We found a 1600sf, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1 carport bank owned property built in 1967 that looked promising – ask price $89,000.00.
Project Numbers:
We did our home work, put in our offer at $70,000.00, and settled for a purchase price of $78,000.00. After we got our bids in, our projections looked like this; Sale Price $150,000.00 Demolition $820.00 Paining, interior, exterior, doors, porch concrete $4,170.00 Carpet $1,510.00 Electrical $730.00 Plumbing $1,110.00 HVAC Service and Repair $1,095.00 Landscaping $980.00 Roof, repair leak $300.00 General repairs $4,825.00 Cleaning Service $400.00 Termite Treatment $460.00 Total $16,400.00
Time Line Goal:
2-3 weeks to close on the purchase, 2-3 weeks to fix, 6 weeks to get an offer, and 4 weeks to close on the sale. Exit Strategy: Plan A – Sell it straight out for top dollar. Plan B – Sell by way of a short term lease option (6 months). Plan C – Lease it long term until the market allows you to sell for big bucks. Results:
On the purchase we closed in 15 days, it took 23 days to fix up. Next we put the property for sale at $160,000.00 to test the market. Believe it or not 8 days later we got a full price offer. The buyer was asking us to contribute 3% toward their closing cost, and 45 days to close escrow. The buyer was getting a VA loan – this seemed way to long for us but the buyer’s loan officer assured us it could not be done faster (Wells Fargo Hmm). We signed the papers and opened escrow.
The buyer’s inspector ripped our house apart as any good inspector always does and we ended up deducting $3,500.00 from the sale price in lieu of repairs. Next the appraisal came in at $148,000.00…. bummer. At this point we had to make the decision, whether to move forward or not. Given that a VA appraisal is tattooed to the property for six months we decided to adjust the price again and move forward. 91 days later we recorded the sale. Here are our actual figures;
Offer Price $160,000.00 Lessons Learned:
Everything went as expected until we got a full price offer, this was better than expected. Next
Overall this was a great project and we are off to our next one :)
