The upstairs also needs the floors refinished, painting, cleaning.The decks were okayed by an inspector according to the current owner but they look like they don't have many years left.The yard is like a jungle so it needs to be cut/trimmedSome of the siding shingles needs to be repaired or replacedThey ran new electrical wiring upstairs but it needs to be connected to the box in the basement.The owner has agreed to remove the dumpster currently in the front yard and clear out all the "trash" there before it sells.ARV: $98-102,000Repair costs: $20k on the mid/high sideUsing 70% of ARV and an assignment fee of $5k it looks like my MAO would be about $43k.
