There are some flexible financing programs available for first time homebuyers. 

A large benefit of M2M is flexibility and easy termination.

If you're going down to the studs in the bathroom already, tearing out the window trim/stool/apron is probably the best bet.  

You never know when and how much, but it is good to be flexible and resilient and keep it all in perspective.

Sorry to not offer a connection, but for this one I think your best bet is to find the "land specialist" realtor in the area and get a CMA.If you want an extremely precise number hiring an appraiser is most likely the move. 

I'd bet that you'll be able to refinance within those two years and your returns will look better.

And the neighborhood is even more critical as he said.I'd bet even a veteran Contr like Mr Paul would hesitate before giving a rehab $$ number based on a video alone.It will take you years of actual doing before you could even get a number from a walk-through.

This approach allows for more flexibility in managing tenant relationships.

Leverage also offers flexibility.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.
