65% rule in CA?
Hi. I'm new on the forum and have a ??
The flipping rule of thumb of 65% ARV minus repair costs makes sense in markets where houses are affordable. I'm wondering if it needs to be modified in southern CA.
If I could buy a house with and ARV of $500k for $400k that had $10k of repairs that leaves $90k to cover holding and sales costs and leaves room for a reasonable profit.
Do most investors in high $$ markets modify the 65% rule and will hard money lenders go along with deals that might be 75% but have a good profit potential?
Thanks
Andrew
