Quote from @David Cherkowsky: Hi All,I purchased an investment property in the middle of last year and to this point have been using 0.75*lease value in my DTI calculation.

Purchase price: $360,000 Sale price: $570,000 Sold my first house hack because my return on equity was too low for my risk tolerance.

Purchase price: $237,000 Cash invested: $11,850 Converted my primary residence to a Cash-Flowing Rental Property to a Section 8 Long-Term Tenant in a Class B neighborhood.Purchase in Sept 2019 Purchase price: $237,000Cash invested: $8,900Converted the Game room and Office room to a standard bedroom to make it a 6-bedroom 3.5 bath which increased the monthly rent from $2,400 to $3,215.

Purchase price: $672,000 I bought a primary home with a 5.1% rate.

Purchase price: $360,000 Cash invested: $75,000 3b2b made into a 4b2b.

If you can get through this rough patch and the #s work, you could see your property's value double from the original purchase price in a few years.Lastly, I'd check out the Sell vs.

Taking that first step is huge, and it sounds like you're already thinking strategically about scaling.If you're looking to minimize out-of-pocket expenses and maximize leverage, you might want to check out Avalon Capital’s 100% purchase & 100% rehab hard money loan.

I would recommend sitting down with an attorney so they can outline what the process will be like and their rent for closing the selling and what documents they'll need from you (if any because they can draft them).if you decide to sell to a residential buyer, make sure you're confirming that they are able to finance it or that they have cash to purchase it.
