Its centrally located to the other units, and it would be the perfect size for an laundry area.  

As long as your credit score is decent and there's no bankruptcies or defaults or felonies in your b.g. then Hard Money is perfect for you to help you scale, especially if you want to buy low, rehab it, and then refi out at a much higher value.That would require a bridge loan with rehab and then refi into a DSCR 30 year loan. 

His pivot towards new construction might seem surprising at first, but it aligns perfectly with his principles.

Fix n flips and new construction where your intent is primarily to resell do not qualify for 1031 treatment.There is no statutory holding period although most folks feel that anything more than a year is perfectly fine. 

When advising clients in similar situations, I've emphasized the importance of not striving for perfection but rather advancing through each stage of the journey.

We use a Sherwin-Williams color on everything these days (Shoji White) and I can get them to mix up a can for touch up 5 years later and it blends perfectly. 

Far from a perfect science but the more data the better!

If I ever let a tenant make a change at their cost (very rare that I do), its made perfectly clear that they will not be reimbursed for it EVER.

I'm not one to plug my business and there is enough good, bad and ugly online for all to see.You will find many "real world" reviews on both Ohio Cashflow and Oz Realty via a Google search.Not perfect by any means and we make mistakes.Honest mistakes that we do our best to rectify.Standing the test of time in a real estate niche called turnkey that has been scared by many shady operators speaks for itself IMO.I will say this, investors buying sub $100,000 properties and only owning 1 or 2 and expecting miracles are usually unsatisfied.Sub $100,000 requires volume to work and for a decent long term return to be realized.Our price points are $70,000 - $100,000 and rent's are from $750 - $1,100pm2bed, 1bath and 3 bed, 1 bath is our bread and butter.Sometimes 4 bed, 1 bath and rarely 4 bed, 2 bath or 3 bed, 2 bath.The odd duplex from time to time and the odd 4 unit or 6 unit but those are rare.B class areas mostly.Sometimes B- and C class on occasion which we will stress clearly in any deal pro-forma along with the pro's and con's.Also, those that get their panties in a tangle and decide to leave the wing of Ohio Cashflow, we can't help much anymore as it get's messy and muddy so we have to politely bow out from any continued engagement. 

I would say there is no perfect investment however it definitely has to make sense and feel right.
