Sub2 Help!!! (Philadelphia)

[Elijah Little]

Hello BP community, my name is Elijah. I'm a newbie investor and I'm still fishing for my first deal. I have a deal with a lot of Sub2 potential, but I'm not sure how I should structure the deal or what contracts to use. The seller's motivated and just wants to get rid of the property with a little bit of $$ for her equity. She's not pressed for cash as she too is an investor, she's primarily concerned with alleviating the burden more than receiving any $$ at this point. Initially I wanted to do a wrap, but the property is cash flowing with a tenant occupant, making it more valuable in my opinion. My question is; is there anyway strategic ways I can acquire this property Sub2 having no money to cash her out for her equity? I really would like to keep this property for myself rather than wholesale it or evict the tenant to do a wrap.

Here's the #'s: PITI $470.00, Balance $55k payments are current, Rent $700.00, Market Value after 2016 $84k

P.S. Any advice or direction with this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your patience,

Elijah Little

How much downpayment? And what is the zipcode? The rent price seems way low, and that shows that the property is either under rented or in bad shape. Or in a really bad areas. I do lower income rentals in Philly and Delco and all my 3 bedrooms get around 1k. My lowest rent is 990, and I will be raising to 1020 next lease.

Anything major that is deferred in the house? Water heater, appliances, furnace or roof? 

Flat Roof in a rowhome in Philly will run you around 2k max. 

A new furnace may be between 1k-3k depending how good of a negotiator you are.

New water heater installed, maybe around 450-550? 

If any, or all of those, break would you be able to fix it? 

At your limit of cashflow of 230 a month, if the roof is bad you will spend 8 months of cashflow and change to get that back. That is a long time.
