So would I use the 50% rule off of the $2,700 or after I do subtract the P&I, so cut $1,400 in half?

The property is a 3 unit. each unit is rented for $900 a month which = ~$2700 of rent money, with tenants paying the utilities(Heat/AC etc.) The property is listed for $180,000.

Down payment: 10% (18,000)
P&I: $880
Insurance/Tax:$400
So that's around ~ -$1,300 now if i subtract $1,300 from $2,700 thats $1,400 in positive income. Now that %50 i dont really use that much because I will do the maintenance work myself and landscaping too

Tell me if the numbers are way off or close and sound like a deal?

Thanks a million!

It's all about the value Mike.

Given your example you said, "you think you could sell it for $120K"

However, is it worth $120K or is it worth more.

It really depends on the value of the property.

Some investors may want to buy low and sell low for a quick flip.

While other investors will want to buy low and sell high for maximum profit.

ARV stands for After Repair Value

The seller's asking price doesn't come into play until negotiation. Focus on value.

Hope that helps.


thanks

Ok lets say the asking price was $100,000, and the house needed some paint and thats it, and you think you could sell it for $120,000. 70% of ARV is off the 120k price or 100k?

Thanks, Mike

Ok so when you said "Here's an example: Let's say a property is worth $100,000 and needs $0.00 in Repairs. The investor tells you that they purchase at 70% ARV - rehab costs.

How much should the seller's asking price be? Your answer $70,000 "

You knocked 30% off the asking price? That seems high at all? Someone told me you take ~10% off, but i could be completely wrong
