Hi everybody, here is my situation  I want to purchase a fixer upper to hold and rent.  

My biggest issue with this appraisal is that he used a fixer upper that had recently been foreclosed on and a short sale as comps for a nicely remodeled home, when there are numerous remodeled sales in the neighborhood selling for $60,000 - $70,000 more.  

I know some of the mediocre craigslist photography was a big turn off for me while I was looking for places to rent, so if you're looking to step your photography game up in between tenants in the Florida Keys (prefer upper and middle keys at the moment, but could be willing to travel to the lower keys for the right opportunity), shoot me a message on here.I would also be willing to help with light cleaning if necessary in between tenants.

My main question is, the two properties I am looking at are fixer uppers, at least 40k will be needed.

Essentially doing the leg work for whole sale agents, saving them time and providing leads.

Then you can dig through and do the leg work yourself.

I do this kind of leg work for other investors and would be more than happy to help.  

@David Thompson Great insight, thanks for a different perspective, I like the mold of diversifying how you invest, it is similar to how I am looking at a new business adventure I started, While the returns of selling the product myself are greater, by letting someone else take a share of the pie and having them do the leg work my returns are INFINITE.

Right now we are finding rates in the upper 4% range for a 10 year lock.

Note: The property will most likely have to be a fixer upper as most properties in the Bronx, NY seem over priced at this point.
