And, yes also to the HVAC- worth doing if it is that old, depending on the size of the house, it may only be $5000 to $10,000, and the new ones that are energy-certified will give you a tax credit, as well- not to mention, these will also help you sell our property faster when it is time to sell, as these will already be 'done'- not to mention, the new HVAC system will save your renters money every month in energy efficiency!

So when people think there is limited supply, there also is limited demand macro economically because most cannot afford a home.

@Brian Burke Both of these properties have management issues, starting out 18 months ago occupancy was in mid 80's at takeover, but the economic vacancy was high a lot of delinquency, courts backed up and they couldn't evict fast enough, meanwhile they did most of the Capex but weren't able to fill all the upgraded units quickly, they changed management companies and things were getting better but not fast enough, and yes it has bridge debt with no rate cap, and the amount of the capital is to be able and hold on till they hit 90% occupancy and will be able to refinance.Lessons I'm learning, Due diligence is walking every unit, looking at every lease and checking if money from leases are actually going into the bank.

So, looking at the flips I take on, with anticipated profits in the $70k+ range, the setup costs alone are eating nearly 20% of your potential profits, and that is before any real splits with your investors, leaving both your investors and you with not a lot of money left to spread around.A fund could work, but typically, for the economics of a syndication/fund structure to work, you are looking at several million of equity, leveraged up to high single millions, if not into $10+ million range for their to be enough money to make it worth everyone's efforts.

Rust Belt (like you are looking it) is OK but pretty economically depressed.

This preference for city living has fueled demand for urban condos, lofts, and apartments, driving revitalization efforts in downtown areas and contributing to the development of mixed-use communities that combine residential, retail, and commercial spaces.Emphasis on Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: Millennials are more environmentally conscious than previous generations, placing a high value on sustainability, energy efficiency, and eco-friendly features when choosing a home.
