Is this a deal or a dud?
I found a distressed property with the following information:
- AVR $400 K
- Lines $40 K
- Mortgage balance is $285 K
- Repair estimates $50 K
- Asking price $340 K
- 2360 SF
- 6 beds 3 bath
- Okay neighborhood
- Owner motivated, filed for BK recently and heading for foreclosure
I want to know what is the best way to approach this? Is subject-to an option? I have never done one one of these what is the best way to do due diligence and make sure I am not missing anything? Any good resource to learn nuts and bolts of subject-to deals? any guidance is greatly appreciated.
