I have been looking at properties and it seemed like the seller s  based their price on zero percent cash flow for the buyer.

They market as “lock in now at today’s prices and reap the benefits later”  but that is just not the reality.

Delayed Purchase, no Rehab completed 0-6 Months Up to 80% of purchase price Cash-Out Refinance, no Rehab completed 6+ Months Up to 75% of appraised value Cash-out refi, Rehab completed 0-3 Months (no seasoning requirement) 75% of appraised value Good rates Cash-out refi, Rehab completed 3-6 Months 75% of appraised value Best rates

Seems to me my options are...SELL - If I were to put it on the market I think I could reasonably get $2.8M - $3M, but at a 2.9M sale price my return on my initial investment is only 38%, or 7.6% a year over the 5 years.

.: Quote from @Andrew Steffens: Curious what is the purchase price and taxes/insurance/HOA?

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Recently purchased my first house to use as a primary residence, currently I am renovating the kitchen and adding a full bathroom to the first floor.

Every year realtor.com releases a Top Housing Markets report based on anticipated sales growth (inventory) and price growth (appreciation).

What do contractors typically charge to come out to a potential property and walk through and fill out a SOW with pricing?    

If you're in MKE, then you'll probably want to connect with @Shawn Ackerman.Do you a price range you're targeting and are you looking for a turn-key property or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?
