Welcome to the Bigger Pockets community! 

The deal seems to pencil, but the bigger picture stuff makes me nervous. 

It sounds like this may be a loss but I am sure you have learnt from it.

I’ve personally helped folks navigate 1031 exchanges in Phoenix, rolling their gains from one property into something bigger and more strategically placed.

Originally posted by :Deal 1  sold this week at auction for a loss, probably a $4,500 loss, this is in my profit calculation.Deal 2 Bought for 20k sold for 45 with 10k down and 35k financed for 8 years at 8%  I counted this as a 45k asset but probably should have only counted it as 35 since the 10k has been reinvested and is reflected in other assets.Deal 3, bought for 10k and foreclosed on a non performing borrower, we will be all in for under 20k, and should sell for @ 45k, maybe more if we do owner financing.  

I run sum numbers for you please see comments below before refinancing and post refinancing .If I were in your position, I would approach it as follows:Initial Investment Assumptions: Market Value: $360,000 Purchase Price: $360,000 Equity: $0,000Financial Breakdown: Hard Money Loan (LTV 100%): $360,000 Interest Rate: 10% (30-Year Amortization) Monthly Payment: $1,995Upfront Costs: Origination fee (1%): $3,600 Closing Costs (3%): $10,800 Renovation Costs: $10,000 2 Month of Carrying Costs During Renovation: $5,390Total Upfront Required: $29,790Total Capital InvestmentPurchased price $360,000 Upfront Costs $29,790Total: $389,790To make this investment work, you need to rent the whole property for at least $3,165/month, refinance it let say after one year with 5% interest with a traditional mortgage.Year One Rent: Monthly Rent Income: $3,165 Monthly Rent Losses during renovations (2 Months): -$6,330 (-$527/month distributed over 12 months) Total Rent Income: $31,650 per year => $ 2,638 per monthMonthly Expenses: Hard Money Loan Payment (10% Interest): $1,995 / per month interest only Property Tax (Assuming $3,000/year): $250 per month Property Insurance (Assumption): $100 per month Utilities (Hydro, Gas, Water): $292 per month Assuming 0% Vacancy first year Assuming 0 % Repairs & Maintenance first year because unit has been recently renovated Total Monthly Expenses: $2,637Monthly Net Cash Flow: $1Post-Renovation Refinancing Strategy:So far, we’ve purchased the property, completed renovations, and rented it out.Next, you can approach the bank for a refinance to consolidate your initial investment of $29,790 plus your 360k debt into a mortgage.

Hopefully the security deposit is enough to minimize your loss.
