NA N. How to compete with owner occupied REO buyers?
31 August 2012 | 12 replies
Well I haven't worked in residential for years and years (long time ago).When I did a newbie investor would be looking for a house with just cosmetic (carpet and paint) to flip.The newbie investor was scared of anything more substantial.Problem was all the regular home buyers would bid close to asking or over because they were fine with fixing up and having 5k to 15k equity afterwords.The investor could not buy at those margins unless they were holding to rent out and the rental numbers made sense for the price paid.So in my opinion finding a home near mint that needs little work at a low price is finding a needle in a haystack.More realistic for flipping is finding properties needing substantial work where the owner occupant is scared away.You the investor can get the problems fixed really cheap below regular labor and material rates.This helps you achieve more leverage to buy the property at a lower price and create more equity on the rehab as well.That is probably where the bigger returns are.
