BRRRR Tax Lien Deal Analysis Feedback Wanted
Hi Everyone!
My wife and I are closing in on a year of our house hack in Albany, and are looking to expand across the river with a BRRRR tax lien deal in Troy. I've been running some numbers and lining up financing through personal lines of credit and 0% credit cards, but would love to get some feedback on potential rehab costs as this is not my area of expertise.
The property is a 3 unit which I am bidding on through the city of Troy's tax lien foreclosure program. The scariest part and biggest unknown is that I cannot see the property beforehand and because of this, I am factoring in all possible costs for the rehab. The numbers include hiring out any plumbing, electrical, roofing, or window repairs and doing the remainder of work myself.
The quick and dirty stats are as follows:
Overall Numbers
Bid Price - $25,000
Estimated ARV - $160,000
70% of ARV - $112,000
Rehab Costs - $99,900
Total Investment - $124,900
Obviously, the numbers indicate I would be leaving some of my money in the deal, but this is worst case scenario.
Rehab Costs
My biggest concern is being way off on the estimates. I know the odds of getting an estimate right on are slim (especially for someone like me with limited rehab experience) but I would appreciate anyone who could give an opinion on the below estimates and see if they are in the ballpark.
For context, the building is a 3 story 3 unit built in 1894 and approximately 4300 SQFT.

Overall | 0 | |||
Heating | $6,000 | Per System | 3 | $18,000 |
Plumbing | $10,000 | 1 | $10,000 | |
Electrical | $10,000 | 1 | $10,000 | |
Drywall | $1.00 | Wall SQFT | 4000 | $4,000.00 |
Demo | $1 | SQFT | 4000 | $4,000 |

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I would much rather have my plan ripped to shreds now that 5 months from now while I am in the middle of a rehab.
