Distressed Short Sale Multifamily
Hey,
I've been buying and rehabbing single family homes and renting them out for a while now and with good success. However, I was wanting to scale up and I prefer projects where there is rehab work as I get the appreciation, lower operational and maintenance costs, as well as better quality tenants where I can repair them. I've found a multifamily project in a smaller town that I'm having a difficult time deciding whether or not this project is the best use of my time and money. I'm looking at taking a family partner on this deal so I can spread my risk out a little bit. The property is probably a c location.
The bank is very motivated to get a deal done. I'm looking at purchasing the property for around $64,000 and putting about $104,000 into renovating the units over a six month rehab timeline.
Here are the specs on the property.
There are two buildings on a corner lot. 6 units are two bedrooms/1 bath and 2 units are 1 bedroom/ 1 bath. Both buildings were built in 1976. Buildings seem pretty solid, but one needs a roof as well as almost all the windows need replaced. Most units need a full rehab.
The estimated rents are around $450 for the 2 bedrooms and $375 for the 1 bedrooms. The property needs significant work. Only three of the units have paying tenants, the other 5 units are empty and in poor condition. I estimated I would need to spend about $15,000 a unit on one building and about $11,000 per unit on the second building. I generalized some of the expenses, but for me these costs average out based on past rehabs projects. I would work as the GC and oversee the work and any subcontractors.
I believe I can get the rents up to $500-$550 for two bedrooms and $425-$450 for the 1 bedrooms.

Anyways I wanted to get some feedback. This is a big project. If I were to sell this building later on and it was rehabbed what would you value it at? What would the income be worth to you if it were turn key?
