Help Analyzing this deal for me
I came a cross a deal
ARV 150k On the low side can be more like 175k
3bed 2 bath 1471 sq ft
Asking 99k
Rehab 60k
My offer will be 70k (is that to high?)
Looking to get a hard money lender. Not sure rate yet.
Maybe will brrrr if numbers add up which I don’t think they will bc rent in the area wouldn’t be more the $1500 a month but my taxes will be $4800 a yr.
Or wholesale to a contractor that flips
What are you thoughts? Ideas? Something I’m missing?

Without knowing your market and how much do rehabbers make, below is the formula you can use:
ARV x 90% (10% is selling cost like paying a realtor, closing cost, and assumes you need 90 days holding cost, etc)
less repairs
less rehabber profit
equals Maximum Offer for Rehabber to pay for the property
If the ARV is between $150K and $175K, use the average - $162,500. Also, for a $60K repairs, the rehabber might want to make at least $30K profit for the time and effort he will spend doing a $60K repairs
Hence, you have:
$162,500 x 90% - $60K - $30K = $56,250
So if you're going to rehab it, offer $55K
If you're going to wholesale it, better get it for $50K so offer $45K
If you're going to BRRR it, your maximum offer is $61,875, so offer $60K (I calculated it based on 75% x ARV - Repairs formula. When you refi, you might get up to 75% of the ARV. By doing this, you will get all your money out).
Given they are asking $99K, my guess is to just move on and not make any offer because your offer is going to be too low.
