Tenants Signed A 2 Year Contract, HELP!

Kelley Phan
Posted

I just got under contract for this 5BED/2BATH w/mother in law unIt property where the numbers run great with almost $600 of net cash flow a month, which I believe to be decent for my first investment property, BUT there are a couple things I ran into and am seeking advice for. 1) During inspection, we found a few hazardous things on the property, that would need a $20k fix. B/c it is such a great deal for my area, my agent is going to try to get the asking price down from 287k to around 260 or to see if they will pay for the fix ups since they didnt disclose any of the dangerous hazards on the seller disclosure, If the seller isnt willIng, then Im out. This home has already been under contract 2x before me. MY QUESTION, why wouldn’t they disclose any of the hazards such as a former flood downstairs due to a leak, or mold in the bathrooms that they tried to hide durIng viewIng or the fact of needing a roof change and updated electrical work. Isn’t that illegal? My agent is going to try to use it as leverage. 2) the very dirty tenants downstairs has very recently signed a 2 year contract for only 1037/mo but I could easily go up to 1100-1200 which is the norm for a downstairs basement that area. CAN I UPDATE THE CONTRACT? CAN I KICK THEM OUT TO FIX THE HOME?

Please help! Thank you!
