How to Pay for a Ready to Rent Duplex in Atlanta Metro Area
I have a deal on the table for duplex (actully 2 condos) at 850 sq/ft each or 1,700 sq/ft total. Currently being renovated on one side and rented on the other. Current rent is $920 per month but the area will support $1,200 no problem. Roof, HVAC are less than 3 years. New floors, appliances and updated bathroom to be completed in the next week.
Seller is asking $325K minimum. Neighboring property same size (cluster of these condos in duplex or triplex form) is selling for $223K but needs roof, HVAC and updates.
How do I evaluate this property? And most importantly how do I pay for it without putting down 20%? I would like to save that money for incidentals and the next acquisition. I can put down as much as 5%. Are there any lenders in the metro atlanta area I should reach out to for assistance? Thank you all.
