Should I take the private money lending for this deal?
Hello,
I am fairly new to real estate investing and this would be my first deal using private money lending. Here are the details of the deal:
Purchase price: 262,000
rehab: 7500
ARV: 340,000
I have a private lender willing to put up 300,000 for 1 year at 6%, which is an awesome deal from all i have researched and found. The $300,000 number was calculated from closing costs, rehab, and 6 months holding to be safe. With that said after I calculate the profit from the sale of the home after commissions and closing costs, it just does not add up. I feel I must be doing something wrong as there is a fairly decent spread.
My biggest question here is... Should I not overestimate so much when calculating the amount of the loan? Should I be more accurate when working with private money? I've run the numbers so many times I feel that I am overthinking something and not realizing the obvious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
