Dad's NC House is Slowly Rotting - Likely Need to sell As-Is!

Long Backstory, but my Dad owns a house in Greensboro, NC but has not lived in it consistently in 4-5 years. He currently travels often for work and resides in TN. It is slowly rotting and needs significant repairs to get it prepared to sell to a typical home buyer for a primary residence. It was bought in 2004 and due to financial issues, I believe ~$197k is still owed on the mortgage. Market Range for neighborhood is $330-415k. Based on rough assessment, the following is needed just to get it listed:

Needs Low Mid High
Roof $7,747.00 $12,580.00 $26,037.00
Siding $20,000.00 $25,000.00 $30,000.00
Windows $9,000.00 $12,000.00 $18,000.00
New Deck $8,000.00 $10,000.00 $12,000.00
Roof Leak Repair $2,000.00 $3,500.00 $5,000.00
Mold Mitigation $1,000.00 $2,500.00 $3,500.00
AC Units $13,000.00 $15,000.00 $18,000.00
Carpet Replacement $2,500.00 $3,500.00 $5,000.00
Kitchen Remodel $5,000.00 $10,000.00 $20,000.00

Total $68,247.00 $94,080.00 $137,537.00

Due to lack of capital to fund these repairs, I believe the best option is to find an investor looking to flip. 

Sell it for $220-240k range

Investor puts in $60-90k, 

Flips for $350-400k realizing a profit of $50-100k. 

Any thoughts or investor leads are greatly appreciated!

Hi Matt,


Would definitely be interested in checking out the property! I’m on the hunt for my next primary and would like it to be a project. Which part of town is it in? Happy to help with listing if that’s the way you decide to go too!
