RW's fee structure is interesting because it's a "look over HERE, not over THERE" approach. 

Does this approach seem reasonable, or am I undervaluing the property?

Your experience as a real estate agent, coupled with your technical expertise, makes you a strong asset to the local investment community.Your “live and flip” strategy and focus on PML partnerships sound like a smart approach to building your portfolio.

I'd rather invest with the local 26 year old who lives in their second house-hack, drives their 10 year old car, and is raising their first small apartment syndication that they will self-manage, putting their own money into the deal, than some 45-year old guru who's secret sauce turned out to be their ability to charm on TikTok, but really, their approach to deals ended up being the "secret" to transforming $300M in real estate into $215M between 2021 and 2025.

Your approach to asset protection and tax codes is impressive—I’m sure it will give you a solid foundation as you move forward with your investments.I completely agree with you on the U.S. market being a bit more affordable than in Canada, and the opportunities with Section 8 housing are definitely enticing for ensuring stable cash flow.

Total profit less closing costs and commissions will be about 42,500 each or 85k total.I would for sure get a construction loan, may be worth approaching 2 or 3 different banks and getting separate construction loans from different banks. 

Do you provide personalized guidance, or is the mentorship more of a one-size-fits-all approach?

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.
