BRRRR - First Timer, Advice Needed

Kyle M.

I'm going to be as detailed as possible as it is my first time using this strategy.  The example below is of an actual deal that I'm looking at.  I want to ensure that I have my ducks in a row before I proceed.  Also, I'm not expecting to get all my money back after the refinance but I would like to get some of my initial down payment back.

Deal:

List Price: $115,000

Area: B+ area, nice big schools and high quality tenants

Type: 3br/1.5 ba / Twin Home

ARV: $140,000 (sold comps from realtor)

Estimated Rehab: $20,000 - It's a guess, but I plan to get accurate when walking job with contractor

Rent: $1400

Taxes: 2500 / ($210/month)

Buy:

80% of ARV - Rehab Costs = Max Price Paid
$112,000 - $20,000 = $92,000
Conventional Loan = $18,400 down-payment,@ 5% interest
Closing Costs = $3,000

Rehab: $20,000

Rent: $1,400

Cash Flow = Rent - Mortgage - Insurance - Taxes - Vacancy(10%) - Maintenance(10%)

Cash Flow = 1,400 - 495 - 50 - 210 - 140 - 140 = +365

Cash on Cash: 365x12 = $4,380/$41,400(18,400+20,000+3,000)

Cash on Cash = 10.5% (initial)

Refinance:

ARV = $140,000 and refinance into conventional loan
Receive 28K back, meaning I'm in for $13,400(41,400 - 28,000)

New Cash on Cash Return = $4380/13,400 =32.7%

Thoughts on this is that this return is really nice and offers me a lot more profit then typical buy and hold of A+ condition properties.

Threats:

1. Don't get the value boost I'm hoping for when re-appraised.

2. Rehab costs running over budget.

3. Unable to refinance after 6 months (I have to make sure my lender will do this).

4. A lot of upfront money (I have private money to fall back on if needed).

5. Unable to negotiate a good price.  What would be your cut-off price of purchase using this example.

Questions:

How would you guys evaluate this deal?  

What are you thoughts are buying at a even higher price such as $105,000?

Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated, I tried to be as detailed as possible so I make sure not to overlook anything.
