ThanksBrett, we do flips and rehabs and have several lenders in the area that specialize in ARV "style" loans.

Individualized container homes would be ill suited for assisted living style care.

Keep in mind all these markets are very different than the Cambridge area in terms of tenant base, household income, transit, etc.Happy to connect if you'd like to chat more!

One thing I was considering was an LLC/S-corp style entity where I can manage it while they get equity.

I am in discussions to seller finance a townhome-style quadplex.

You cannot have a contract that simply states "install high-quality countertops" without specifying the quantity, location, type, or style.

That area’s known for its classic charm and high-quality homes, and if you handle this right, you’ll be tapping into a buyer pool that values both style and substance.

The goal of the first 3 deals will be to target 1-4unit styled homes, requiring minor-rehab.

You'll likely find it easy to find people who will tell you what you want to hear, but you really need hard facts not speculation.But for some speculation, if you're talking about the Nantahala River or Little Tennessee, sure I think you might be able to do $22K/yr, but not much more, unless perhaps the places are uniquely styled. 

Your tenants who faced with an already tight household budget may decide to rig the issue instead of fixing it properly.
