First timer and the cash flow seems too good to be true
First time investor here, In a few days i am going to look at a propery in Coatesville PA. It is an REO in a B class area listed for 38K, a fixer upper. (2) 2 bed/1bath apartments. Me and my partner who are splitting the Purchase and Rehab costs have a 20K rehab budget; which we believe is enough for laminate, carpet, paint, new countertops, tubs, appliances and probably a new roof if we do the work ourselves (we are handy and going to take measurements to confirm budget). Similar apartments rent around $700 a month in its existing condition, after rehab we expect to get 850-900 per door and we are going to self manage. 58K dollars all in with comps of a rehab project around 100K
