Nicholas, yes I am pretty solid in the ARV being 160-165k.  And my all in price will be about 120k all in which with a LTV of 75% will get me most if not all of my money back at least even if it breaks even or is slightly cash flow negative

Dalton thanks for the advice. Yes I really am learning so much in this process. I have talked to my contractors and think I am doing that part well.  I just am at the point where I will break even or slightly cash flow negative. That makes it tough but I think I can still get the ARV needed to cash out refi and not have any money in the deal

Mitch thanks for the tips and advice. I have learned so much on this one and have been writing down and learning all that I have taken away.  
At this point I am still thinking I can get 160-165k ARV and more so break even on expenses with the house. Are you still saying that it would be best to sell it? I can hopefully break even on the deal right now, I am just excited and ready to get some real estate that I can buy and hold

I’ve considered that and thought about it for the same reasons that you mentioned

I recently bought my first BRRRR and am trying to figure out what I should do next as I feel like I am a bit in a bind. Part of it is a learning process and I have learned a lot for future deals. Another part may be me getting a little nervous. I was thinking the house would rent for 1200-1350 but it seems now the range is 1000-1200 with 1200 being the highest for the area so may be hard to get. I was estimating the ARV at 160-165k which I don't know what it will be for sure but I'm a little worried it might be less which throws a wrench in things as well.

I bought a two bedroom one bath house in Indy for 70k which was 10k under asking. Renovation is 46k and is being done now and roughly 4 weeks from being done. I purchased it with a HELOC so higher interest debt until I can cash out refi. Plus any miscellaneous payments such as interest, inspections, etc.

At this point I think I need to finish the renovations regardless. It’s looking like this will cash flow neg just with est mortgage payments plus insurance and taxes of $1100ish (after renovation), property management of $120.

The house is a simple two bed one bath with a garage and a fenced in backyard. The renovations are going to be higher end and the house is pretty simple with a detached garage but no closets in the house.

I feel like I wanted to really start growing my portfolio but feel like I may have jumped the gun. What recommendations might I consider? Let me know if you have any questions

Yes same here which is why I mentioned it. I asked my realtor about it and he said that is not the case but I have always heard what you mentioned
