I would try to find sellers who are open to owner financing or pre foreclosures with some equity where you could take over their payments subject to the existing mortgage.

Post: Divorced couple - husband still occupies home!

I have a pre foreclosure I am trying to take over payments on. The wife is the only one listed on the mortgage but in NC it takes both husband and wife to sell. The wife is living in Washington state and has been my main contact through the transaction. She has agreed to let me take over her payments BUT the husband is still occupying the home refusing to make the payments. I have his contact info but have not contacted him yet. How do I get this guy out of the home with as little cash out of my pocket as possible? Any help is appreciated!

@Tony S. 28025 has some good areas but overall 28027 is the more desirable market. PM me with that property address and I will send over some comps and would be glad to give my opinion on the area.

2 properties for $130,000 

1) Single family home

- 1,000 sq. ft.

- 2/1

- Unfinished basement

- Acre lot 

- Could use new roof & HVAC unit (duct work is good) 

- Two car detached garage with city water tap connected 

2) Vacant lot 

- Can be subdivided into 2 lots according to city planning and zoning

- One tap fee already there 

My plan was to separate the garage and the home, sell the home for $119,900 (I am an active agent in this market) tear down the garage and build a 1,400 sq. ft. home at roughly $80/sq. ft. and sell for $125/sq. ft. 

My plan for the vacant lot is to build two 1,400 sq. ft. homes and sell at $125/sq. ft.

My numbers are $130,000 (total package) -$110,000 (sale of home) = $20,000 for 3 lots 

2 lots already have taps in place which saves $9,000 total. 

My father would be the builder and with construction costs rising we are around $80/sq. ft. to build right now. Which would put a 1,400 sq. ft. home at $112,000. 

Lot cost per lot = $11,500 (added in cost for building tear dow, grading, one tap)

3 (homes) x $112,000 = $336,000 to build homes

Sale price $169,900 x 3 = $510,000

Commissions x 3 = $21,000 

Private money cost = ? 

Total profit (not including cost of private money) = $117,000 

I have done a few minor flips, wholesale deals and a new construction before using private money but nothing that seems as big as this. I do not have private money lined up at the moment but want to make sure I am not missing anything or looking at this property through rose colored glasses!
