Hello BP :)
As mentioned in the description, I'm an REI noob. I found what I *think* is a potentially good BRRRR candidate. Just want to get feedback from more experienced investors before proceeding.
My agent sent me a copy of the inspection report from the listing agent. Summary:
House was built about 100 years ago.
Converted to a triplex at some time in the past. 100% occupied.
Vinyl siding. Some small / finger-size holes, but overall good.
Linoleum flooring. Recently replaced in unit C.
Interior walls in Unit A are separated from ceiling. Either interior walls were built & installed incorrectly (owner / handyman DIY?), house settling, or weight of roofing (that's what the roofer thinks).
Horizontal & vertical crack in foundation wall. Inspector said related to house not having gutters, so rain puts pressure. Crawl space house.
According to inspector, will need roof soon. Currently 2-3 layers shingles, plus metal roof on top of that. Inspection said it's not clear if it is 2 or 3 layers; also due to age of home, "possibility of asbestos shingles on the bottom layer". Contractor estimated $14k-$18k, due to labor, dump fees, new roof install, etc. He thinks it is 1x6 decking due to age of home; since that is no longer code, it would also need all new OSB roof decking, which is included in that price. Some water stains on unit A ceilings, but I don't know if it is currently leaking, or old stains, if the inspector saw any wet roof decking in the attic, etc.
Lot is ~ 1.5 acres. Landlord pays mowing, and water. Septic tank(s). Backyard fully fenced with gate.
A - 2/1, $425 - window AC, long-term renter (10+ years), smoker (nicotine staining)
B - 2/1, $550 - central HVAC (1987 AC, 2020 furnace)
C - 1/1, $395 - window AC
BestPlaces says the local area has 5% unemployment, with positive job growth of 2+%. Median home cost ~$125k, w/ 8+% appreciation past year. Renters are ~ 45% of local population, w/ $750+ median 2 bed rent, $625 1 bed rent. Major employers are related to healthcare, education, and manufacturing.
Was under contract for $120k, but buyer backed out due to roof cost. Now at $80k, as-is. My agent could not really find comps, but estimates $115-120k. Has been on the market a long time (over 3 months).
So, what say youse guys? :)
