Offer: $105,000
Estimated Repairs: $4,500
ARV: $130,000
FHA Loan @ 3.5%(Duplex.. going to live in the down stairs unit)
30 years @ 3.875%
Total Cash vested: $7,815.00
Monthly Income if both units rented: $1,350
Monthly Expenses: $982.12(Including... P&I, PMI, Vacancy, CapEx, Insurance, Taxes and Repair costs)
The home seems to be rock solid, beautiful hardwood through out(Had two inspectors check the property out thus far). Carpet in the upstairs bedrooms, recently remodeled baths both up and down stairs. Hoping to stay here for a year and then refi and do the same thing once more.

congratulations @Brandon Chavis
You have some equity in the house, and you get part of your monthly expenses paid by a tenant. Can't beat that. Most importantly, you're getting experience as a landlord and investor.
Looking forward to hearing more success from your future acquisitions.
