I appreciate your response... :)

@Account Closed

You're right, it doesn't make sense; however there are several really nice comps in the area of up to $400k. I was thinking with a nice upgrade of kitchen, bathrooms, etc. the house could sell for more than $250k.

P.S. I'm new to this...I was just wondering if there is ever an exception to the formula or a creative way to help this family.

I found a seller with a beautiful 75-year old home that needs a lot of work.

He and his wife bought the property in March with intent of rehabbing it for themselves.

Rehab estimates that they received were over $100k; they ended up buying another home.

ARV = $250

Mortgage = $210

I would like to make a reasonable offer for consideration.

He says his monthly mortgage is $620. So I was thinking of a Sub 2 maybe...

Any ideas?

Wow! This forum is awesome! Thank you! 😊

Of course I will seek the help from GCs to get bids; I plan to wholesale this one as I think it may be a bit complex for my experience level (or lack thereof) 

I'll use the BP WS calc and put it under contract. This is very exciting!!! πŸ˜πŸ‘Œ

Thanks again everyone!!!

Well, if you're wholesaling, condition should only matter to the investor.

That being said, in a case study that I read about (this is is Milwaukee) a guy put under contract a BROKEN down home for $4,000. He later wholesaled it to an investor for $11,000 giving him a spread of $7,000 minus whatever costs he faces as a wholesaler (usually at most $800).

However, if you're looking to make it an investment property then that's when condition matters. For the right price, (remember, you want to be fair by including that it wouldn't cost retail because of the condition) you can hire out all the work. Cosmetic work isn't expensive, per se. However, the most expensive starts to arise when you're looking at pool revival, roof replacing, foundational issues, and plumbing. 

Good luck with your property! 

Thanks Bryant! I really want to do my due diligence so that I can be sure to buy at the right price ...I'm putting it under contract and will have GCs take a look. I posted pics in the thread...

I just looked at my first house and there looks to be absolutely nothing salvageable!!! What would be an estimated cost to redo an entire house with swimming pool?!?
