@Jared W Smith

I haven't seen many lenders willing to lend someone with no money in the deal without a track record. If you have a track record, you can do possibly 10% at higher rates with a HML or PML and then refinance once the property is where it needs to be. Otherwise I have seen that you would need at minimum 25% down regardless of ARV with commercial or construction financing. Not sure what the price point, but maybe @Robert Withers from M1 Capital can help point you in the right direction.

Also are you an architect for your own firm? Do you only work out of Westchester and Rockland? How about the Bronx? I can definitely use a great architect for my referral list.

@Robert Pole  

What part of Pa? I know Pa and NY are very different. I work and invest out of NY and Poconos, Pa. I'm also looking into Philly. One thing I can tell you about the Poconos or East Stroudsburg and areas near it, is that things are definitely more lax than here in NYC. With that being said I have seen that they are now doing inspections and such in certain townships. I would listen to people above about checking building codes if available and check with an attorney.

@Andrew Cardillo

Different towns and villages require different things. Some areas do inspections every time someone sells or rents, some don't. You must do your research on this area. Are other properties being sold like that or are the changes being made before sale? Have you asked a Realtor, attorney, or title company in the area who deals with every day transactions?

If the deal is a good one regardless, I would move forward with it, keeping in mind that you'd want to these things in the future. If not, renegotiate with the numbers to do these things in mind and see what happens. Don't just walk away, but don't be scared to.

@Milan Obradovic

We do flip properties in and around East Stroudsburg. We have 3 single family rentals in that area as well. I'm looking into Philly now, was actually out there yesterday, because we're looking to do more units. We're looking at 3 to 4 families in Philadelphia for now. We're possibly looking to do something larger after we get our feet wet.

@Michael M.

Hey Michael,

I'm back feel free to call me tomorrow. Great on that 300k over asking for your property. I would probably jump on that or ask for more if you think there is some room. 

The inventory has remained steady and low for the last couple of years in the Bronx. I don't think Spring will change that. If you can find something that works and numbers are good, jump on it, don't wait.
