For example if you think the house is worth 200K fixed up you need to pay 100K to afford the hard money loan and rehab budget and still have a profit.

Building a small house on this 25 acres. 

I recently came across a property through an agent with attractive numbers for a house flip.

Even if you rent the house for $2,000 a month, you will still lose because of maintenance, vacancies, and the expensive mistakes common with newer investors.You can borrow up to 70% of the equity.

How much will you spend in repairs on a 1920's house with renters ? 

I found houses that had not been well kept up.

I can also see the ends of the Commuter Rail lines being good too...like Haverhill for instance  The Salem/Beverly area is great and pretty pro-development/housing from what I'm hearing.

When I was renting (mostly houses), one of the first things I did when moving in was re-key the locks, then provide the landlord with a copy of the key.

At 29, I’m working toward retiring in 15 years by acquiring 10-20 rental properties using house hacking and the BRRRR strategy.

The interest rate is 7%, so we suggest this property is for someone who wants to get into Lease Options and meets the other requirements such as adequate reserves and credit.That means, they buy the property, they wind up with $50,000 in equity and they do a Lease Option to a buyer who doesn't currently own a house, but wants to.
