How to handle an inherited home
Hello bigger pockets family I would like to get your take on a situation.
I have a 61 year old retired family member that’s currently renting for $1350 a month and they recently inherited a home in the DFW area. It’s located in a working class neighborhood. The home needs a little work. A second mortgage was taken out by the deceased relative. The details are below.
I would like to know what you all think, repair and live in it or repair and rent it out.
Home was built in 1968
3 Bed /2 Bath 1760 sqft
Mortgage Balance = $25K
Estimated Rehab = ($10K resell) ($6K rental)
ARV = $115K
Rental Estimate $1250
