@Boffill Yosleys overall I think the rehab needs a few things completed to make it look like that 1) you didn't run out of money 2) there weren't corners cut elsewhere

I get it. There are some mistakes and the layout was key on this house . But I cannot keep spending on this house.

Quote from @Daniel Dobbs:

If you are getting that much traffic the price is too high or the layout of the house isn’t good. Price you can fix but layout would set you back even further now. If people are saying the rooms are too small upping the buyers side commission isn’t going to help. 

Doesn't matter if it's 20k or 50k under appraisal, it isn't worth that much if people won't buy it. Honestly sounds like it is priced too high from what has been said. Also are you talking about the CMA or you paid someone to appraise the house?

We paid a certified appraiser we got the report and everything

@Boffill Yosleys post a link of your listing. Maybe there are ways to tweak how it appears

Quote from @Ricardo S.:

Increase the agent commission on the Buyer side from the standard 3% (at-least here in GA) to 3.5% or 4%.


 I haven't thought about that. Thanks

What are the comps doing in that area?


 I do not think is my price because we are already 20k under appraisal. But based on the comps I have seen a little bigger houses with garage going for about my appraised value or maybe higher. All these houses are way over the median sales price in this city and I guess everyone is slowing down on prices for that type of properties in the area.

@Boffill Yosleys

Drop the price even further and see if you can create a bidding war

This is assuming you have the cash to payoff your hard money lender.


 I have thought about it but I am already 20k under appraisal and I am getting attraction of clients every week 5 or 6 showings but definitely the layout of the house is not great, not the finishes though. My further step will be to go even lower and take a 10k or 20k loss that I might use for my tax return next year before the hard money debt becomes even more.

Hello guys my name is Yosleys Boffill. I have been flipping houses for a year or so in the Midwest specially in Lousiville,KY. I was doing fine until I decided to go for a more expensive neighborhood and price range. We are selling this house in the Highlands ( good neighborhood) and we have been stuck with it since November. We have dropped the price a lot, we even have an appraisal for 20k over listing price, we have had 22 showings since the last decrease in price.....and nothing. Everyone finds the rooms too small or something that does not fit their family,etc.

I am at the point of breaking even but in a month I will be losing money because of the Hard Money lender payments. The agent has done everything for the marketing and open houses and social media....again people are coming every week. I will appreciate any idea from the most experienced investors on how to proceed on these cases to get out of this hole. I got 3 other flips going on but I will love to get out of this one. Thanks in advance.

Sell it on a Lease Option, get 10% down. Refinance with a DSCR loan.


 I had that option but how do I pay the lender ? 10% will not be enough.... I tried to refi but the rent will not cover my debt. I might even need to put money down.

Hello there folks. Looking to hit my next flip in the Cincinnati area. I will be happy to meet any real estate professional related to the transaction like inspectors, contractors, property managers, lenders, etc.

Any advice will be highly appreciated.
