@Tony Robinson Thanks for sharing your experience. Looks like a great deal that will give you great momentum into the next deal. The rehab looks great as well! I have a few questions for you:
Did you get your GC(s) to give an estimate of the project before you make an offer or was this estimate done by you and
your agent?
Did you get the bank to give you their ARV on the house before you made the offer as well?
What extra checks did the bank make you go through in order to fund 100% of purchase and rehab? That seems very rare in my limited experience. But also very exciting that you were able to utilize this funding.
Thanks again for sharing!
Hey!
(1) Yes, I had the GC provide an estimate prior to submitting my offer.
(2) Yes! The GC submitted their bid to the bank, and the bank underwrote the property and made their assumption on the ARV prior to funding the loan.
(3) The only thing I had to do was a find a deal that was good enough. The purchase price + rehab had to be less than ~72% of ARV.
