Hi Paul,

I looked at the numbers on this property and as listed by you and the flyer, it doesn't add up. Help me understand. Is the ARV listed wrong?

Cost $267K + Repairs $75K = $342K
and you have the ARV listed at $324K
How does that make the investor any money?

Hi Willowme!

Yes, sorry, that was the first locked-up deal for me.

I had difficulty with how to market it and at one point obtained CMA twice and used my own title company data.

One strategy was to afford a lesser sale price by targeting less money to just fix the dwelling and let the garage wait for a year, thus the $30k repairs.

Another was to bring the shop and dwelling to acceptable condition, thus the $75k repairs which didn't make sense.

The flyer app I used generates html to copy and paste manually into some popular sites like CL and others. It looks like I didn't regenerate the html after changing the repair field in the app. The field value appears in one place and the html-built value was no longer the one in the auto-post version of the ad.

But, you may find that my latest contract is better:

. Please let me know what you think!

Thank you for the note!
