Once again, follow up gets the deal. The first offer on this REO was outright rejected. It then went under contract, we tracked the property, the deal did not close, we offered again right away, offer outright rejected again. Property went under contract AGAIN. Buyer did not close, property went back on the market, we immediately offered again. Offer rejected but bank countered this time. We came back with a $1000 increase in our offer and a 14 day inspection period. Bank countered with a 7 day inspection and $1500 earnest in certified funds. We accepted.
Here are the numbers.
ARV is $230,000
Rehab/remodel costs $40,000
Accepted offer amount $136,500
Sold it to the first buyer I called for $145,000.
A quick $8500!
My buyer will net $22,000.
