This property was bought subject-to from an out of state seller. House needed a bit of repair after sitting vacant for 2 years. we worked a relationship with a contractor/tenant for discounted rent in exchange for his labor renovating the property. More to follow!
What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
First experience with a sub2, low personal capital investment.
How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
Driving for dollars. I gave this address to my wholesaler who I have a relationship with where every lead I give her that she gets under contract, I have first right of refusal.
How did you finance this deal?
This deal is a Sub2, taking over the sellers existing mortgage. The only cost incurred is rehab materials and assignment fee/closing costs.
How did you add value to the deal?
We plan to renovate the property and rent it out!
What was the outcome?
Currently leased to a contractor/tenant, doing the work to renovate the property for a discount in rent.
Lessons learned? Challenges?
Definitely interesting and a new experience working a sub2 deal. Very grateful for the experience of our closing attorney throughout this process.
Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
