I have a lender that will do cash out refinances even if no rehab was done on the property, using the higher appraised value the day after you buy a house.

Quote from @Adam Sieg: I’ve used all but the only company I continue to buy through is R2R.

Just make sure you are fluid with this info on each property so you do not buy wrong.  

I primarily buy local so I actually go see the sellers and the property in person if I can. 

@Dennis Bragg, how did you factor improvements and market appreciation into the buy-back price?

Most likely trying to find a sucker to buy this and take over the costly legal battle they are entailed in.So next time someone is like "yeah just get a deed in lieu at closing", think twice about that.Actually, I use the deed in lieu.  

)  Arizona Arizona is a snow bird state, we have golf, baseball training, then a dead hot summer where nobody comeshow can I come up with some numbers before wasting time to look for furnitures and buying beds ?

Quote from @Rolayne Taylor: We started with one buy and hold in 2019.

My personal preference for a buy and hold would be an already established area (or an area that's still gentrifying, but has already seen significant progress). 

Buy a lot and build a house for sale in 2026.
