A Bank Owned & a Short Sale Duplex – Cash Flow for the Investor..!

Comments Off  | 

Both are in “improving areas”, one in Citrus Heights and one in Rancho Corodva.

The Citrus Heights Bank Owned Duplex

Ok…  Let’s start with the Bank Owned Duplex in Citrus Heights that is located at 7700 – 7702 Sayonara Drive. Each side is a 2 bedroom 1 bath unit with Fireplaces, Central Heat & Air,  Garages and Washer Dryer Hookups.   One side has had a Kitchen update.

I’m sure there will be multiple offers on this one because it’s not going to take much to get it “rent ready”.

The Rancho Cordova Short Sale Duplex

The “Short Sale” Duplex is located at 2597 & 2599 Capitales, Rancho Cordova.   Each side on this one is a 3 bedroom 2 bath that includes Central Heat & Air, Fireplaces, Washer Dryer Hook ups, Garages.   One of the units has Kitchen and Bath updates and the other side has a tenant that has lived there for 22 years.

If you commute to Sacramento, the Light Rail Station is about a half mile away.

Click Here for a Flyer with some pictures of the left side that is under going some repair work.

I’ve been working sales of Duplexes for a long time and this street has one big problem.   While these duplexes are for the most part all 3 bedrooms on each side they lack sufficient parking because almost everyone has at least 2 cars.  As you will see in the flyer one car is on the grass.   The solution is to “increase the size” of the Driveway.   Take a look at the video I made of the street and see if you don’t agree that you can make lemonade out of a lemon.

The cash flow figures are going to be pretty much the same as the Citrus Heights duplex that I profiled above.   On this Duplex though,  we do have two loans that will probably take a little longer to complete the short sale.

I just put this Duplex on the MLS last week and we have two offers on it, so we’ll see how it goes from here.

Finally….

If you are a first time visitor to this Blog Site and are looking for an investment property don’t forget to check out the Free List Page and then send me a note if you’d like to have me analyze it’s potential cash flow.   If you send me an email request,  I’d be happy to send to you an Excel file that you can use over and over to calculate potential cash flow for property that you are considering.

Make it a Great Day…!

A Bank Owned Duplex & A Short Sale Duplex – Same Street

You Want the Cash Flow Numbers…?  I Got The Numbers –  Check Them Out…!

First the Short Sale Duplex

I was out and about and came across the Duplex located at 7535 Saint Philomena Way, Citrus Heights.

This thing has been priced so low that it will draw several multiple offers and I’m sure it will go into escrow for at least $180,000.   Now I wasn’t able to get into the units because they are occupied..  At least one is, because when I was there taking pictures a resident was leaving one side.

I”ve based the Cash Flow estimates at a price of $180,000.   Click here for a PDF File for more information.

Click here for a Video that I took that will show the neighborhood better than the Street View link I posted above.  The Street View was taken during Winter months and doesn’t show as well as the Video I took.

Now below is the information for the Bank Owned Duplex

It’s located a few doors away at 7543-45 Saint Philomena.  The “street view” will start you on the way out to Fair Oaks Blvd.,  so when you get on it, go to the left and around the corner to see the property.   By the way… 0ne side is occupied and the other is just about “rent ready”.     For the Pro-forma Cash Flow Figures Click Here.
