Snagged a new deal today!
Hot off the press today! Got a verbal offer secured on a this mobile on land.
4BR 1996 double wide on a half acre.
Needs about $14k in work.
PP $57k with seller assist of $1750. I originally tried to get Seller to finance 30%, but they wouldnt go for it. I also tried to get seller to perform all kitchen repairs and again they said "no". They just want out. So, I lowered my price and they countered me a few thousand more at 57k. An extra on this one is there are probably $1000+ in const material at the property.
ARV: $72-74k**
**Some say this isn't a real deal given the ARV. My ARV calc is very stringent. If I open up my radius, its closer to $90k. For my strategy, the beauty here is the rent it will command. I will easily be able to rent for $1100-1200/mo. Additionally, if I lease option this home the contract value approaches $100k, possibly more.
This same deal as a 4 BR stick built house on a half acre in that area would run $175-225k - the beauty of MHs!
My strategy is the BRRRR method. Will buy using a biz LOC, then refinance at 80% (or more if i can get it!). This property meets the quick analysis 2% rule for sure, approximate DSCR is 1.25-1.32.
