Purchase price: $395,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Sale price: $570,000 Such a fun project!

And that’s if you can’t find something to buy for under $100k or time multiple sales at once. 

We are not currently under any sort of contract and we just found this thread through a google search on Lendbase.We are currently working on a construction loan to develop some residential lots, assumed the Mortgage Broker would be on the up and up... had some sales-ey call with a guy out of Utah. 

Purchase price: $185,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $671,000This was our 3rd home.

A good local agent should be able to help with some of those updates needed for the exit sale. 

What I usually see is that they start with the average $/sq.ft of the sales price in the area.

Your new ARV(after repair value) should be supported by an adequate amount of comparable sales in the area(duplex's).

What about having to break even, or even feed the property every month $200 for those same 36 months, but at sale, could net a $75K-$100K profit?

I’m going to disagree with @Chris Seveney and say whether an assignee could force a sale directly would be a state law issue and heavily dependent upon the contract terms. 

Really diving into the features they have like Orphan Days, Price Adjustment Aggressiveness, etc. makes them even more powerful.
