Charlotte- Model Home Investment, At the Right Price

A South Charlotte Model Home Investment That Makes Sense

Ryan Homes came to us with a model home, the model above but to be built,  investment/rent back that is on the right track–what it is Not is an overpriced house, you’ll never be able to resell.

The Ryan home for sale is located in the new community of Ballanmoor, across the street from the very popular Ardrey Kell High School, next to Ardrey, in one of Mecklenburg County’s best school clusters.

The Ryan Base Price  of the Genevieve, with the four extensions: Morning Room, Sitting Room, Bonus and Inlaw Suite- the Base price is  $535,900 on 4,460 square foot.  They have added $100,000 + in options, so it will be a beautiful home. At $600,000, it would be $134/sf.

The average cost per square foot of homes sold in 28277 for the first quarter of 2009? $116/sf. However the upper end range went as high as $200/sf in the better Ballantyne, $150/sf in “lesser Ballantyne.” Ballantyne is 5 minutes away, and 28277 is the highest income zip code in the greater Charlotte area…$134/sf is not out of line.

Model homes in Charlotte were often considered the perfect investment-

a long -term quality renter, paying a good rent, on an appreciating property. Now, investors look harder at the prices, since builder often want to load the model with options, and then charge the investor for those options- which the investor normally would pass on.

These days, investor need to get the fully optioned home below the base price.  From Ryan Homes, just south of Ballantyne– a Five-Star location/ Ryahn price with options $604,000, we hear they’ll accept 549,000

Base is typically about $500K with the ground floor guest suite addition

One year lease at $4,354, likely option beyond,  builder to pay utilities. I’d ask for 24 months. Here are some of the features:
