Just want to share with fellow members a recent deal. I acquired this property while attending a garage sale to pick up some end tables. Home is located 6 houses down from my personnel residence. It was listed on MLS with no success as the current homeowner started work on a bathroom and never finished. Homeowner was behind 3 payments. After analyzing the deal I offered to purchased “sub2” as long as they made the back payments. They agreed. My initial intentions were to keep it as a rental but the current tenant loved the house/area so I gave her a high sales number and she agreed.
The numbers:
Purchase Price- approx. $115K (sub2)
PITI- $1,112
Rehab- $11,600 (foundation was repaired after securing an option fee to purchase property of $3K, cost $5,200)
Rent- $1,500 (leased for 8 months)
Sales Price- $160K
Net Profit – $29,200
