What do you think of this deal? Help needed as well.
So this will be my first offer for a foreclosure home. Here is the deal
Asking: 83k
ARV: 140K
Rehab: 6k (paint, carpet and appliances)
Rental: 1350-1400/ month if I buy and hold.
Both rental and sale comp has DOM about 20 days.
Solid deal to you?
My agent is asking if I want to put the offer under both of our names (me and my wife). Does it make a difference? If this has implication on mortgage, then I would rather it is just under my name so both of us can get 20 mortgage, instead of 10 if all mortgages are under both of our names.
I want to put in an offer really soon but I can't find a contractor who is willing to give me a solid price yet. Is that a red flag? Should I get a solid quote before I make an offer?
Thanks in advance.
