerous political ability there since you’re coping with the native metropolis council. And for an entitlement deal like this, you really want to have a good suggestion of whether or not the present metropolis council goes to love your plan, and if that council goes to be in energy for some time, as a result of if impulsively it modifications from development to no development kind politicians, you then’re sort of in a foul approach. Which is why builders don’t actually like doing the entitlement section.
A builder typically isn’t going to simply go in and purchase uncooked land and undergo the entitlement course of. So if you are able to do that for them, it’s actually, actually profitable. So to provide you an concept, once more, that is with my accomplice that I’ve been working with since 2009. He’s a 45-year veteran builder, actually understands these things. It’s extraordinarily dangerous. So I’d solely do an entitlement take care of someone like my accomplice who’s completed so many and actually is aware of negotiate with metropolis council individuals.
So principally we’re shopping for farmland in Danville, California, which is true outdoors, I don’t know, half-hour outdoors of San Francisco. It’s wonderful that there’s nonetheless farmland, uncooked land there and it’s proper off of Crow Canyon and that’s a preferred space. Nice colleges, actually excessive finish space. We have now a purchase order sale settlement for $6 million and an possibility cost of principally a down cost of 250,000, however we don’t have to shut till 2025.
So these are offers that we’ve completed many, many occasions collectively, the place you simply need to put the choice cost and you then undergo this two-year strategy of getting the entitlements and you then do a double shut on the finish.
So we’re in contract for the 6 million, we solely need to put down the 250,000. The remainder of the cash goes in the direction of the entitlement course of and growing the heaps as soon as we get these entitlements. After which we promote the heaps, which can be about $14 million.
So it’s an enormous return for the buyers. It’s a 15% most popular for the buyers. We haven’t come out with this but, we’re nonetheless engaged on some particulars earlier than we do, however we did one thing comparable simply within the city down the road in Dublin the place we tied up property for, I feel we had to usher in about 1.6 million and we bought it for 20 million. The acquisition contract was for 10 million, however we ended up promoting it for 20 million to Pulte Properties.
So on this case we have already got the builder who desires the heaps. They’ve already acknowledged what they’ll pay for these heaps, which is 850,000. It’s solely 16 heaps, however it is a very excessive finish space the place $850,000 for lots is regular, however there aren’t any completed heaps for this builder to purchase and so they don’t like taking the entitlement danger.
So it’s not for everyone, as a result of there may be danger, 100%. Folks need to know there’s danger on this deal, however that danger is basically lessened due to the quantity of expertise we have now within the space and in this sort of factor.

Dave:
So simply so I can summarize, it feels like you might be placing down $250,000 for the fitting to purchase this property for six million. How a lot will it price on prime of that to really do the work of entitlement?

Kathy:
Yeah. So it’d be about 22 months to entitle it. And we have now already spoken to the native board, the supervisors and so they need extra heaps. The cities generate profits when there’s houses that they may get property taxes on. So relying on who’s on the board and in the event that they’re extra pro-growth and no development, they’ve already agreed they like this, the builder’s already agreed. So it’s about 2 million in prices and the land is 6 million and we plan to promote it for 14.

Dave:
Whoo! I like these numbers.

James:
I like entitlement offers. We kind numerous heaps in Seattle. You get them on phrases and the most effective factor about entitlements is you’re getting them on phrases so that you don’t need to deliver up the money.
Now, what Kathy’s doing is a big subdivision, which has an enormous hit on it, however your finish purchaser, that builder can pay you a large premium, as a result of what builders are doing is that they’re all about leverage and shifting their money quickly. If that builder has to return in and park… How a lot was the lot once more, Kathy?

Kathy:
Oh, it’s 14 heaps and we’re paying, will probably be 14 heaps. We’re paying, no, 17 heaps and we’re paying 6 million for the land, however we don’t have to shut on it. That’s we’re utilizing the leverage, the facility of it’s simply an possibility, so we don’t have to shut it for 2 years.

James:
Yeah. And the explanation why builders can pay what they’re paying is as a result of in the event that they sit 6 million down, A, it’s onerous to get leverage on uncooked heaps proper now, however even when they obtained 50%, they obtained to return in with $3 million down. That has to take a seat there for 2 years and builders wish to preserve that cash working and that’s additionally, they want it of their accounts for baking functions and once they can get additional financing on the market.
So the entitlement enterprise is nice since you tie up, you do all of the onerous work and they’ll pay you absolutely the premium when that allow is issued in hand, as a result of they will shut and begin constructing tomorrow, which goes to actually enhance the return.
There’s big, big cash within the entitlement enterprise. We’ve been promoting heaps for 10 years and it is without doubt one of the finest companies on the market as a result of it actually simply comes all the way down to shifting paperwork, working with town after which working feasibility.
Kathy, what sort of feasibility are you guys doing on this? Is it like a 30 or 60-day feasibility? What sort of testing are you doing? What are issues that you simply guys are searching for?

Kathy:
Most of that’s already been completed. We do these studies earlier than we deliver this to buyers.

Henry:
I like these sorts of offers and I’ve heard of different individuals doing comparable offers and I’ve by no means actually gotten into one, till this yr as a result of I’m by chance doing one.
I really purchased a home on a double lot and the home was a tear down and so we ended up tearing it down and I purchased it over a yr and a half in the past. And so again then rates of interest have been decrease and the fee to construct was decrease again then. And so I purchased it. We spent the cash to tear the home down and the plan was to redevelop, to rezone the land, to construct multifamily on it. And so we went forward and did the work to alter the entitlement in order that we may promote.
We have been going to construct and develop an 8-unit property on that land. After which costs have modified and it prices extra to construct now and the rates of interest preserve going up. And so I don’t have the identical return I used to be anticipating. And so I used to be like, “I’m wondering if a developer would love to purchase this.” As a result of it’s already arrange for them to purchase it. We have now all of the approvals, they only want to purchase it and begin the work.
And so we listing, I paid 30 grand for the home, I spent 10 grand tearing the home down and one other 15 grand or so doing the work that must be completed to the land as a way to have it prepared for the event. And now we’re promoting it to a developer for like 170,000. So I’m doing it on a a lot smaller scale by chance simply because I don’t wish to do the mission, however now I’m pondering, “What number of different homes on this neighborhood can I’m going snag for 30 grand and do that once more?”

Kathy:
Yeah. Yeah. So in response to James’ query, I’ve it in entrance of me now that the investigation interval, we try this earlier than bringing buyers in. In order that’s the environmental geotech, the bottom engineering map, organic investigation, the outreach to town of Danville as a result of that’s an important. You’ve obtained to know who you’re coping with. It actually comes all the way down to town council. They may, it’s only a small group of people that can approve or deny. In order that’s most likely one of many largest.

Dave:
All proper, feels like an awesome deal, Kathy. Keen to listen to how that goes two years from now, nevertheless it’ll be very fascinating to see how this progresses and thanks for bringing a brand new kind of deal. I don’t assume we’ve ever talked about entitlement on this present earlier than.

Kathy:
And land just isn’t low-cost at present. Costs are going up proper now as a result of builders acknowledge that there’s actually a have to deliver on new provide. So when you may attain out to an proprietor who perhaps isn’t conscious of that but, and work out a deal like this the place you don’t even have to shut with all of the funds for a short while, it’s an awesome alternative, however that chance may very well be slipping as a result of individuals are turning into extra conscious that land costs are going up.

Dave:
All proper, James, what do you bought cooking?

James:
We’re going to speak about density and maximizing your deal. So we really purchased a repair and flip property in North Seattle about 5 months in the past. We’re at present in permits on it proper now, and we paid $460,000 for this property. Initially, what we have been going to do is put about 110,000 to 125,000 in and promote it for about 7, 750. After which as soon as we began working the numbers on it, we’re going, “Okay, effectively the flip’s, okay. We’re going to make 50 or about 60 to $70,000 in spite of everything prices are stated completed.” Henry’s deal sounds approach higher to me than that.
So it was numerous work for the cash, however we appreciated that purchase value of 460. It’s very, very low-cost for the realm. However as we have been it, what’s occurred within the metropolis of Seattle is there’s been numerous upzoning, numerous reasonably priced housing and they’re maximizing density. They eradicated the only household zoning.
And so what that does, that allowed us, we’re sitting on a 6,800 sq. foot lot and we have now a two bed room, one again home on the entrance that’s 740 sq. toes up prime, after which we have now 740 sq. toes within the basement. And based on new zoning, after we began this, we then realized, “Okay, effectively this would possibly highest and finest use, may be to get this factor densified.”
So what we’re doing is we’re really turning the only household home into an ADU, which is sort of bizarre. It’s an 1800 sq. foot home that can be an ADU. After which we’re constructing an 1800 sq. foot single household home that we’re going to connect this flip property with one single wall at that time and we’re going to have an 1800 sq. foot home. After which we’re additionally going to construct a indifferent DADU, so a two bed room, 2.5 tub, a 1200 sq. foot property.
So by maximizing this, we went from making 60 to $70,000. Now we have now a mixed worth of two.45 million from the 700 that we thought it was. We’re going to have the ability to promote the ADU for about 700,000, the indifferent DADU for about 750 to 800,000, and the only household will promote for about one million to 1,000,050. So as a substitute of flipping the property over a six to 9 month interval, now it’s going to take us about 18 months, however the revenue potential on this deal goes to be roughly about 390 to $450,000, which goes to be an 82% annualized return on that.
So we went from simply doing a easy flip on it to maximizing that the density. And that’s been actually essential in at present’s market as a result of there’s lack of deal stream and if there’s a scarcity of deal stream, you must take a look at how do you maximize that deal in an environment friendly method.
And so we actually sort of stepped, our authentic plan was simply to flip it after which we took a step again and we’re on the center of permits. Along with as soon as permits are issued, we at all times try this as a check-in level after we’re doing these sort of offers. We’d do what Henry did and flip it off to a builder too, as a result of usually builders can pay us about 35% of the mixed worth on this property, which goes to be about $700,000 for this property. So we would have the ability to make $250,000 simply by promoting the permitted web site. So it’s a really versatile, dense deal. It takes a bit bit longer, however the margins are there.

Kathy:
Adore it. You simply gave me an awesome concept for an issue property I’ve.

Henry:
So discuss to us concerning the funding for one thing like this, James. So clearly your rehab price range just isn’t a rehab price range. It’s a brand new development price range now. And so the place does the funding for that come from? How a lot of your individual cash do you must put into doing one thing like this and the way lengthy is it? You stated it’s tied up for 18 months?

James:
Yeah. And that’s an awesome query, Henry. So initially we purchased it with onerous cash and we’re paying 12% curiosity proper now on that. We put $75,000 down after we purchased the property. So we put a bit bit underneath 20% down after we purchased it, and we’re sitting servicing that debt for the subsequent, it’s be a couple of whole allow time of about 9 months on that. So we got here in with about $70,000 down after which we have now to pay about 3,500 to $4,000 a month throughout that point.
As soon as permits are issued, then our native development lender or an area financial institution will then concern us 85% of the overall mission prices. So we solely have to usher in 15% of the overall invoice, which goes to be about 460 plus, about 1.35 mil to construct that out. So we are available with 15% of that along with, we even have an curiosity reserve, so we make no extra curiosity funds for the 12 months at that time.
And in order that’s how we get to the 82% annualized money on money return as a result of our whole down cost on that is going to be about 300 grand and we have now potential to make 350 to 400, all stated and completed.

Henry:
So what you’re saying for individuals who most likely aren’t acquainted is that deferred curiosity means when you begin the development interval, you don’t need to make any curiosity funds, so your carrying prices are decrease throughout that development interval or simply no matter you’re paying to your utilities. Is that appropriate?

James:
Appropriate. Yeah. The financial institution principally builds that into the mortgage to worth, so we don’t need to make an curiosity cost or debt price that whole time.

Henry:
It’s fairly candy.

James:
Native banks are the important thing. You bought to get good and worth.

Henry:
That’s my jam, man.

James:
Yeah.

Kathy:
I like it. And in California, that’s a method you may really generate profits as a result of there may be laws the place cities actually can’t flip down an ADU if you happen to have been to place a second unit in your property. Nonetheless some do, just like the city I’m in, nonetheless can’t do it, however it’s a actually nice strategy to enhance density, present extra housing, and enhance the worth. I like it.

James:
Then you definately wish to ensure wherever you’re wanting that they assist you to economize them off. In Seattle, we are able to really do a apartment overlay. Condominium every a type of off and promote them individually. Some cities don’t enable that, so that you do wish to analysis that. With Seattle, as soon as that handed, it simply made sense for us to start out actually exploring that mannequin.

Henry:
Yeah, man. With the density points doing ADUs and DADUs have gotten far more simpler to do. You continue to need to take care of numerous the NIMBY people typically, however I imply, it was once very troublesome to get approvals to do issues like this, and so now the approvals are straightforward. It’s simply extra about how do you construction the funding to have the ability to pay for a few of these issues.

James:
And NIMBY, after all, not in my yard. Yeah, that’s so typically the case. However once more, in California, they did cross a legislation that I don’t even assume nimbyism will cease an ADU until you’re in a coastal fee space the place they override every part and so they don’t need an excessive amount of density close to the ocean for, I don’t know, environmental causes. However if you happen to’re not close to the coast, it’s actually onerous to dam an ADU in your land.
So if in California, if you happen to may do one thing like that in these high-priced markets the place you get a home with a big sufficient lot, you may positively enhance worth that approach or simply preserve the property and have two leases on one.

Henry:
My different query for you, James, was you had talked about while you have been speaking concerning the deal, you have been sort of pricing out every particular person construction. Does that imply you’re going to promote every construction individually or are you simply saying that every construction is valued at this quantity after which we’ll promote the entire thing to at least one individual? Or are you subdividing that land?

James:
We’re apartment clever, so we’re promoting them individually. If we went to promote it, it really mathematically wouldn’t make sense to purchase that at two level, our mixed worth round 2.3, the cap charge could be like a 5 cap. Now, that was working when charges have been low and there was numerous demand for rental property at the moment. However in at present’s market, we’re pricing all of them individually.
