Counted this as a 45k asset but in truth it could be slightly higher or lower, there is a lack of inventory in this market so I am hopeful it will go for more but I am budgeting 45k.Deal 4 Bought an REO for 12k, rehabbed and all in for 20k, property value is 60k, posable more if we sell as a turnkey to a CA investor.Deal 5 Condo in Chicago, bought NP note (owner died in 2007 and nobody has paid since) paid 22k for the note, property rents in that neighborhood are @ 1,100 a month and the property is worth 60-70k based on estimates from a BP realtor in this market.Deal 6 bought a vacant REO for 5k, paid 7k in back taxes and put 18k into rehab, rented for $875 staring June 1st and worth 60k based on neighborhood comps and feedback from our PM/Realtor.Deal 7 Bought a SFR in souther IL for 12.5k, needs 30k in rehab and BPO's came in at 65k and 70k, I counted this as a 20k value since we will need to put more into it.

I would also increase your underwriting rehab estimate number by 15-20% since most renovations go over budget.

Knocking off $4k for that additional bathroom let's say it's $170k ARV, looking at this for a flip and using the 75% formula and a $120k buy price that only leaves $7500 for a reno budget - I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure it'll take more than that!
