Hello-
I own one rental home in Maryland just outside DC. I lived in this home for 11 years. I have a current deal I'm considering that doesn't meet most minimum requirements for CAP rate, Cash on cash return, etc that I see on the forums. Here are the specifics:
- $369 Selling price (new construction), $15% down payment, $12k closing costs, $2700 Monthly rent back (the reputable home builder will rent from me until the community is finished in 4 years, maybe sooner.), no repair costs, no renovation costs, no prop mgmt fees, etc.
I haven't signed the contract yet so some of these numbers are subject to change. Has anyone ever done a Modelhome leaseback? What numbers do you typically look at to determine if this is a "good deal"?

Few questions:
1. Do they still provide any warranty ?
2. Will they repaint the home etc prior to giving it back to you
3. May I ask who is the builder (I am in the area and know most of the builders)
I would run numbers like a typical rental where you have X amount of $ into the deal and it will cash flow Y amount to see what your getting as a return. What is nice is you do not have to deal with tenants and vacancy etc.
@Rhonda Harrison did you end up purchasing this property? I am in a similar situation with a Ryan Homes development in Charlotte, NC and would like some feedback from someone who has purchased and leased back their model home. Thanks and be well!
