First off, tip of the hat to Brandon and yourself for all that you guys do.
Further details about the deal:
- The property has a tax lien against it and was to be sold on the County court house steps today(06/03/2014). This was why the seller was so motivated to sell.
- The property itself will need $15k-$20k of renovation before it is inhabitable.
- Although the ARV was ~$120k and we could have marketed the property for as high as $40k - $50k ((ARV X 0.65)-repairs) , we didn't have the luxury of waiting around for the right buyer and decided to go with a lower price, especially given that we were able to get it under contract for $2,500
- From initial contract to closing at the attorney, 7 days total.
Thanks @Sarah S. & @Aaron Mazzrillo
