@Gabby Adrian turned out incredible...this is a high risk area...looks like you had a lot of difficulty selling and eventually cancelled?...this is a tough spot to flip...I've seen a lot of investors get burned in this neighborhood on incorrect ARV's or over budget reno's...its interesting to see, though...and maybe some lessons learned on this one.
Not picking on you, I just like to dig a bit to learn...was the $50k reno cost mitigated because the owner was the contractor?...seems like $50k for the caliber of work is really low... How do you account for the 4-months of holding costs, and soft costs from the lender...and what are your plans now that it did not sell...$130k purchase on a $176k construction loan and an ARV of $315k, maybe...seem like the numbers still make sense...will you turn this into a rental or try again next season.

Hey Brandon! The Investor was also the Contractor so the hold time was during the renovation and waiting for it to sell.
So, yes the goal now is going to be a Cash-Out Refi with CIVIC and convert to a long term rental. The area is actively improving but that initial sale wasn't quick. So the investor chose to not keep all liquidity tied up in one property, cash out & convert to a rental instead. This is a common problem that happens with Fix n Flippers -- if it doesn't sell in the anticipated time frame, a great option is to Cash-Out Refi & use those proceeds to move on to your next project. We sent the appraiser out today and will be getting final values out soon!
