Quote from @Kevin Sobilo: I plan to find a couple of comparable properties with different zoning to demonstrate how zoning increases/decreases value.

Good answers here from @Michael Plaks and @Sean Graham - couple more suggestions:Keep in mind that you also have the option to Reverse 1031 Exchange.

Were seeing a lot of BRRRR refinances in the sixes rate wise recently - rates have been a bit volatile last couple of weeks but some really solid BRRRR deals going on with DSCR considering the short seasoning periods and rates really competitive with conventional alternatives

I am clearly biased in that I think PassivePockets is great - but I always recommend you join a couple communities and then settle in the one where the culture of the Community best fits your personality. 

To which we didn`t see any activity for a couple of weeks.

Best of luck in Knoxville, not sure I have investors in that market that could help, but I do know a couple of agents that could provide some perspective. 

Maybe, get into a couple rougher multi-fmailys to get started?

To pencil out whether a deal is good I work at a high level and have maybe a 15-25 tasks and to actually manage the work once I buy a property I might have a a couple hundred tasks depending on the complexity of the job. 

The issue with RUBS is that it is fluid and it hinges on the # of occupants and this poses issues: 1) A child uses less than an adult; 2) a worker from home uses more than one that drives to work; 3) A couple may have a child during tenancy which they fail to divulge; 4) friends and family may visit for a few days during holidays.... etc. etc. etc.  --- and... these issues become issues for the other Tenant and then turns you into the constant 'utility police' because you constantly have to monitor # of occupants... eww. 50/50 is simple and simply understood and 100% while vacant is also simply understood.

I too am a General Contractor and investor here in Spokane, although only a couple months in to the BP community.
