Lehigh Valley CASH Investors, PreApproved Short Sale - Bethlehem North Twin - Written Plan for 21% Return within 2 yrs - OFFER DEADLINE 2-15-10

Lehigh Valley CASH Investors, PreApproved Short Sale - Bethlehem North Twin - Written Plan for 21% Return within 2 yrs - OFFER DEADLINE 2-15-10

This is FOR REAL - BUT LIMITED Time...there's a catch you must have your written offer in by 2-15-10 and go to settlement on or before 2-26-10. Other wise the bank will be taking this one through the Foreclosure process.


Okay, Yeah this is for REAL. Check it out.  I ran ALL Estimate cost, expenses and projected Net Profits for YOU.

DO YOU LIKE a 21% RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT within 2 yrs?  Does Cap Rate Confuse you?  It's okay..I don't even mention cap rate...just plan simple cash return on your total investment and this deal can get you a 21% return over 2 years if you follow my plan.  I wish I had the money to invest  because I would do it myself and that's the plan truth!

MY PLAN.
Okay, See at the BOTTOM of this Blog information about Current Market Value, CO Report, Roof Estimate...I have everything covered...if I don't let me know and I will cover that too.

THE DISCLOSURE: This is given in My professional Opinion  all investments should be confirmed on an individual bases and by your tax accountant or investment specialist – Moriah Martin, RE/MAX real estate. (To me the numbers are proof)

PRE-APPROVED SHORT SALE - 83,720.30 - Yeah the bank even wants the .30 cents too...LOL

Propery Location: 931 Fernwood Street Bethlehem, PA 18018 - Click Here for LV MLS Details

Basic Features: 3 Beds 1 Bath, 1400 sq feet, Covered Front Porch, Updated Kitchen, Updated Electrical and Heating system (not highend or brand new not org either) Partial Finished Basement and Attic but needs so work, fenced in back yard, off street parking.


At the Most the property can use $15,000.00 – Low End Repairs – Not Highend this is an investment property.

$7000.00 for a new Roof – We have estimate Actually – The Estimate came in at 5000 but you may need to replace Plywood
$8000.00 For painting, Carpet, and other small repairs

The more you do the more the property will be worth of course.

Investment Estimated PURCHASE NUMBERS

The Purchase
Price = $83,720.30 (preapproved by Bank)
Closing Costs as Shown on Est HUD = $4067.15
TOTAL CASH NEEDED TO CLOSE = $87,787.45

(I can email you the Estimated HUD from the Title Company, yeah I know it's hard to believe..LOL)

Estimated  Repairs $15,000.00 + TOTAL CASH NEED TO CLOSE = 102,800.00 (rounded #’s)


OPTIONS

1) Rent Property for minimum $850.00 – see proof below (depending on updates could get more) Worst Case 850

(950 is proven by current market value)

2) Rent to Own for first 2 years and then sell at $118,000.00 this is slam dunk sale right now – see proof below - I am already working with Interested Lease option to Buy Home Buyers...they are Flocking in...the loans are harder to get...but, with me they work with Local Credit Repair Companies...okay, yeah...the right way to depend on a future sale.

OKAY, SO, Annual Rental Income at 850.00 per month = 10,200

Estimated Costs For Rental on Annual Basis

Maintenance Calls - $1500.00 - It's a good idea to use a Home Warranty Company to help.
Property Taxes – 2473.00

Property Ins 1000.00

YOUR Net Rental Income = $5227.00 Annual (based on all costs above) THIS IS WORST CASE.

If you resell in 2 years at 118,000.00 (this is worst case and a slam dunk deal in this market, if you don't think so just work with me and I can make it happen for you)

118,000.00 Minus cost of Sale in Future - *$3800.00 - Org Investment = 102,800.00 = $11,400.00 Net
YEEEEHAAAWWW

TOTAL NET OVER 2 YEARS = $21,854.00
or you can just continue to RENT year after year after year. Raising the rent $50.00 each year..etc.

*3800.00 Above is figured on using a Real Estate Agent (like me..lol) to assist in the sale in the future if needed a 2% plus other standard closing cost 1% Transfer and 110 deed prep and 35 notary fee
