How do I figure my max auction bid?
I'm planning to go to an auction in 2 weeks. I hope to buy my first property. I'm trying to figure out what my max bid should be for the property. Any help or advice is much appreciated.
Projected sale price (ARV) $208,000
$208,000 x 70% = $145,600
Subtract the amounts below from $145,600
Real estate agent 6% of $208,000 = $12,480
Closing cost for buyer 3% of $208,000 = $6,240
Rehab cost $15,000
Hard money costs
Borrow $110,000 + 3 points = $113,300
12 % interest = $1,133 per month
Expected minimum holding time 3 months x $1,133 = $3,399
Water Authority Lien $247.52 (I was told that this probably would stick to the title after the auction)
Max bid at auction $108,233.48 ($110,000)
