Should I Hold or Flip property?
Good afternoon BP members!
I wanted to get an opinion on a current property we have. It's a single family home in a great location that's walking distance to a rapidly growing university.
-year built: 1927
-It's a 4BR 2BA and low market rent is $1200 with high being $1500
Expenses:
-30yr loan Amt with escrowed ins. $535.
-city taxes: $1200/yr
-also not included is $???/month cap-ex,10%vacancy rate,10%repair & maint. or any other exp.
-water/electric/Garbage: tenant pays
______________________________________
-Purchase price: $91,577
-Rehab exp & holding fees: $23,423
-Total investment: $115,000
-Potential sale price: $170-180k
-Profit: $55-65k
-Should I do a cash out refinance and leverage the money I have invested in the house and rent(of course my payment would increase if I did that and do not want to be over leveraged)
- Or sell and take my earnings and re-invest?
Although, my end goal is to generate cash flow but also could utilize the profits for a down payment on a much larger cash flowing investments.
(FYI...the home isn't listed with a realtor, we have a seemingly serious buyer that's verbally offered asking price and is ready to sign contract)
Look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. Thanks so much!
All the best,
Paul
