First Quadplex - Newport, DE

Last November, a partner and I purchased a quadplex in Newport, DE for 40k after negotiating directly with the owner who was way in over his head trying to rehab by himself (much more to that story...). 

This was a complete gut job of 4500 sf. There are two 3/1 units, one 2/1 unit and one 1/1 unit. It was a very big job, but my partner's construction company has done all the work and we are 90% complete after 3 months. Hoping to have it fully rented by 4/1. Then we'll refi and do it again. And by the way I have a possible deal on 6 duplexes (12 units) and could use some hard money lenders.

Summary

Purchase = 40k

Rehab = 160k

Total = 200k

ARV = 450k

Unit 1 = 1400/mo

Unit 2 = 1200/mo

Unit 3 = 900/mo

Unit 4 = 1300/mo

Total Rent = 4800/mo (2.4% of investment)

HUGE CONGRATS on that rehab!!! I've driven past it many times going up Rt 141 and have seen the progress. Looking forward to seeing more pics and hearing more stories such as yours. I live in DE and am new to REI. Working through the education process while fixing my own home to get a HELoC to fund my 1st deal ... hopefully a duplex / triplex for a buy and hold. Again, congrats to you and your team and I wish you an abundance of success :)

141... ay yi yi! :) No wonder I haven't seen it (I avoid 141 at all costs with the bridge replacement, and now they're commencing road work down to one direction each way due to more construction)
