While it’s good to help others, you must protect your business first.Today, we’ve refined our processes and now consistently earn an average of $35,000 per wholesale deal with minimal stress and mistakes.

After construction is complete I would do a cash out refinance to pay off the heloc and then rent the home with hopes of it cash flowing and appreciating in value. 

My hope was with a buy & hold strategy, I could refinance within 1-2 years.

Whether it's a refinance on a balloon payment coming due or as simple as an active duty military person wanting to house hack their first home.

Here are the numbers:Purchase - $70KRehab  - $50KARV - $180KCash out refinance - will get 100% of my investment back or pocket up to $15KProblem - I am estimating that my monthly cash flow will be about $100 a month.

Also, ensure whoever you utilize does not have a pre payment penalty or its low so you have the ability to refinance after a year of stabalizing the property.

That is a fast way to increase your equity when it's time to refinance.  

(My HELOC is at 3.5% and I won’t consider it as not worth risk - I don’t leverage my home for investments unless it’s buy all cash and then refinance to get that $ back)

My wife (26) and I (27) are wrapping up renovations on our first investment with plans to sell come spring or refinance to hold it as a rental.

@Su Pakit doesn't make sense to me... a $22K entry fee + $30-40K rehab and then no way to refinance.
