Go back and re-read your first sentence carefully. It sounds like the family is fixing up old Gramps to sell him!

(Not to be the grammar police…just got a laugh out of it.)

Anyway…

If you have $9200 for a down payment and the family is really willing to let it go for $92000 to you, you may be onto something. One thing you forgot is that you will have operating expenses during the year you are leasing the property out, before it is sold, and those need to be subtracted. You also will have to pay closing costs when you buy the house and again when you sell it. Make sure those are factored into your equation.

My Grandfather recently passed away, and my relatives plus parents are doing some minor repair work and are getting ready to sell it, They have had people already interested in buying it, just through word of mouth, no ads nothing. They’re asking $100,000. The house dates back to 1840 but has had some restorations and additions done to it since then. New roof and siding, looks in excellent shape, has a 2 car garage and sits on about 3/4 of an acre. Its a two unit house my grandfather rented the upstairs for $450/mo but has no tenants since he passed away. The area is booming, the house sits next to a bike trail that appeals to many people in the area. I am thinking of buying it and putting a one year lease/purchase option on it. My plan is to lease/purchase the ground floor unit for $4000 down, $600/mo rent with $100/mo rent credit @ a price of $112,000. I also plan to rent the upstairs apartment for $500/mo on a lease that comes due at the same time the lease/purchase option comes due. Since I am a relative I can purchase the house at about a a 8% discount on the $100K asking price, so $92,000 is what I would pay. I need a mortage on it for 90% of the sale price. Here are the figures:

Purchase Price of $92,000
$4000 back at closing for Repairs

One year Lease Purchase Option for $112,000
$4000 down with $600/mo.
with $100/mo Rent Credit

Rent the upstairs on a one year lease at $500/mo

Get loan in the amount of $82,800 @ 6.5% = $523.30/mo
Insurance = $125/mo
Tax = $125/mo
Points 2 = $1656
Total = $523.30+$125+$125 = $773.30/mo

Initial and one yr expense and debits
Down Payment $9,200
Mortgage $773.30/mo x 12= $9279.60
Rent Credit $100/mo x 12 = $1200
Repairs $2000
Points 2.00 = $1656
Total Expenses = $23335.60

Initial and one yr income
Cash Back for Repairs $2000
down payment $4000
Rent $1100/mo x 12 = $13,200
Difference $112000 - $82800 = $29200.00
Total Income =$48400.00

Money Made $48400.00 - $23335.60 = $25064.4
Equity Made ???

So after one year is up I pocket $25064.40 assuming all goes as planned. Is this a viable deal anyone have an opinion am I missing anything, this is the first deal I would have ever done?
Thanks
