There is so much here at BP, you can immerse yourself for ages.

Quote from @Jacob Sherman: ground up construction is always much cleaner . in a fix and flip there are many unknows that may pop up after the demo stage is complete  this guy knows what he's talking about. forget fix and flip. new construction also appraises 20% above at least existing depending on age plus land cost is cheaper and less competitive, especially in markets like columbus 

It probably would have solved your problem unless it was just an aging/untrained animal. 

and high-quality visuals or short videos explaining your process.Target your audience by focusing on specific zip codes, homeowners aged 30-65, and interests related to real estate and home improvement.

This is a larger 2500sqft home so that makes a lot of sense.I'm sure the age of the home is a factor in the replacement value as well. 

What age?

Biggest thing to me is why wasn't the first round of capital enough, and why wasn't it brought up to 90% Occupancy ages ago?

At the end, subtract the mortgage payment and cap ex reserve (depends on age of the property, but 2.5-10% of gross rent received) and arrive at cash flow.

Especially with the rising age of the baby boomers, I can see a growing need for accessible housing for the elderly wanting to downsize or diminish the effort of maintaining a single family home. 

I wanted to possibly live here myself into older age and later rent it.
