I am trying to see if it makes financial and/or market sense to rehab them and possibly rent them out or just leave them as-is.

@Craig Bowman Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.

Financially, the numbers make sense, but I need to have a proper inspection since this is my first home (and I'm going unrepresented) and the house is built in 1915 with some renovations that were clearly done by the investor selling the property rather than a professional.Question: Although  previous owner has owned the property for 3 years and rented to tenants previously, should I be concerned that the legal zoning is only for SFH?

I have been in non profit for 13 years and Im seeking financial freedom and ways to help others do the same.

And, even if you do find a seller, you're looking at a minimum of 6-12 months of due diligence and financial review.Plus, the new owner is likely going to want you both to stay on for a least a little while after the sale!

Discuss COC return, run a financial analysis for him and a performance chart showing the ROR after multiple properties have been acquired and cashed-out... good luck.

Welcome to the BP community—it sounds like you're on an exciting path toward financial independence!

Scaling a real estate fix-and-flip business can be a complex endeavor, but partnering with an earnest money lending partner can provide the financial support necessary for rapid growth.

And while you may be experiencing worse than average issues here, if you can stem the tide for the time being financial you will come out of the other side learning a lot and you will be ok.
