Well, not so fast.For every successful flip, there is an account of some nightmare project that sucked the bank account of someone dry.

They had carpeted the bedrooms and common areas, and the living room was still original wood...well I decided to pull up the old carpet and lo and behold - original wood in pristine condition.

From there we identify properties that could have some potential and if you are interesting in diving deeper, 1) we do a thorough video walkthrough to give you a realistic look of the property, 2) we give a ballpark estimate of rehab costs (we do 40 a year with our GCs o we will get pretty close), 3) we talk through market rent with our property management team, ARV, and potential highest and best use.Ideally you find great investor agents who know their market really well and have a network of resources to provide you with enough confidence to take reasonable action. 

All depends on a lot of things.No experience with or have ever heard of that lender, but I will look into them as well. 

I've been burned renting to friends, leasing rentals to friends doesnt end well. 

I will say from personal experience, I think that because it is a paid platform that people take it more seriously and are more active in the community.

I feel like i would open it up but stage it well with furniture to show the split 

It's works most anywhere- but not everywhere that rental real estate works well in. 

Additionally, I am also open to the Tobyhanna and Strausberg area as well.

The hostex.io works well for my situation.Thanks once again.
