How to structure? Interesting BRRRR (maybe flip) opportunity

Hey everyone, would like to get some input on this opportunity. We've only discussed this over lunch once and have plans to continue to flesh out a plan forward. Hopefully your input will help us.

I have a friend who has a rental property he wants to sell to purchase rentals closer to his residence.

Property details:

-Remaining loan balance: $45k

-Current renter has been there for ~7 years and is month to month

- rents for $900/month (rent hasn't been raised in 7 years)

- my friend speculates about $15k rehab needed to get to an ARV of $100k

Goals of friend:

- get rid of property with a bit of a cash in pocket. Would fix up and sell it himself, but then would be knocked with capital gains taxes and recuperation taxes from depreciation over the years

- doesn't have much time or desire to rehab the property himself right now

Here's the potential plan forward:

- the tenant is given some amount of time to move out.

- my friend pays off the remaining mortgage note of $45k

- my friend deeds me the property

- my friend pays for all rehab

- my job is to do all the work (I'm handy) and handle logistics of rehab if a contractor is needed.

- once I finish rehab, I'll put a renter in for $900 (or raise to market rent at this time. If this is fall/winter, would probably rent for lower price on a 6mo lease to fill quickly and get me to May 2020 timeframe and raise rent then)

- I'll do a cash out refi for ~75% LTV...so $75k cash out which will all go directly to my friend. This will repay his 45k+15k for rehab +15k cash in pocket.

- I'm left with a cash flowing property with none of my own cash in.

Alternate strategy would be to sell the property for $100k instead of renting and split profit 50/50 (~$15-20k each). But I believe if be hit with a massive capital gains tax then too. Plus I'm focusing on buy/hold so flipping isn't my first choice.

What do you think of this plan? What are we forgetting? This seems like a win-win, but I want to make sure there isn't something major were missing.

Thanks in advance!
