Does it make sense to buy this flip as a rental property?
I am always combing though the (over-priced) listings in South Florida and I am looking for things that can cash flow or at least break even, which is a rarity. I prefer lower-priced properties because I think it limits risk a bit. Well, I found this small house, and it seems like the numbers would work.
But it is obviously a flip, so that gives me pause- Is it really a good deal considering that it is a flip? According to records, it was bought in December 2019 for $87,000 and the seller is now listing it at $275,000. It has no HOA. The calculator/report says it should work if I put a large down down, but that seems odd to me. What do you think?
