Once I got over the idea of giving up my low rate, it made a ton of sense.In my opinion, letting the equity just sit there isn’t justified by holding onto a low rate.

So for example, in the Orlando market, a 4bd house is pretty low as a standard but over here in the Tampa Bay Area a 4bd house is quite high on the STR ladder.  

The risk of problems is extremely low, even in larger markets.

Unfortunately, North Jersey is probably one of the hardest BRRRR markets in the country right now because of extremely low inventory, high demand, and pushed up prices because single-family home buyers are buying the properties that we all used to buy to fix up because they are desperate.You can BRRRR, carefully, into many parts of Pennsylvania though but remember that interest rates right now make it very hard to BRRRR.

The term Diversified Core Equity style typically reflects lower risk investmentstrategies utilizing low leverage and generally represented by equity ownership positions in stable U.S. operating properties.There are currently 25 private funds that are included in the index.So in short, only this froum is tracking private data from an institutional private core-only real estate syndication.They're tracking core-add only and un-levered position.Here is the return of Commerial Private Real Estate core-only unlevered position for 4 quarter :        Q1__Q2___Q3____Q4____Annual 2007 3.71% 4.82% 3.68% 1.90% 14.84%2008 1.15% 0.09% -0.85% -11.04% -10.70%2009 -13.89% -9.24% -7.52% -3.70% -30.40%2010 0.51% 4.09% 5.22% 4.70% 15.26%..2022 7.14% 4.54% 0.31% -5.17% 6.55%2023 -3.38% -2.88% -2.10%  n/aAnnualized net return from Q4 last year : -15% !!!

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: Ive seen credit as low as 450, high as 830.Both of these are the 99th percentile though. thank you for some reason I thought 800 was highest.. its always confusing to me how they come up with those scores.. 

Easy and low cost.Simple for folks to access.

This property presented a perfect value-add opportunity with its low purchase price and potential for high returns.

Ideally completing light renovations like this shouldn't take long and you should  have a low holding cost on the hard money loan (if you used debt) and make a higher profit on the sale or have more flexibility on the payoff when you refinance  Plan on long-term and hold.

@Carl TrubLots of legal and tax implications - you should look at having them put the home in a living trust.I am not an attorney but there are ways to make it so your cost basis is today's value versus a lower value such as if you buy it at a low cost.
