An opportunity to buy SFH (Condo)
BP Family - needing guidance on a potential opportunity to help my grandmother.
She wants to sell her 2 bdrm + 2 ba condo in a (C+ - B-) neighborhood - (The Wingate Condominiums) in North Dallas. If you're familiar with North Dallas - it's near Walnut & Audelia :/
Her condo is in need of a full interior renovation, but she doesn't have the money for additional improvements.
Comparable condos in her neighborhood are currently selling for $90K+ (after renovation)
Questions
1) What is her next best move if she still owes 65% of the loan?
2) Should I pay for the renovation and help her sell?
- Should I use my own money or are there other options?
- If I help her sell - how do I estimate a fair return for both of us?
3) Should we renovate, hold and rent the property out?
- Less inclined to do this option, as neither of us wants to be landlords
4) Should I offer her a fair price for what it's worth, then buy, fix, and flip?
Additional suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance!
