-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Hi, i have a handful of properties that i have purchased over the past several years as passive investments.

My metrics were to be all in purchase and renovation at or below 80% ARV. 

It may make sense for the right purchaser to repair.

Flipping a brand new home likely wouldn’t bring much profit - especially after having to close twice when you first buy it, and later sell it.Maybe you have millions to spend and I’m just missing the big picture… but when I think of “income” I’m usually thinking “net income” after you factor in expenses, like purchase price or building costs?  

That said, I do this with a a few investors on rentals since I'm a Realtor and Property Manager where I am boots on the ground for purchase, rehab and lease-up, however we had a strong professional experience/life together before partnering.Lending will also be a consideration as most lenders are hesitant to lend to non-citizens given the foreclosure challenges it can pose.

Purchase price: $150,000 In the process of buying 1.21 acres in Isabela, Puerto Rico.

- You can buy using FHA 203(k) loan which allows you to finance repairs into the purchase mortgage.If you find you like being a landlord, you can BRRRR a property every year.You can also start BRRRing rentals w/o planning to live in them.

Hi Kyle.With the right purchase, any market is a good market.
