SFH / possible duplex?
I am a new-ish investor in my area (Tuscaloosa, AL - near Birmingham), with a couple of properties. Looking at a SFH for long term rental or flip. Is this a deal? Or too much work for a new investor?
It has been on market for > 500 days. Formerly a rental home in a desirable location, it has two "units": one up 3/1 and one down 1/1. Possible electrical issues - had 2 meters but one has been removed - and possible that city could require permits - something I have never dealt with.
ARV ~ $110K.
Repairs ~27K (7K up unit / 20K down unit). May need new roof in a few years.
Poss. Rents $800 up / $450 down
Offered 60K, seller countered at 74K.
Should I counter at 64K or move on?
