My advice for you (and my future self) so far is:- be very detailed about underwriting your deal- add at least 30% to what you think your rehab will cost (even if this figure came from a GC)- have a really detailed design concept before work starts (including fixtures/trim/color scheme/etc)- check with your city/township's building department and see what permits you need up front- have more than one exit strategy- add a few weeks/months to your projected timeline- purchase cash if at all possible- build relationships, take notes, and learn lessons along the way- have funGood luck! 

So with that in mind, are you willing to make a 5% profit or less on doing this yourself if everything goes perfect?   

Lesson learned pay others to do the time consuming labor.

What is more lucrative in a Midwest or southern market, with  prices in the $300k’s for STR’s, college football or vacation spots and where.
