It's all about balance and attention to detail, from the big-ticket items like kitchens and bathrooms to the smaller aspects like layout and functionality.Your example from "Flip or Flop" is spot on—what works in one market doesn't necessarily translate to another, and understanding those nuances is key.

lesson learned is always listen to your guts and dont apoy to much attention to the oether even if they are experts in the area.

I also estimate that, after accounting for a 10% vacancy, I could rent the property for about $1,800 per month.Even with that ($400) cash flow, I still feel like I’d be better off than where I am now, between the experience I’d gain, the equity I’d build, and the appreciation and tax benefits.

I would love for everyone to suggest some good books to help me gain knowledge from a beginner standpoint.

However, navigating the legal and financial complexities of Subto deals requires careful attention, so I’d recommend working with a real estate attorney to ensure everything is structured correctly.Securing private money for the closing is a smart move, but ensure your terms allow for flexibility in case of unexpected repairs or delays in cash flow.
