Ashley Gamble HELP! Sellers didn't disclose major issues - unrentable and requires massive repairs
1 October 2024 | 5 replies
We did get negotiate money from them to help with roof repair, but now know they were not honest on their disclosure.Our inspector missed  code violations, HVAC issues, pipes that had been worked on and issues hidden that had occurred while sellers lived in the house, signs of drainage and water damage inside the house that had been painted over, completely blocked dryer vent...and we are finding more daily.We have had the house looked at by a structural engineer and HVAC techs  that has told us we need thousands (likely tens of thousands) of dollars worth of repairs to make this property able to rent and come up to code for rental.

Jack Mi What do you all think about this deal?
30 September 2024 | 5 replies
@Jack Mi: my first impression is anyone that is buying a deal at a 4.5% going-in cap rate with 7% interest rate is anything by conservative.Now, there are so many details missing that it is impossible to give any true thoughts.The things I like:No up front fees, so less motivation to simply transact10% Co-invest is pretty good80/20 (assuming there is no second hurdle) is fairly good.Things that give me pause, based on what is actually presented:Going-in cap rate is very slim.
