Never bet on a loan before you have it without a healthy margin. 

I bet you anything you can find $500 or more in your budget out of wasteful spending.

So for most typical 1031 exchange property this will not work.Example: Sell stock for $500k capital gain, contribute that into a Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund (QOZ Fund) and then either build a new apartment building or buy one for $250k for example and put $250k of renovations into it.Best bet might be new construction if you want real estate.

If you are going with a traditional bank, your best bet is a smaller regional bank. 

And you can bet that whatever you end up paying for the property will be what the new valuation will be the following year unless its lower than the current value in which case you need to protest.

You could call a local appraiser and ask how he or she would approach such a property, which would probably be your best bet.

I have seen a bunch in Dorchester, I have also seen in other places like Malden a half a mile to the train - seems like a good bet?

Best bet is to probably go with companies that most investors around here use.

It is your best bet to find other like minded BRRRR investors.

I bet they hated me.
