Quote from @Roger Flot: I was reviewing some renovated listings in my area and one indicated that even though the house was originally built in 1920, because of all the renovations bringing the house to current code, that you could get 2024 rates on insurance. 

This would let you rent out the house for the next 3 years if you wanted and still get to take the gain.  

Since house flipping has become so popular over the past few years, it's never been more critical to give your projects that extra *POP* that homebuyers will notice as they're swiping through Zillow. 

Hey @Max Smetiouk, so we have a pretty rural lake house.

That being said, if you're 23 and you don't own a home, I really do recommend starting with a house hack as you don't need the 25% down capital to get started and you kill 2 birds with one stone by getting a rental and having a roof over your head. 

I'm a house hacker too, message me if you want to connect 

Suggesting to them buying their house for a wholesale range offer or lower dependent on the extent of the rehab, then having a contract in place that gives them a percentage of the profit to help get them back on their feet, paying off debts etc.

I have seen this same house that is vacant (all the classic signs) I have located the owner ( I have not reached out to her yet).

Attend your local REI meet-ups and try to find someone who is currently house-hacking or has house-hacked in the past to learn from their experience.

It’s like a scene out of a zombie movie as these people stagger down the middle of the street to the liquor store on the corner past my house.
