I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether this approach makes sense or if there are other strategies you’d recommend to optimize profitability.Thanks in advance for your advice! 

Thanks for the reply, what you said makes perfect sense.

I am sorry but this makes absolutely no sense.....Also, any builder who has to be paid every week is a huge red flag.

Should I be budgeting significantly more sense people are in and out of the property versus them living in a long time? 

"I have a very simple criteria for when an area is gentrifying as opposed to just generally improving: If it makes economic sense to buy (at market price) and tear down an existing structure in order to build and immediately sell a new building, then the area is gentrifying.

It just doesn’t make sense to me.

Makes complete sense to purchase a property that breaks even or loses money.

We are still doing a ton of fix and flip loans there and the numbers make sense for the banks.

If so, it would make sense to figure that out first before deciding on a specific area.

If so, youll want to do the calculations if it makes sense to immediately refinance or wait the year until the penalty goes away.
