The comps for a 1,200 sqft house in this area range from $250K to $300K, which would give me a minimum of 25% ARV after rehabbing the house.

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.

You gave a range, but pointed out that in Philadelphia the cost would be higher.

You must have done everything reasonable, even unreasonable, to cure the issue and document it.I lost $200.00 once in court because a tenant removed the range and would not let us reinstall it.

If I go the conventional route ,at the pace of my savings, I would be able to afford a property in that price range a little over a year later.

My last non-recourse loan was in the low 4% range (less than 3 yrs ago).

Typically, a cost segregation study ranges from $5,000 to $15,000.

So, with $100,000, you could afford properties totaling $400,000 to $500,000 in value.Number of Properties: You could go for one property around $400,000 or split your funds across two or three properties in the $150,000 to $200,000 range.

I am leaning towards purchasing a primary that would require light-medium rehab, in the $125-175k range, possibly with less than 20% DP.

No stock screenings, no work, set it and forget it, exposure to a broad range of good companies and different sectors of economy.
