Too risky for newbie or not?
Looking for neutral perspective on this possible deal. Property in A neighborhood in SW Florida with foreclosure judgement of $125k. Set to go to auction 7/18 but from what I understand it can be sold so,long as judgement satisfied by 7/18. Will need title search but preliminary does not show any other clouds on title.
ARV is between $265-279k based on recent comps right on same street completely rehab with same sq footage (1700). For calculating purposes we are using $255k. House needs work-kitchen/bath updates, paint in and out, flooring, possible new a/c compressor, possible new duct work, pool & screen redo, new garage door, duct worker (1974-smoker) plus misc rehab (lights switches, etc) . Using estimate $56.3 for rehab. Closing, selling and holding costs using approx. $26k. Rehab cal show max purchase $149 assuming desired profit of $20k
First, is this too much investment/risk for newer RE investor? Done two prior rehabs over past 10-15 yrs and made a profit on both.
Second, not 100% sure if I can buy direct from seller with the judgement? Is there something I'm missing?
Third, how numbers look right? Conservative enough?
