Post Rental Renovation Question

[Ricardo Cuza]

Just a general question. More of a worry than anything.

So there is a vacant duplex for sale right down our street. My question is after rehabbing the vacant property, will we have to pay the monthly expenses of the property? How is this profitable? Is there a way to guarantee renters?

Our biggest concern is owning a property that we have to pay for and not profit on for longer than necessary.

Also, let’s say we have private lender funding for this property. Seeing as it is vacant, how does lender funding relate to vacancies over a period of time? Are we covered with private lender funding or does that monthly expense come straight out of our own pocket? No one ever seems to talk about that and so can’t find much online.

Any help appreciated!!!

There's no way to guarantee anything brother. Investing is a risk- sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. 

if they're extra cost, most likely they will come out of pocket. 

I suggest you run the numbers on the property before you commit to it. If the numbers make sense, go for it!
