Details on my 2nd SFR Deal
House: 884 sq ft, 3 bed, 1 bath
Location: Birmingham, AL
Source: online auction site
Purchase price: $35,750
Rehab: $2,882
Property Mgmt: 10%
Rent: $850/month
This was my second rental property acquired in 2017. It was very well-maintained by the previous tenant, who died in the house. My only frustration was the length of time (roughly 2 months) it took for the PM to perform basic repairs on the place and get it rented. I eventually realized that they listed the property without pictures, which likely would have made a difference as this is one of the cleaner houses on the street. My failure to manage the manager. Overall, though, I'm quite pleased with this deal. Wish I could find several more like it!
