I personally use Bnbcalc: https://bnbcalc.com/?

Note, I am not looking for a syndicate to BRRR or rent of some sort.Experience: I have personally bought an old home on a 8,000 sq ft lot, rezoned it to two 4,000 sq ft lots with a family member.

This reminds me of a police officer  pulling somebody over without reasonable cause and asking to search their vehicle and if the person does not consent, they’re saying you must have something to hide.

Out of all the tools I would personally suggest Pricelabs for sure.

1.Finding Value: Identifying properties with strong upside potential is critical in markets like Antioch.2.Rehab Management: Staying under budget and on schedule ensures better cash flow and quicker refinancing.3.Leverage Matters: The HELOC strategy allows me to scale quickly and acquire more properties without tying up personal capital.

Any insights, advice, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

PreREO I believe was run by the same person who owns AHP (American Home Preservation) - which has a lot of chatter on BP that you can search. 

I know one person that did this recently and was able to negotiate no money down and 12% over 5 years but this was probably in the mid west.
