House hacking - home needing repairs, seller not willing to do all of them

Jesus Bravo
Posted

Hey all,

Im new to the forum but exited to join and gain/share value from experiences. 

Im currently under contract for my 2nd house hacking property. The inspections were completed and turns out that a good amount of the work done in the house by the seller to flip the property was done poorly. If the major defects (bad window installment, clogged piping, pool transformer) are fixed, I could deal with the rest of defects and fix them myslef (bad valves in bathroom, placement of air handler, undersized water heater). Point being, to me it still seems like a good deal to close on this property as I could cashflow about 800-1000 bucks per months so if I was left to repair those things (assuming 12-15k in rework) ROI would be about a year or so. What are people's thoughts?

@Jesus Bravo If the seller is the one who "flipped" the house and it was bad work would first bring it up and see if they know it's bad work, and they can get their contractor back out. However if they actually did the work I wouldn't want them working on it more thus would just go for a credit or price reduction. See if you can come to terms and if not move on. 

Best of luck!
