Too good to be true?
I have the opportunity to buy a property. I would appreciate all feedback. Here are the details:
10,000 Sq ft
13 rooms rented $500-750. Per room, depends on size
2 Huge living room areas
5 bathrooms, 1 full and 4 half
2 full size eat in kitchens
1/3 acre mostly fenced
Basketball sized, concrete back yard
3 storage sheds
Swamp coolers, 2
1 new boiler, 1 refurbished Heat system
Fresh paint inside and most rooms newer carpets
This property is currently a boarding home for elderly or disabled people on fixed incomes.
Current realtor appraisal of $480- $500,000. Asking $365,000.
They are on a deadline to avoid foreclosure.
My question to them is why they can't afford to pay the mortgage if they are truly getting at least $500+ a month from 13 people/rooms. The numbers seem to work.
