Hi @Garrett CasteleynHouse hacking can be incredibly rewarding!

Any legit lender has to disclose a document call the CHARM Booklet within 3 days after application to anyone moving forward with an ARM loan.  

So essentially in 90% of cases you increase your costs and risk for no increased reward.

We've also done some random very low cost, with potential reward things like paying for flyer-space under a local diner's glass tables. 

Coordinating that communication and anticipating potential problems, a good experienced TC may get you by but now we're getting into the zone of high risk going agentless for the limited reward of saving 6% commission. 

Re-plumbing is something you won't want to wing but you can't hire out what you can't pay to have completed.Sometimes we have to catch-up to the opportunity...repair and build your financial health - and then reward yourself by starting this new business.Just one opinion...you'll get a lot of others to weigh in!

I agree, renovated historic properties have a certain charm to them and definitely has it's own niche to be profitable.

You will need to make a manufactured home appear charming, unique, and easy to roll up and relax.

You need to bring value to the table, and when you do that's when you will be rewarded with profit.

There is more risk and time spent in flips but also more reward.
