Agree with Dave, not sure of that term. But if you are looking for an active foreclosure list. A title rep might be your best to source that list.

What's up Ernesto, I'm a local mortgage lender and real estate investor who has been in the market for the last few years. Feel free to reach out with any questions. 

Hey Daniel, 

I'm a local mortgage lender in El Paso. Cash out refi's naturally have much higher interest rates and you can run into a issue with trying to do a cash out for that small of a loan amount. We offer NON-QM mortgages, which are no doc loans that don't require tax return, employment verifications or the use of debt to income for qualifying. Your credit does in need to be above 660 in order to qualify. Other option would be to try a local credit union like First Light or maybe even Raiz FCU that might be able to portfolio the property as collateral into a personal loan for you. You would need to check with them on their LTV and credit score requirements. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions and best of luck!

Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Sebring.

Purchase price: $68,000
Cash invested: $35,000
Sale price: $140,000

A quick 2-1 flip that I partnered in with a realtor. This deal was his first and although we over spent on the remodel. We still returned good numbers for this first one. In the process of completing this one, we found a second deal that we are currently working on.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

This deal was brought to me by my realtor who had been wanting to do a flip for some time now.

How did you finance this deal?

Private money loan was used to acquire the property. Then we used cash and two credit cards to fund the rehab. Once the deal funded, we paid all cards first. Resulting in more cash flow for the current project and higher credit limits for future deals.

What was the outcome?

Property was flipped and sold within 90 days.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Get detailed quotes from contractors of the work they will be doing. We also found a better contractor for our current project that provided us better pricing. Stay tuned for the end results of that one.

Between sales prices, interest rates being high and property taxes in El Paso being higher than average. It does make it super difficult to find a cash flowing property on Zillow or any other sites. Best bet would be to find an off market deal that you can pick up much less than market price. That will need minimum rehab to allow some CoC. You can also find a real estate agent who has knowledge in off market deals to help speed up the process.
