Possible 40,000 brrrr deal
Hey BP forums, I recently found a deal in a smaller town in Eastern New Mexico that I need some help in. The basics of the house are it's listed for 48,000 and 3 bedrooms 1 bath 1,700 sqft with no garage. It's in a D-/C neighborhood. The same neighborhood currently has 4 similar style remodeled homes for sale for 90,000+/-5,000. The home was foreclosed on and has been on market for 42 days. I estimated the numbers here
Purchase: 38,000(assuming I can get it for this price
Down payment/closing costs: 10,000
Rehab: 20,000(some examples of what I would do)
-paint
-fixtures
-ceiling fans
-baseboards
-front door
-granite
-backsplash
-appliances
Total in: 58,000
ARV: 90,000
Even if I try to sell at 90,000 and don't get any offers would it be bad idea to lower the price to 75,000 to try to force a quick sale?
My biggest concern is the town I live in isn't very big so it can be pretty competitive.
