Hi Matt,


Would definitely be interested in checking out the property! I’m on the hunt for my next primary and would like it to be a project. Which part of town is it in? Happy to help with listing if that’s the way you decide to go too!


 Hello Jayme! It is in the Sedgefield area!

Quote from @Abbas Jamal Eddine:

Hi Mathew,

We live in Greensboro, which area of Greensboro is the house located in? Also, I am guessing that due to the state of the house, it would not qualify for a conventional loan?


 Hello! I doubt it would qualify for a conventional loan with the repairs that need to be completed. It is in the Sedgefield area!

Long Backstory, but my Dad owns a house in Greensboro, NC but has not lived in it consistently in 4-5 years. He currently travels often for work and resides in TN. It is slowly rotting and needs significant repairs to get it prepared to sell to a typical home buyer for a primary residence. It was bought in 2004 and due to financial issues, I believe ~$197k is still owed on the mortgage. Market Range for neighborhood is $330-415k. Based on rough assessment, the following is needed just to get it listed:

Needs Low Mid High
Roof $7,747.00 $12,580.00 $26,037.00
Siding $20,000.00 $25,000.00 $30,000.00
Windows $9,000.00 $12,000.00 $18,000.00
New Deck $8,000.00 $10,000.00 $12,000.00
Roof Leak Repair $2,000.00 $3,500.00 $5,000.00
Mold Mitigation $1,000.00 $2,500.00 $3,500.00
AC Units $13,000.00 $15,000.00 $18,000.00
Carpet Replacement $2,500.00 $3,500.00 $5,000.00
Kitchen Remodel $5,000.00 $10,000.00 $20,000.00

Total $68,247.00 $94,080.00 $137,537.00

Due to lack of capital to fund these repairs, I believe the best option is to find an investor looking to flip. 

Sell it for $220-240k range

Investor puts in $60-90k, 

Flips for $350-400k realizing a profit of $50-100k. 

Any thoughts or investor leads are greatly appreciated!

@Mike McCarthy yea, it being an investment property really narrows your options. Thanks for the input!

I currently own a SFH home in TN that has been rented for the last 4 years, and the current tenant signed a 5 year lease at $1,500/mo. I am in a 30yr fixed at 5.375% and owe roughly $174k. The current market value ranges anywhere from $215-250k. I am looking to do a straight up refinance to increase the cash flow, or a HELOC to use towards the purchase of additional investment properties. With this being an investment property, I know my conventional bank options are limited. Any tips or recommendations from the community regarding private/creative options are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Beau, I live in Buford and work in Cumming. I currently have 1 rental in NE TN and am looking to get into the market and start collecting rentals in the Atlanta area. Do you know of any groups that meet up our direction?
