…It is a 3 br 2 ba house on the market for 173,000 for 1 day.With a little paint and a cleaning it would sell for 195,000 conservatively but investing another 10,000 would put this house in the 220 to 230 range…

Is there any objective basis on which you base these upgraded values. Do you have appraisals ? DO you have comparative sales records. Why do you think this property will go up $20,000 “with a little painting and cleaning”, and go up another $25,000 with additional $10,000 of work.

These positive, best case scenario numbers must not be based on assumption, or expectation. There has to be hard, cold historical facts and figures (appraisal/ comps) to back up these numbers, or your calculations can eventually come out skewed. Garbage in, garbage out.

How do I get fast financing? - Posted by Chad

Posted by Chad on September 30, 2003 at 14:23:03:

I am new to the investment game and have a quick question about fast financing. Here’s the short scoop.

My brother-inlaw and I have extensive construction experience and have decided to use that knowledge to “flip” houses on the side. I have found our first property. It is a 3 br 2 ba house on the market for 173,000 for 1 day. With a little paint and a cleaning it would sell for 195,000 conservatively but investing another 10,000 would put this house in the 220 to 230 range. My problem? How do I close on this fast with using little or none of my own money. Houses I know, remodeling I know, financing is another story. Any ideas would help.

Thank you

Chad
