How to buy and keep?
Hi! I'm a newbie who found a home where I developed a relationship with the home owner. The home needs extensive rehab and the comps in the area have excellent returns even after rehab. However, my challenge that keeps taking me to a dead end is the solutions to try to acquire the home without personal finances (I'm starting over):
1. private investor- can't rehab a home that will be owner occupied.
2. FHA 203k rehab loan - capital?
3. Family - N/A
Someone shared that there is a way that I can make a short-term loan with someone to fix the home just enough to make it appear habitable to get an equity loan and use that money to repay the person/remodel, then use the equity loan as my mortgage. I plan on staying in the home for about 3 years until my son graduates and then sell the home.
Serious suggestions that I can work towards will be greatly appreciated! =) . I know that I will fall. I hit my ceiling. I am ready to try another solutions. =)
The owner is willing to sell me the home for $90k with verified realtor comps going for $187k-$207K. See images below.
