Structural repairs and BRRR strategy

Ashley Russell

Posted
We are under contract on a new deal 3/1 for $115k in south St Pete and just had our inspections today. We knew it was a fixer upper that needed major work but the inspectors found more termite damage than anticipated and even evidence of a previous fire. Structural repairs will have to be made in the attic and crawl space. We planned to put about 30-40k into it to open up walls, remodel the kitchen and bathroom and possibly even add a bath. If we have to spend $15-20k on structural repairs, there isn’t much left for the ‘value add’ items that will bring up the appraisal. Should we walk away or will an appraisal pickup structural repairs?

If repairs are more than initially estimated, renegotiate the purchase price accordingly.
