BRRRR!!!
Bought this house with cash for 42.5k put in 34k worth of rehab, I bought it 4 weeks before COVID, Jan. 2020, finally finished it in June 2020.
Refinanced on month 7. It Appraised for 82k (Lower than projected) took out 75% / 61,500
Overall pretty happy with the investment, the rehab cost more than expected and the appraisal came back low so I left more in the deal than I wanted but at the end of the day I'm seeing a 12.8% COC return.
Biggest Lessons.
1. Budget for rental license ($650 In Lansing)
2. Double check estimated taxes
3. Lock in a Property Management company before purchasing
4. Don't buy four weeks before Global Pandemic
