Found a off market home.

Matthew Johns

My wife and I found a home for 240k off market in a neighborhood(like b- c+ neighborhood) where homes are being listed at 250k-275k in MN (Don’t forget people are over bidding homes 15-30k on homes right now. Maybe more with certain homes) House needs work but nothing to huge. I am a plumber and can handle most projects myself. Also I am connected to many men in the trades which could lower my cost and help me or give me knowledge. sewer line to street may have roots in it and potentialy may need to be replaced or snaked. Which I can actually do myself. I can use a mini and fix it too and dig it up. (Have experience in locating and digging up locates) roof has a potential small sag but my friend works in roofing company and can help me fix it. I can remodel the bathrooms(they need to be fixed and remodeled but I can do all of it) the house wreaks of pee and it needs to be cleaned of the piss smell. Also everything’s need to be repainted and trim needs to be replaced. Was just wondering if an experienced investor could help give me with advice on if this is worth my time. We want to fix this home up to force equity on it and potentially sell it for more or rent it and hold it for a few years then sell and trade up to more rental property’s. Thanks any advice would be helpful
