Heart of St Pete Flip

This 3 bedroom 1 bath starter home in the heart of St Pete offers an unparalleled opportunity for an investor to come in with minimum down and get a deal done. Read to the end to find out the best part about this project. . .

Background: The owner's inherited this property and put it on the market a few months ago. The home went into and fell out of contract. The property has a foundation issue and requires underpining on the rear wall.

The sellers have included a foundation quote from Ram Jack for $15,000 to underpin the foundation with helical piles. Even better news is that the foundation company is offering 12 month no interest and no payment financing. If approaching this project as a flip, you can essentially pay down the foundation repair at re-sale, interest free.

Beyond the foundation, the home needs a full cosmetic renovation. New floors, interior exterior doors, 8 replacement windows (some have already been finished) interior and exterior paint, new A/C and new Hot Water Heater. Roof was replaced in 2021 so no worries there.

Comps in the neighborhood are up to $415,000, but my conservative resale estimate is at $400,000.

Now get ready for the best part:

The sellers are open to offering

owner financing.

I've already engaged them in negotiations, and with 20 percent down they are willing to offer a 5 year balloon term note at between 6.5 and 8% (Interest rate to be decided at contract). Not only does this save on hard money rates, but avoids any origination fees on a loan. Doc stamps and intangible tax will still need to be paid at closing, but there are still significant saving s to the bottom line on this deal.
