Access to financing, such as 90% of the purchase price, can significantly lower the entry barrier, but success still depends on having a well-thought-out plan for managing renovation costs, timelines, and potential risks to ensure a profitable outcome.

I'd plan to save any profits each month for future CapEx, repairs, vacancy until we had ~20K for this house set aside.

I'm curious if you have considered approaching local non profits that might want a private partner.

This is important because right now we could probably make around $200 profit after all mortgage payments, insurance, etc.

The strategy involves using the HELOC for a flip to generate fast cash, reinvesting profits into long-term rentals, or exploring alternative ventures like short-term rentals or partnerships.

My thinking is this leaves me with two paths: A) Best case is I pick up the foreclosure for $1M, immediately list it for sale at $1.6M or more and hopefully sell for a > $500K pretax profit. 

The property cash flowed roughly $250 a month for 3 years and sold for a profit of roughly $80K.

Reduce the price, make the sale, split the profits, and re-start your life.

Where do I find the stats/analytics to compare if it would be more profitable to buy storage units/qualdruplex/residential, for example.
