Just had my first offer accepted on a property owned by the VA. The property is assessed at $120,000, my offer of $42,500 was accepted yesterday. The property will take $25,000-$30,000 in renovations with comps for a 4 bedroom in the area in the $140,000-$155,000 range, which should yield significant equity to put towards another deal. The house will rent for around $1200 a month and the renovations will take around 3 months as I plan on doing the majority of the work myself.

I am hoping for a quick closing with a cash purchase, looking like 2-3 weeks. Please look at my numbers and give feedback. Thank you!

25-30k in renovations.   What would a contractor charge?     Looks like a sweet deal, but don't forget to pay yourself for contracting work done when you crunch these numbers.
