Keep in mind the subs will want to time slot the work.

Value add opportunities come in countless forms—it can be as simple as painting the walls, or as in-depth as building a DADU and sub-dividing the lot.

For Winter 2024, more affordable Midwestern and Northeastern markets dominated the Top 20 list, with Ohio alone taking 5 slots.

That is what it all boils down to.If a lender asks what your plan is and you say there is a new slot machine in Vegas you want to try out, that probably isn't going to fly.If you say you found a 4 bed 2 bath built in 2015 that you can buy for $350,000 and after fix up of $40,000 will sell for $500,000 that gets the conversation started.

Will rent long term and add DADU in rear (large lot with 2 streets and alley access) or rebuild with duplex or triplex in the future depending on cashflow.

Buy a property that has a separate living space/area and live in the smaller section (Basement/DADU) and then rent the main house/living space. 

Also you're just stuck in a tough slot.
