4 Pack House Deal Opinion

I wanted to ask, as this is a bigger deal for me than I have done before and would love a second, third, fourth.... opinion.

4 houses - 3Bed 2Bath 1,895sf - 3Bed 2Bath 2,088sf - 3Bed 2Bath 1,913sf - 4Bed 2Bath 2,362sf
$750,000 for all 4 homes - $91 per sf
Homes have month to month leases at $1,450 each or $5,800 total
To bring them up to market conditions to sell would require $25,000 each (mix of HVAC, roof, paint, flooring, etc)

Average price per sf in the area is $135.
After renovations $750,000+$100,000 = $850,000 with market value of 8,258sf x $135 = $1,114,830... so potential profit $1,114,830 - $850,000 = $264,000 (less agent and government fees)

After $50k renovation, I could lease them at $1,700-1750 each or $6,800 total

Mortgage P&I at 6% with 25% down ($187,500) will be $3,372 a month.

Insurance is $4,800 a year of all 4 houses

Property Tax is $13,800 a year for all 4 houses

Monthly revenue - (not including maintenance or vacancy costs)

$5,800 - ($3,372+$400+$1,150) = $878 - $522 (PM fees) = $356 ($4,272 yearly)

After 50k in renovations to get them rental ready

$6,800 - ($3,372+$400+$1,150) = $1,878 - $612(PM Fees) = $1,266 ($15,192 yearly)

So, what would you do?

1) Buy them and don't touch them until the renters move out and fix them up then.

2) Buy them and flip them as each tenant moves out and sell them.

3) Buy them, fix them up for rental condition, and rent them at the higher rate.

4) Walk away

Quite a good deal there man. I’d honestly say it depends on what you think the market will look like by the time you are able to sell them if you were to do fix/flip’s on all of them. Maybe a mix of both isn’t a bad idea either. If you’re entertaining doing both I’d sell the two that’ll give you the highest profit and keep the other two so long as they still cash flow. That’ll give you even more capital to put down on other properties. Or if you don’t want more right now I’d hold them until another great opportunity comes up. If it were me, I’d likely do the split and flip two of them while fixing up then renting the other two out at a higher rate. Congrats on finding the deal by the way man! I wish you the best.

Josh, I totally was random.  Called a Property Manager in the area to get some information on a house I was looking at, and he mentioned this deal and sent it over.  Just power of networking I guess.  I only ever bought 1 house at a time, so this 4 house package completely off market is new to me.  Hoping to get them under contract this week and move into due diligence next week.   It is one of those feelings of... I know my numbers... they are working out... but it is such a big jump from what I had been doing I definitely wanted to get a different set up eyes on it.

I like your approach, and agreed that time will tell with this market and interest rates.

Thanks man!

Don’t doubt yourself my friend. If the numbers make sense, get it wrapped up. I know it may be a bit of a big jump, but that’s a great deal for you brother. Keep striving! I look forward to seeing this work out for you.
