How should I structure a deal here?
Hi BP!
First time posting. Just wanted to get your valuable inputs.
So I'm in contact with a seller (probate lead) who is motivated to sell his deceased relative's property. The property has fire damage so the kitchen and a bedroom need extensive repair and update. He owes bank for $180k so he wants to be paid at least for what he owes on it. The pre-fire appraisal came out around $230K. Depending on how the update gets done, the ARV may come out higher. Currently, zillow shows its property value around $260K. Double tax lot.
Do you see a potential for this property? Is it possible to flip? I'm hoping to wholesale to a fix/flip investor, but how would you structure a deal? And what would you suggest me to be cautious here, especially in relation to the fire damage.
Thanks for your inputs!
