Identifying the right properties, executing renovations with care, and remaining cognizant of market fluctuations help investors transform undervalued homes into profit-generating portfolios.

By having additional parcels, investors can generate more equity and value compared to simply adding an ADU.

My approach balances both—ensuring that my investments generate income while also appreciating in value over time.

It’s not for everyone.I built a 12-door portfolio in Detroit, generating $16,000/month in gross rents, and I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Consequently, there’s a rise in investors pivoting to these strategies when their initial investment strategy fails.

You'll want to focus on securing a favorable financing deal at the refinance stage—ideally, you want to pull out as much of your initial investment as possible while keeping monthly payments manageable.A big consideration is understanding your after-repair value (ARV) and ensuring the rehab costs add value in proportion to that.

I recently came across domus.pro, where you can upload a property photo, choose a camera movement, and generate a video for around $0.30 per clip, with 4K options too.

Managing 25 properties worldwide, I’ve scaled operations to generate $1M+ annually, which led to acquiring a hotel in Costa Rica.

Hi Charles, As long as the borrower can show they have similar renovation experience, you should be able to do 80-85 on the initial PP and 100% of the rehab financed.
