Newbie Flipper Adopt me Experts

Thomas Jones
Posted

So I am looking to purchase my second property... I just found a deal it is a 2 family selling for only $25,000.

Unit 1 is listed with 2 bedrooms but has a 3rd w/ no closet. It has newer windows but that is probably the only new thing in the house. It will need new floors, kitchen, bathroom, and heating.

Unit 2 is listed as a 4 bedroom but has a 5th also w/ no closet. This unit needs a lot more work. The roof is caved in in one room. New floors updated kitchen and bathroom, doors, paint, etc.

I will be putting together a budget today and posting it hoping you experts will let me know how real this will be.

Also I am unsure if this is going to be a buy n sell or a buy hold n rent. Ive done my numbers and either way it looks like an amazing deal.

Thanks in Advance.

Assuming the rents are adequate, and you can control the rehab budget, this does sound like a good deal.

A room must have a closet to be a bedroom. If you can find a way to add a closet without making the room too small, maybe you can increase the number of beds. You could also call these rooms offices. Code says a bedroom must be at least 7'x10', but most people would consider that too small.

Post your repair list and budget and we'll offer our collective thoughts.
