My partners and I have been talking up, emailing out, and posting these cute (and profitable) little Jackson, MS rehab properties for a while. I thought I'd post a case study that shows what a value we've really put together.

Here's a property we sold a while back in Jackson (click on image for full screen view):

Note that, all in (acquisition plus rehab costs), this buyer had less than $50k into this property. 

I just visited Jackson last week, and went around seeing some of the new properties, as well as checking up on some of our recent sales. I went past the 524 West Hill property to see how it turned out and do a "live report" call-in spot for the radio show. I noticed a house for sale across the street, so I had  one of my contacts look up the info for me. Here's the MLS sheet on it (click on image for full screen view):

On a nearly identical house (similar aesthetics, 6 sq. ft. bigger, similar lots), the property across the street is being listed at $80,000. Assuming they accepted $75k, that still means our original estimate of value was a couple of thousand low. So our buyer got a steal with over $16k in equity, positive cash flow, and LESS THAN ZERO DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET!!!

I'm kinda proud of that....
