Must Sell - $120K Below Original Asking Price, Duplex
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008I found an e-mail from a few days ago in an e-mail account I don’t use from a realtor in Eugene, Oregon with a very interesting deal.
This duplex is located near the University of Oregon in Eugene.
One unit is a 3 bedroom, 1 bath and the other is a 2/1 bath and each has its own meter. Rent it out residential or it has some interesting potential with its current zoning… talk to the real estate professional for more detailed information about how this could be a profitable twist to this property.
Combined rents for both sides appear to be about $1,560.
Offering it as a rent-to-own, you could take advantage of the huge equity discount from the original asking price of $379K and the current asking price of $259,000.
For example, if you purchased it for $259,000 at financed all of the purchase at 7%, your payments (not including taxes and insurance) would be approximately $1,730 per month.
If you sold it, on a rent-to-own for $324,900 and offered the tenant buyers payments for one or two years at 7.99% (until they went out and got their own loan), you would be collecting approximately $2,213 per month (and they would be paying taxes and insurance). That’s a positive difference of about $483 per month between your payment and what they would be paying you.
By offering some flexible owning financing while someone is getting a new loan, you can possible collect an upfront down payment toward the purchase (which is usually better than a security deposit) and see significant positive cash flow.
For more information about this particular property, deal #17 or other Eugene investor properties contact me and I will put you in contact with a local real estate professional that can assist you with your purchase.
Until my next post,
