Nick S. calculating a property to buy, hold (1 yr), flip or rent
4 July 2018 | 4 replies
having a difficult time using both the brrrr and fix and flip calculator because i intend to live in the property for 1 year so not a rehab. these calculators seem to assume i won't live in the property. based on the factors below, i'm hoping someone can poke holes.arv=270krepair=my father who is a general contractor is overestimating at 35k (it's definitely livable, but there's opportunity to upgrade/update such as the roof, floors, cabinets). i'd live there for a year and plan to either flip or rent after the year.annual expected property tax=$7.5klisted price is around $235k ($/sq ft is below comp average)comps within the past year for similar properties around $260-$280kpreferred profit (not too sure about this) but $20k is a target...i guess.estimated rental based on recent is $1.8-1.85k/monthi was thinking about offering $210k max, but the calculators recommended an estimated purchase offer between $160-$175k, which seems extremely low given the livable condition.what am i calculating wrong here?

I could consider a personal loan for that money as well, which would let me rent out the unit faster but would require larger monthly payments.During the second year of interest only, the unit would be rented (accounting for up to 1 month of vacancy), and I would make $496 that year.At the end of the second year, I would refinance, and if the value of the house appreciated at ~2%, I would owe the seller around $10,000 after the refinance.
