Flip as-is or Renovate
Cost of risk scenario.
Reno Scenerio
Off Market Purchase Price - $185k
ARV = $315-335k
Reno - $55-65k
Holding - $10k
Closing both ends - $25k
= $335 , $315-$285 =$30-50k gain
As-IS Scenario
Purchase - $185k
Sale Price on MLS :$225- $235k
Closing both ends - $20k
Holding - $4k
= $235 - $209 =$16-$26k gain
In both scenerios I’ll be 1031ing it into a new investment. Option A would allow me to keep it as a long term rental . B , I lose that option but have less execution risk.

I would go as-is as well! This gives less risk and quicker returns, and more sure net in your pocket.
