Flip it or Keep it?

[Pierre Eade]

A few weeks ago I purchased a 4-plex (3 Residential, 1 Commercial) in downtown Trenton, NJ.  My purchase price was $240,000. I borrowed 100% of the funds to make the purchase $75K & $100K private loans at 8% and a hard money loan of $75K. The gross monthly rent is $3300.  

A few weeks before I went to close, I was contacted by a young flipper who is extremely liquid and looking to put his cash somewhere. He asked me the selling price, so I said $450K. He didn't flinch. I told him that was the As-Is price, but I was going to put some work into the property and would sell it to him afterwards, with the necessary CO for $475.  Again, he had no problem with the price at that point.

Assuming this guy is good for the money, what would you do & why? Take the money and run to my next investment or hold the property.

I'm sure there are a 100 other factors and questions you may have about the deal, but in order to avoid writing a book, I'll stop here. Feel free to ask me any questions or extrapolate based on any assumptions you may have about the deal. Thank you in advance.
