CAN A PROFIT BE MADE HERE? - Posted by MARK

What are you trying to accomplish? If you paid the going rate and financed it to the hilt then no, you are not going to make a profit.

If you just want to bail at any price, and the townhouse is worth somewhere near what you owe on it, then you may be able to sell on a lease option and even squeek out a little profit.

If this is your home and you suddenly got the hots to do real estate deals by reading this site, then cool your jets. You would be better off staying where you are, learning more about the RE investing business and looking around for a deal you can really profit on.

I brought a townhouse last December for $112,000.
A few months ago I got an equity loan for $15,000 by signing over my deed to the loaner.
My question is this-is there a way I can lease option this to buy another home? This house was purchased with my VA certificate a year ago.Anyway to turn a profit?
I figure about $127,000 is owed totally, not counting the interest on the borrowed $112,000.
Any help is better than none!
Thanks!
