Hi Folks,We're purchasing a twin in Bethlehem and looking for team members to provide costs estimates for some inspection items.

@Andrew Bang thank you for that advice but I am wondering like if I see a house while driving for dollars do I ask the seller for all the info on the house or just try give a ball park estimate of the purchase price?

While Freddie Mac estimates that homeowners who refinanced last year will save an average of $2,800 on mortgage payments each year of their loan.

Make your offer contingent upon inspection so no major hidden items pop up that throw your rehab estimate off.

We have budgeted $60,000 and 6 months for the project.All-in cost $145,000ARV estimate $225,000Rents $2200After reno is complete and we have the property fully rented we plan on doing a cash-out refinance and go find another deal.

All-in cost $145,000ARV estimate $225,000Rents $2200 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Purchase price was $270,000 with estimated repairs (which are almost done right now) of $45,000 (and another $10,000 in TLC for the residential units when they turnover).There aren't many good comps for a property such as this, but most small offices are selling for more like $60-85/sq. ft. and we'll be all in for less than $50.

@Skyy Dugger - Maybe get a tree removal company to give you a worst case estimate to remove the tree with the potential issues you're worried about so you can quantify the risk better to help you make your decision. 

According to zillow rent estimate they should rent out at 1-1.3k.Some of them are already rented out.

I want to do an installment sale contract because they all need septics, which have to be done within 6 months of the sale, estimated at $150,000 including surveying, engineering and permits.
