This would allow you to defer the capital gains tax, and instead of taking a large tax hit, you would be able to use the tax to invest in a nicer property/properties.

Glad to have you as part of this community, Bryce! 

Typlcally, a lender is going to lend 75% - 90% of the Cost of the project (property price plus rehab cost (scope of work)) or 70% - 75% of the ARV (As Repaired (as completed) Value).

I pay the internet / utilities.

Also the ability to repay -  your source of income. 

Here's the deal:Purchase Price (PP): $95kRenovation Budget (via HML): $60kTotal All-In Cost: $155kARV (After Repair Value): Around $200kRefinance (via DSCR Loan): 7% interest, 30-year fixedRefinance Details: After the refi, I will pay back the Hard Money Loan (HML) at 11.95% with 3 points:HML: $60,000Interest/fees: $3,585Other costs: $1,800Total to pay back HML: $65,385After the refi, I will have $84,615 left in cash.Cash Flow & Expenses:Expected Rent Income: $1,700/monthProperty Management (PM): $126/monthInsurance: $100/monthTaxes: $126/monthMortgage: $1,043.75/monthTotal Expenses: $1,395.75/monthSo my monthly cash flow is about:$1,700 - $1,395.75 = $304.25/month in cash flow.Return on Investment:Cash Invested After Refi: About $18,385 (after paying off HML and closing costs).Annual Cash Flow: $304.25 * 12 = $3,651Cash-on-Cash Return (CoC): $3,651 / $18,385 = 19.8%I didn’t account for maintenance costs since it’s a full gut rehab, and everything is brand new.

Great tools out there to evaluate the density of rentals, houses sold/for sale like Zillow and Redfin can give you a great perspective on these and help guide your decisions!

., so you can't get financing on a condotel most of the time.

Also for time being cancel the premium subscription as that will also probably get them to reach out to you
