Divorced foreclosure but owner's name is not on the note
I've never done a wholesale deal so looking for some insight.
I would buy/flip but there's not enough equity for me since I'd have to do hard money. What are my other options? Try and contract it then find someone who can make the numbers work?
Divorced mom of 4 is about to be foreclosed on 8/24. She got the house but his name (not hers) is on the mortgage and is 8months behind in payments. Her motivation is not to save her credit (since it wont be affected, according to her) but to have enough $$$ to keep her on her feet for the move.
Year built: 1997
Everything in the home is original
Loan payoff $129k (including areers), current monthly payments $900, $8k in areers
ARV (conservative): $190k
Forecloses 8/23
-best/closest comps I could find: https://www.realtracs.net/listings/views/filmstrip?listingIds=2105851,2080337,2075036,2089370,2049903&fieldset=agent-full&format=report&expires=1504320495&signature=hJ3..GsrjO9FaTGB5yBH2gMcW$QRiKxTb~qfU*YrVtHX
- average days on market - 9
- median sales price $197k
Which, would make a conservative sales price of $190k. Though may be able to get $200k
Work NEEDED ($30k?):
- New roof (no issues, just an original roof)
- Paint (2 bedrooms, odds and ends.. maybe $2k of painting. $5k to do the whole thing)
- water damaged/stained ceiling in kitchen from broken bathtub drain upstairs
- HVAC drain pipe broken in exterior wall of garage. Would need to gut wall and maybe do mold remediation. Affected area looks to be ~5’x10’
- front porch railing and support columns are rotted.. all need to be replaced and painted
- 1 window in bedroom needs replaced
- my partner felt like the house was settling in the middle a bit but I didn’t see any visual signs of cracking around door frames or window frames??
