Would YOU consider this deal?
So my 18-year-old nephew is the one that got me into real estate. He's been doing this for about a year and he's already done a few flips and deals (as opposed to me, who's only been doing this for two weeks).
Anyway, he reached out to me about a deal he found and he's actually looking for me to see if I was interested. I've never evaluated a deal before and I'm still on the fence about going in on it being so limited in my education.
I need some help evaluating the deal and asking the right questions about it. I
Here's all I know so far:
- The property is under contract at $55,000 and is going through Title
- He'll be discussing with the owner for Land Contract(Seller financing).
- If this is accepted, that's 20% down
- $15k in rent rehab for a hold.
- It's been certified by an inspector as Rent ready but he's thinking of adding an additional $5k into it.
- $400 a month to the owner for utilities, taxes, and fees.
- Will rent for $900-$950
- All in for this option would be around $26k
- With monthly expenses still cash flowing over $400
- Over 18% ROI.
So he's been telling me there's a lot of opportunity into this. He's looking into the FOIA packet at the moment.
Since I'm so new at this, I feel like there's a bit more information that I need in order to find out if I'd like to pursue.
Any recommendations?
