With closing costs, housing costs, agent commissions, my HELOC costs, I estimated about $20-$30k profit, depending on sale price.But, now I am thinking this would be a great BRRRR to learn those ropes as well!

(You only have to buy as much as you net from the sale, this lowered your n.) 

Sales commissions in DSTs average 6%. 

Purchase price: $65,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Sale price: $195,000 Live in flip.

Quote from @Sarah Hartstein: Hello everyone, I am brand new to this website and looking forward to gaining some extra insights on property within the US and beyond ;) I started as a part-time Realtor with Keller Williams in Santa Barbara, California, however domestic sales never really “tooted my horn.”

@Patrick Osterling similarly I come from a sales background as well.

I'm looking to exchange a multi-use property I own in the Bay Area for a multifamily property (expected sales price $3 million) that I could potentially convert to MTR.

Purchase price: $65,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Sale price: $195,000 Live in flip.

If that realtor wants to subsequently be my agent for the sale of the lots I buy, I would be fine with that,  but the two activities need not be linked together. 

I have a basic knowledge of real estate 2 home purchases/rahabs (NM & CA) and 1 sale in CA.
