It’s still rough and has plenty of room for improvement, but I can upload photos of a distressed property, tax records, comps, lender rates, and local rehab costs.From there, it analyzes the photos to identify repairs, explains why they’re needed, estimates costs for each item, calculates the total rehab budget, determines ARV based on comps, and provides an expected return—basically automating a lot of what spreadsheets already do.It’s not meant to replace an analyst, and of course, everything still needs to be verified.

This is all despite the fact that they've made no improvements to the properties since acquiring them, and local property value indices only have about 15% appreciation for property values in the last 2 years for my area.

Combine that with some government austerity and the debt issue improves.

At the end of the day, losing $10k is really not a lot in the grand scheme of real estate investing, and given the seeming high volatility of this market ($275k to $220k, presumably in a matter of months), and the generally high monthly cost of HML, I would get out quickly and think of the loss as the cost of education.At least in my area (Cincinnati, OH) I don't see the market dramatically improving even as we get into the spring buying season, and, honestly, I only see mortgage rates continuing to climb for the foreseeable future, taking more and more buyers out of the market.

The cash flow does improve with the hold .  

Our average construction time from zero to finish is about 8 months after permit is issued and we are always improving.

Most land bank properties, Detroit or Wayne County, are trainwrecks and cost more to rehab than they are worth - unless the market keeps improving.Be careful on the next one, but keep improving Detroit!

However, if you can enhance privacy and add standout features—like a hot tub or a sauna barrel—it could justify higher rates and improve guest experience.

Congratulations @Krissi Miramontes, it's great to see someone helping improve Fair Oaks!

Should I wait for Spring for greater inventory, or for lower rates to see if cashflow improves?
