Just trying to figure out which model makes more financial sense. 

The only other option would have been to rent it as a STR and for us personally that doesn't fit our current business model and we don't want to do it. 

We have a solid Business Plan, as well as a pretty good Business Model.

If you understand there business model then it will be easier to figure out how to find the deals.  

If you have a source that could show me a constructed model, that would be great as well. 

In short, he's headed places so he could be a good dude to model after.Secondly, check out the Bigger Pockets Money podcast.  

I am quite excited and motivated to get to my first few wholesale deals out of the way in order provide enough capital to move into a more burr focused model which may include rental units before executing on that final "r". 

I think that model with the least amount of risk right now is buy in a good school area (7 or 8), 20-30K in rehab and rent it out for 1-2 years while the market appreciates. 

It's a business model for thousands of small-time property managers the gurus always fail to mention when they hype the benefits of running rental properties far from home.

I’ve seen some interior remodel apps that look incredibly helpful and have looked at the touch screen models too.
