Need advice on potential property - Posted by kk

Posted by kk on March 08, 2002 at 14:01:32:

I had someone approach me with a nice 3/2/2 in a good neighborhood that has been renting for $925/month. The owner needs to sell it so she doesn’t have to go back to work this year. She is asking $105K for it and her current balance on her 15 year mortgage is about $71K that was just refinanced within the last year or so at 6.75%. She is fixing it up now and putting about $7000 into it. She would sell as-is for $98K. Does anyone see any potential deal here and if so could you elaborate?

What’s the market value? One way it would probably work if you take it subject to, and give her a 2nd with no payments or interest (in other words, she wouldn’t get the money until you have gotten cashed out of the property.)

Market value is about what she’s asking for. What about this? I take the home subject to, and instead of a 2nd, what if I had her take out a home equity LOC so she could have her cash, which is what she is needing, then i make those payments as well?

That could work, just make sure your cash flow still works with the increase in monthly payments.
