Rehab Deal Analysis

Owner is motivated to get out of landlord business.

Here are the details:
1) ARV = $175K
2) Purchase price = $135K
3) Repairs and carry costs = $10-$15K

On those numbers...seems marginal.

Now...consider these financials:
1) 1st mortgage at %75 ARV, 6.75%...no points...low closing costs
2) Lender pre-qualifes the re-fi. If you do the rehab you promise to do, the re-fi is almost automatic.
2) lender requires re-fi in 6 months
3) Seller will carryback $25K...1 yr...no interest...no payments
4) I kick in $3K at closing seller pays for the rest of my rehab and carry costs
5) I'll re-fi for $175K in 6 months and still have access to my sellers free loan for another 6 months. Heck, I can buy at least one more house with that!

What do you all think?

    chuck, why is it no good? Did you run the numbers?

    perfecto,

    I am not a pro, so take my posts lightly.

    I just ran the numbers for the fun of it. I see that you will have $21,250 available for rehabbing, but it will only cost you $15,000. You put up 3k at first but you just got that back plus $3,250. Very nice, imo.

    I also see that for the first year your payments will be about $2475/month, and after this year you'll pay about $390/month. (Correct me if I miscalculated.)

    What do you plan to do with the property once you've aquired it? Can you profitably afford the $2475/month for the first year?
