Two Bedroom Condo
Investment Info:
Condo fix & flip investment.
Purchase price: $210,000
Cash invested: $30,000
Sale price: $315,000
This was a condo we purchase off our tax lien list. Homeowner needed a fast cash sale & we were able to deliver. The property needed new kitchen & bathrooms.
What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
The price & the amount of work needed to resell.
How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
Tax Lien list. I listen to the seller and his needs. This allowed me to negotiate a win win transaction.
How did you finance this deal?
Cash
How did you add value to the deal?
Renovated Kitchen, 2 bathrooms & installed new furnace & condenser.
What was the outcome?
A very happy buyer who loved the renovated unit so much she paid over asking.
Lessons learned? Challenges?
- Work is work. Just because its a cosmetic flip it doesn't mean you won't be less involved.
- Not to over itemized scope of work. Some times is best to give a subcontractor most of the work (it could save time & money)
- Found out that different towns have different reselling requirements.
