That should always match cosmetically and be the same brand.

Basically, take out an FHA loan for a multi-family, get 20% equity as fast as I can, and then do it again.I would look into buying an owner-occupied cosmetic fixer upper in a great area that will experience steady appreciation and rent growth.

On mostly cosmetic flips, putting together a SOW isn't a challenge. 

We have it listed for $184,900, and it seems like it could work either as a rental or a quick cosmetic flip.ARV: ~$235K based on comps in the areaRental Potential: Estimated rents around $1,700/monthCondition: Cosmetic updates needed but nothing major from what I can see.

Even with today's interest rates, I'm still looking to apply the same strategy:Buy a cosmetic fixer upper with the potential to convert an existing space into an ADU (ex: detached garages) in a great area within <20 mins from a trauma 1 hospital.

Some cosmetic work I am wanting to do first, but fine as it is now. 

Then if you are only looking for cosmetic flips then you limit your targets and increase competition because every wannabe HGTV, realtor, interior designer, contractor, handyman is looking for the same easy flip.Its doable but lots of strategy and organization, hustle.

I will be doing a pretty large renovation in one of the units, and mostly cosmetic reno in another unit, so i'm wondering what the best way to go about dealing with any potential lead issues in this case.
