summerlin and south summerlin tend to be around 250-500k for properties.. You might want to drive for dollars and find a discressed property.
Most will rent for 1200-1800.
Still under 1%

Not whole selling.. Since I'd be keeping it..
If the property loan is 140.. How much over should I offer? And would it be worth it for a buy and hold

A guy is trying to sell his moms property.
Local Properties are around 180k
He wants 175k
Mom owes 140k on the loan.
Downpayment they want is 5000
I have about 40k ( leverage?)
Rent in the area is 1100
No Agent will be involved.
Zilpy shows:
Rent Estimate (per month)$1,100 (0.73 /sqft)
Rent Low/High (25th,75th %)$1,000 - $1,350
Local Renter Density16% Renters
Vacancy rateLocal: 13.0%
Property Tax is just over $1000
They said they will charge 2% interest rate.
My lender has me at 4.75%
Cashflow should be around 154 for the place?
Should I just offer just above the loan?
How does one do it without a mortgage?
Clerks Office? Etc?
Would this be considering Wholesaling.. Reading this in No money Down book lol.
