Post: 11th hour assignment contract challenges

Quick point of clarification... my MLS is showing ARV of $274K; however, DOM is a bit long at this price range, hence the lower ARV of $260K.

Looking for a little advice from fellow investors in the Grand Rapids, MI, Lansing, MI, and Kalamazoo, MI area. (recent moved back to MI, from Chicago, and frankly don't have a seasoned network here in GR area). 

I have a subject property under contract. The short version is we found out Friday night that the group we were assigning the contract to at closing wasn't as stable as we were lead to believe. (Shame on me for not getting earnest money). Basically, it's come to light that they don't have the funds to execute on the assignment contract.

Closing is set for this coming week Friday, and I'd like to do what i can to not leave the seller hanging. Most of the leg work has been done. (needed final appraisal and funding.

Quick version:
ARV: $260,000+
Lite Rehab: $5000.00 - $8,000.00 (Really just cosmetic - Paint, minor updates...)
$2000 / month holding cost
Conservative 120 day window for lite rehab and closing - Most likely much shorter
Net profit: $30,000 +  
Closing is this coming Friday (15th)- most title work has been completed.

Wholesale: $198,000 (Low risk / short term investment)

Here's the ask... I've contacted my hard money sources from Chicago, and one should be able to execute; however, I'd like to work with someone local. Any recommendations, or know anyone who would be interested in wholesale purchase? 



Thanks, and look forward to "paying it forward" by helping others in the area when I can. 

Cheers, 
Jacques

@Kase Knochenhauer thanks for the response. Agree on the need for a bit more due diligence regarding the assessments and potential "specials" coming down the pipe. Will have to through in a call to the local management at the Double JJ. Also agree about the management fee. Again, work in progress to get 'final' numbers lined up. 

Living in Grand Rapids, and not directly familiar with the resort, this one is a bit outside my comfort zone. Did connect with a few individuals who have worked with Double JJ, who indicated the resort is now in good hands.

Hey SW MI BP members (and any others that feel like chiming in...),

Have a nice log home (sleeps 10+) under contract north of Muskegon, MI 

Home is part of a local "Dude Ranch" theme resort area, which includes: Golf course, two water parks, etc..., and has recently had a large influx of cash by new owners (out of bankruptcy), and located within a nice Western MI coast region. (Association dues: $150 / month - includes cable, trash, snow removal, etc... Electric and Heat would be separate. 

General stats are as follows....
1.) ARV are around $134K (or perhaps a little higher)
2.) Acquisition: Upper $70's, and as for updates - "maybe" needs laminate floors in Kitchen, and perhaps some new cabinet (standard) doors to update. Target: $5-10K (on the high-end).
3.) Because of location, this could be 
4.) Nightly rents are $400 per night during session (though mgt fees are 50/50 split). 

Running the numbers, the thought process is as follows: 
1.) If the 'cost of money is roughly $600 per month, this equates to ~30 nights (through Management company), fewer nights if we were to engage AirBNB type service, and find local cleaning / turn-over service. 

Anyone familiar with Double JJ resort? Good / Bad / Ugly...

Also... since this is a bit out of the "norm" for me. Thoughts on the AirBNB or Property Management service approach? 

Constructive concerns?....
