are investors still buying in Jacksonville, FL? or anywhere?

[Jonathan Ortega]

i got a deal which i thought was a homerun. ARV 200k+, Repairs only 25k, and asking 121k. so far i have gotten crickets. Are people not buying because of COVID? should i pack up and hibernate my business until this is all over? anybody having a similar issue?

A very conservative estimate at this price point is if you can buy at 50% ARV, you are in a good place. This includes transaction costs and a tidy profit. This assumes updating all they systems, roof electric plumbing and A/C. If it is largely cosmetic, then it will probably be less, if it was a house fire or has foundation issues, it could go higher.

The transaction costs eat up a lot as well.  6% commissions plus the states piece of the pie 13-15k on 200k.
