Are you sure about that $175k? So it doesn’t sell at $179k, but you think it’s going to sell at $175k? What make you think so?

What’s your exit strategy?

Have any of you had success making multiple offers on a single property?

For example, we are looking at a 2/1 listed at 150,000.

This house was previously listed at 179k, but needs $3,000 of work to shine, and most buyers are turned off by the flaking paint and outdated look inside.

Anyways, I have 3 ideas for offers, each with it’s own benefits.

  1. Hard money loan 109,000 closing asap
  2. Conventional financing 125,000 closing 30-60 days, 10% down
  3. 139,000. 100,000 New first mortgage, 39,000 second mortgage to seller- no payments no interest- due in 3 years.

By the way, the house is owned free and clear, and the seller lives out of state.

I would love to get in with option 1 or 3, but am not sure how this would be received by the seller.

Does anyone see anything that I have done wrong? I am in a very competitive market, and this is the best deal I have found in months, even at the listing price.

Any opinions on how any of you would structure this deal would be appreciated. Are there any specific benefits of option 3 that I could point out? Thanks, please let me know your opinions.

Natalie asks you some very important questions. Namely - what is the ARV?

Can’t really help you until you answer those two questions.
