I think most people wanting to break into investing are finding the current interest rate environment very challenging, but there's no reason not to use creative financing.

Break down the rehab into smaller tasks (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roofing) and try and estimate the costs for each. 

Of course, I make sure my MTR passes the LTR test first, which is that LTR rates must AT LEAST break even the monthly payment or ideally, make $200 per door in profit.

I am looking at $200-220K properties (20% down, 80% mortgage) and just about break even or have upto $50 cash flow.

Everyone finds the rooms too small or something that does not fit their family,etc.I am at the point of breaking even but in a month I will be losing money because of the Hard Money lender payments.

And they love to spray fire extinguishers and throw them and potentially break out windows.
