Quick question...If the house owners (My parents), renovate (With our money), and they do a cash out refinance, will the ARV stay the same when the buyer attains the house? 

My goal is a blend of both, although it seems like the property appreciation is the more likely option for me, seeing that my analysis is showing that positive cash flow is not going to be attainable (initially), but that should change as rental prices trend upwards.Do you do a lot of the repairs yourself, or do you hire out the work?

Just make sure they’re a licensed PE and have ample experience in the industry.In terms of what to ask them when evaluating the foundation, I’d ask them for an inspection of the integrity of it and let them point out anything they see.Have only had to deal with one once, I recommend getting a basement contractors second opinion as well, maybe a realtor too because it could affect the resale value if there’s 12 Ibeams laid out in a disorderly fashion.

I want to ensure that I have ample capital to buy my property in May (via FHA) + rehab it but I'm worried that I may be overspending on this.Sidenote: I initially considered buying a car that was big enough to accommodate for rehab projects that may require me to shuttle things that are too big for a sedan +  just regular errands.

We used a hard money broker that we had used previously to secure a purchase loan with a low payment albeit higher than I would like interest rate for a few years providing ample time to refinance.How did you add value to the deal?

Naturally my sights go to wholesaling, as the prerequisites are attainable within my allotted window.

Many markets are too hot to touch right now.Buying a low cap market with little cash flow is for the people that have cash (financial freedom) they need to "not lose" because these properties are safe.If you are seeking to attain financial freedom, cash flow is the key. 

Take advantage of having a lump sum of cash because most loans require 25% down for a MFH. 20% down on a SFH is much more attainable in the future.
