The bad news is I took a $52,000 loan out from a friend for the down and repairs that was on a 6 mo.

Here are the details:The Asking price is $229,900Taxes are $6595.00Apt 1 - Lr, Eik, 2 Br, Fbth (Average Rent - $1200 - $1400)Apt 2 - Lr, Eik, Br, Fbth (Average Rent - $700 - $900)Bank wants buyer to pay transfer tax.I have no estimate on repair costs since I haven't actually seen it or had an inspection.

You should be able to find a HML who will go 60% of ARV (after repaired value), maybe a little higher.

Hello all,I normally do single fam, so I wanted a quick hand with numbers on a deal I'm considering.Location and repairs aside, strictly by numbers, what do you guys make of this deal:Single house, 3 fam:- 2 bed/1 bath- 2 bed/1 bath- 2 bed/1 bath- 2 car garage- separate metersTotal rent is $2,500.Monthly taxes are $320What would be a good estimate for monthly expenses (50% rule??)

I would research what the other REO's are selling for compared to ARV (after repair value) and how long they were on the market.

In order to resell, I'd perform about $5K of foundation repairs and some minor cosmetic work.
