There's a monthly bigger pockets meetup on the first Tuesday of every month at Resident Culture in the Plaza area from 7 - 9pm.

I ran the numbers with a GC and it’s well below the arv.

I'm thinking of switching it up and doing this Saturday morning, say 10-11/11:30, so folks could come up and then go out and enjoy all that the valley has to offer (wine, food, culture). 

I ran into a strange deal a year or so ago.. 

I ran the numbers with the calculator found on the BP website, and I estimate the repairs to be 35k, closing costs 3k, holding costs 4.5k (3 months) and agent fee 9.5k.

I ran many different numbers but its hard to find a flaw.

My wife and I had a bit of a 'culture shock' when we went from a high rise in River North to our first investment property in Irving Park...but we eventually grew to really love Irving Park and found a ton of great local restaurants, etc.  

I ran out of cash and now need to finish up.Options:1) I have heard about interest only payments and refinancing at the end, but I don't know how to find these.2) I also heard about a program called Homestay  that provides the renovation money and then refinances all in one. the interest rate is a bit higher than a regular refinance since there is a loan involved. but is doable.3) is there an option 3??

When it came time to sell the other one, I ran into the same title issue with the same title company that issued the policy for my flip.

man, these clickbait titles, tho... that blanket statement doesn't work every time, you are correct. i ran some numbers on a home with a purchase price of $145k (mls, so the price is obv high(er)) that needed about $35k in repairs to make it nice for an arv of $225k (conservative). profit came out to be about $15k (after closing, carrying, etc.). roughly 20% return on cash outlays (dp, cc, repairs). rent would've been about $1700/mo on this one. refing it @75% would leave me 20k in the deal with about $200/mo CF.
