The problem with the numbers that I see is the timeframe of repayment. 1 to 2 years at even no interest would mean a 50% - 100% return each year.

You didn't say what the specific deal is, how much work it will take, time frames, and what is required, so it's hard to give a good answer.

Hi @Patrick Gault,A lot of this depends on both on your time frame (for your first withdrawal) and how you define "low risk".If you are looking at needing the money in less than a year, the only "low risk" option that I am aware of is keeping it in cash. 

. • Demo• Minor plumbing & electric• New drywall and durorock• New tile• New flooring• New Vanity and Faucet• New exhaust fan• Paint• New baseboardsWhile most of this is inexpensive to replace, installing the tile can add up along with materials.

If it were my stairs, I would have regular oak treads put down and then have an inexpensive runner tacked into place to protect the treads and provide better footing. 

Some people offer as low as $100 and the state will accept it, giving them either the tax certificate or the tax deed (depending on the timeframe).

Time frame to build that all out I would imagine is in multi decades?

I’m an agent and one of my recent clients got a VA loan with NXT Mortgage- Tyler was very responsive at all hours and did the VA loan in our tight 3 week timeframe.

Hey @Brock LarameeHave you considered living in the unit for a short time frame and then moving out and using the cash flow to rent somewhere more desirable.

(my latest was a 5 bedroom,   $920 guaranteed rent, $500 clear cash flow on $60,000 investment) I'm just a retired architectural designer, but I found a unique WWll city with below market and inexpensive homes with huge demand from gov sub Urban dwellers!!!
