Post: Would you go through a flip for 30K or less before taxes?

Hi Everyone, 

I am new in real estate, purchasing my very first investment property. My partner and I are under contract to buy a SFH in Fishtown, Pennsylvania. The house is build in 1875. The inspection showed more issues than what we anticipated. I am guessing this is common for the age of the house.

We are negotiating to get it under 200K, and invest 65-70K. Based on our calculations for repair, carrying cost, closing cost, the all in cost will be 283K. Once we sale, based on other comp in the area, our net profit will be around 30K. My question to you guys is...would you go through a flip for 30K or less before taxes. 

Thank You for suggestions!!

Quote from @Shawn Parsh:

Uendy,

Congratulations on your decision. I would encourage you to learn as much as you can about real estate investing. The more ways you know how to solve other peoples problems the more money you will likely make. I specialize in buying distressed properties, rehabbing them, and then selling or renting them for positive cash flow. However, I also look at each potential deal to determine the best investment option for me and the greatest outcome for the seller. 

If you do not already, I would find and get active in a local real estate investing club. Learn what you can from others in the business in your market. Keep an eye on properties for sale in your market, what they are selling for, and what features buyers are looking for. Also track rental demand, vacancy rates, and prices. The more you learn the more effective you will be. Ultimately, the best way to learn is by doing so do your homework and get started. 


Thank you Shawn for your advices. I took the first step on my real estate journey, which was to join the BiggerPockets. I also joined meetup groups in my area, and will complete a boothcamp on small multifamily investment. I have realized that knowledge in this field is key. Once again, thank you for taking the time to reply

Uendy

Welcome! I have a similar story - health care for 30 years, looking to scale via BRRRR. We have done several flips and are working on one now

Where are you looking to invest?

Hi All!, I am a new real estate investor interested in the BRRRR strategy. I have been in the healthcare industry for more than 20 years, now looking for the opportunities that real estate offer.
