Over the past year and a half I've been trying to put in as much Sweat equity as the budget will allow for, After hearing the podcast when Brandon and David Dug deep into BRRR investing I've been fascinated with this investing strategy and got really motivated after that episode too hurry and finish the remodel so i can either cash out refi or pull out a heloc i just wanted to show this Amazing community what progress i have done on this house and get your opinions. the remodel is about 75% done still have 3 bedrooms to finish.also i was curious what is the best option to do after the cash out refi, should i go and put 20% down on a couple single family homes or multi and get a loan from bank or use all my Cash out money to Fund a deal or use the cash out money to Fund a couple down payments?

I find the potential implications fascinating and would love to see how the data starts shaking out in a couple more years.

Someone I know recently told me they were trying to get into IT and they are currently in school for computer science.

(I've tried them all and think they're all garbage, frankly)  Learn what you need to communicate with your guests and when, have it down to a science, THEN automate it.  

@John Corey, @Andy Mirza, @Gil Ganz and @Martin Saenz - Very interesting insights.I think that my personal opinion is a merge of all.Focus on what you do best is important, but in parallel always keep your investments bucket diversified.Few months ago I saw one of Tony Robbins fascinating lectures and he gave an example of a well known business man who went up all the way to wealth of few hundreds of M of $, lost all and came back all the way up, and when asked him what did he learn out of it his main lesson was about the important of diversify your investments and not focus only on one segment.

It's not exact science by any means, as every deal is different.

The thing is,  even paid for appraisals, which pull comps of surrounding recently sold houses is not an exact science.  

It’s not rocket science, you can learn this easy enough.What’s the worst that can happen?

The crime index is two and a half times the national average...Franklinton has 9 block groups...SFR's are selling for $15.90 sq. ft. and mutifamilies are selling for $13,583 per unit in some areas.These are not good metric on any level...Columbus is a fascinating city...the transition has been fun to watch.

Posting for the first time on Bigger Pockets.Do not know if this is even the right forum...Background is not in real estate but in Data Analytics/Data Science - analyzing and determining patterns in large data sets (millions of rows of complex data).Interested in initially researching before actually investing.Really would like to determine the type of data that I should review to quickly determine if the local market has potential or not.
