Counter offer received. Thoughts?
Hey guys,
So I made an offer on a 4 family this morning. Asking price was 119K (124K last week) and I offered 95K. Some numbers on the property:
About 500 per unit (fully occupied) and could be raised to maybe 550 or so.
Taxes 3000 per year
C Class area
Tenant pays electric and water
About 200 a month in other utility expenses per month for me
The property does a need a little rehab, but its fully functional as is.
SO
They countered at 117K and will replace all windows (between 25-30). However I am at the upper limit with my bank and can only purchase a property for 110K with 30% down. Anything higher would be additional down payment. I was planning on using a 401k Loan for down payment as Im closing on a different property in a few weeks.
I have until 5:00p today and they claim to have received another offer by email, but its not an official one.
Any help would be great.
