Opinion on house for possible BRRRR

[Michael Via]

Hi, and thanks for reading! I'm new to REI and have been looking through lots of listings to get a feel for what's out there, etc. I saw this house in my local area and I'm curious on what others think about it's potential based on what you see in the Zillow listing.

Thanks! :)

@Michael Via probelm with Zillow is that a lot of the for sale data is not current, from a couple days to a couple months. Find a local agent (on BP, preferably one who has done BRRR's personally) and get set up with MLS.

At quick glace I suspect that your ratio of Rehab Budget to ARV will not work. In my experience a ratio of 4 is needed, or in other words your rehab should not exceed 25% of the ARV. In my market this house would take about $40k-50k to rehab.
