I have this property under contract for $20,000 and I was thinking about keeping it. I could finance with a back for 25% I think. Or the seller is willing to take $10,000 now and $10,000 in 7 months. This gives me time to refinance it and maybe take all the money out and not be in the deal for anything. Lets pretend it does not need more then $5000 to fix it up. It is in a C to D area.
What do you think? What would you do ?
Brick Duplex 1,428 sq. ft. Year Built: 1960
(Unit 1)2 Bed/ 1 Bath Rent: $300 pro forma rent $375 renter has lived there 15 years
(Unit 2) 2 Bed/ 1 Bath Actual Rent: $300 pro forma rent $375 renter has lived there 2 years
thanks for the info

I have a property under contract to wholesale. A week later, the owner listed it with an agent. I still have it under contract for another 3 weeks, what should I do? I also have 3 people that want to take a look inside of it.
Post: Property for $20,000 that rents for $600 in a c to d area

I have a property under contract in Phoenix City, Alabama. Its a brick, 2/1, 1400 sq. foot duplex, both sides are rented for $300 = $600 total. There are wall units for AC and has gas heating. I will have a property inspector give me a report later this week. The agreement I have is $10,000 at closing and anther $10,000 in 7 months. If you had this what would you do? Wholesale it? Have a realtor list it? Keep if for a rental and refinance to take all the equity out of it? Or not even buy it at all?
Pros =
1) Rented on one side for 15 years, the other for 2 years 2) Zillow is telling me that its worth $52,0003) There is nothing rented for under $400 on Craigslist in that area.
4) I have it under contract for $20,000
5) I have had an agent/property manager tell me it is worth 65K not to buy if for more then 50K he also has properties in that area. he thinks it should rent for $350 to $375.
7) A property manager went there and told me its not in a war zone,but its a 6 with 10 being the worst.
8) A second agent gave me an income approach and told me if I wanted to sell it I could get about $40,000
Cons=
1) 3rd agent went there and he told me that the area is too rough for him and wont touch it, but has friends that will go in that area.
2) I am unable to pull comps- I have used things like myfirstamerican, Eppraisal, Chase estimator, and not getting
anything, this is also why I have contacted a lot of agents to give me some feed back.
3) I live in California and will have to find a support team there. (But I have other out of state properties and dont mind it)

I wanted to see every ones opinion on this? Who would do this and who would not? This is what the numbers look like for this C class neighborhood in CA. The reason I like it is because it would be paid off after 13 years. The reason I don't like it is that it is negative $32 a month if I don't property manage it.
This is for 13 years
$80,000 purchase price
$10,000 down = $70,000
Rent $800
Payment $572 %4
Insurance $ 40
Water bill $ 40
Vacancy $ 40 or %5 of the rent
Repairs $80 or %10 of the rent
Property Management $60
= -$32
Ok thanks lets do it.
Yes its in Bakersfield.
I put the property taxes in the payment of $572.
It is a 2bed 1 bath.
The condition of this piece of paradise? it is rent ready or so I am told
I don't understand the loan. $70K at 4% for 13 years is $578, not including taxes. Where are you accounting for taxes?
I did it at www.mortgagecalculator.org with 1.179 property tax

$800 would be top of market for those types of neighborhoods for a 2 bed (assuming it's a 2 bed house), so your vacancy and bad debt expenses are going to be even higher. Unless it's a 3 bed house, then you're probably OK.
If you're going to buy in those neighborhoods, try to get around $25 to $50 cheaper in rent and make up for it with a long term good tenant.
If I were you, I'd knock him or her down on price. 1% rule of thumb won't work in C or D neighborhoods.
