What investment strategy would you pick? (MOTIVATED SELLER)
Motivated seller selling me a 3/2 SFR but not sure what strategy to use.
Property Details:
Written Appraised Value - 134K
Purchase Price - 90K
Rehab - 15K
Rent - 1,250/mth
Tax Rate - 2.54%
Strategy 1:
20-year mortgage, 4.63% interest, 20% down
Purchase, rehab out of pocket, rent it, pay off the mortgage FASTER but collect LESS passive income.
Strategy 2:
30-year mortgage, 4.75% interest, 20% down
Purchase, rehab out of pocket, rent it, pay off the mortgage SLOWER but collect MORE passive income.
Strategy 3:
25-year, 4.125% interest, 45% down
Assume the current mortgage and pay the owner their profit of 40K. They owe 50K to their lender. This would require the most upfront but get the most passive income.
Strategy 4 (BRRRR):
Purchase the property and rehab with cash out of pocket. Rent and season for 6 months, then cash out refi. This would get me the property essentially free BUT would leave me with almost no passive income (break-even) because the rent is not high enough, the mortgage would be for 134K, the property tax is not helping and I would have to close twice in a short period.
What am I concerned about:
1. Not collecting passive income
2. Tying up my cash, I'd like to purchase with as little as possible
3. Property tax appraisal
4. Taking 30 years to fully own
5. Closing multiple times
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
