45 Day Flip at $5K Over Asking!

[Vince Russell]

Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Purchase price: $92,200

Cash invested: $13,500

Sale price: $140,000

So on this deal, we were purchasing the house for $92,200 with an estimated repair budget of $8,870 for a total cost of $101,070 meaning the bank would lend $90,963.

We borrowed $17,500 from our private investor to cover the 10% required from the bank, closing costs, and money left over to start the rehab until the bank gives that money back through draws.

We ended up spending a little over $10,000 on this house, which was fine because there was room.

We listed it for $134,900 and got an offer on day 1 for $140,000. Subtract commissions, closing costs, concessions, requested repairs, and my private lender’s profit and we’ll walk away smiling and thanking Jesus for the opportunity he’s given us to make this money but also smiling that a new family will get to enjoy this home.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Going all out on flips isn't alway necessary. See what appraisers give value to, do that, and whatever else you feel a buyer may want that's within reason to still make a nice profit.
