I have found my first property and it looks pretty good. Single family Cape, built in 1890. Assessed at $62,700.00.
FSBO, No existing loans. Seller wants $35,000.00 and the house needs about $20,000.00 worth of rehab (it is uninhabitable at this point).

I am planning to offer the seller $20,000.00, create a mortgage to cover the purchase and rehab and sell it in the secondary market. Is this the way to go, and what is the going rate for LTV and Yield that I should offer in my mortgage?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
