I started investing in rental properties in the Scranton area around  6 months ago, and I also just started doing Fix & Flips in the surrounding areas Olyphant, and Taylor, Old Forge. and I would love to ask if you are doing in this area please share your success stories in that area, I am really curious if people have seen success in this cheap market, and let's help each other with info,  I would love to hear from you, and help you with the knowledge that I gathered in this 6 months.Thank you  I would love to hear from you.

Then I fix them up, rent them out and refinance.

I have a lot of clients where I only get their DSCR business, but not their fix and flip. 

It has one door and two fixed windows on the sides of the door.

I believe that the Federal Reserve is going to cut rates by 25-50 bps at it's September meeting (no emergency cut), but that 30-year fixed rate mortgage rates will rise to upper 6s low 7s around the same time, and Commercial borrowing rates, including for multifamily, will increase as well. 

He spend $3k fixing it up, rented it for $700, but lot rent was $300.

If not fixed I have seen people sell for double what the work is because they need to take on the project once closed. 

I have been doing fix-n-flips throughout COVID, but I have always been in the market area to manage them.   

If calling a plumber to fix a real leak is going to kill your reserves, this is a bad deal on a property and bad cash flow.The first thing to learn as a landlord is that everything is your responsibility to cure.

Finding the leak, obviously, is vital to knowing the fix.
