I rarely charge a full 6% but I am often working with homes that resell north of 500k.

What this means is that it cannot be a fix n flip where your intent is primarily to resell.

cost to sell are going to be 10 to 15% minimum to plug into TK resellers pipe lines.. have you run the numbers  lets say purchase rehab is:PP 70krehab  30k  pretty average in that age class assets in Cleveland ( keep in mind I funded over 300 deals in Cleveland personally in the last few years so I do have some experience in that market).So 100k all in.Cost of capital  2 points 12%  plus your going to need at least 30k in cash to pull this off. lets say your super good at what you do and can do it all in 6 months.2 points   2k  12k  6 months  6k   for total of 8k  HML will hit you with another 2k to 3k in junk fees so thats really 10k in borrower costs.tAx's  lets say 1k for 6 months.Closing costs when ou buy 1,500 to 2kClsoing costs including commish and seller concessions and title and escrow at least 10% Utls and insurance  1500.0010k profit So that all adds up to an exit sales price that needs to be at least 124,500 hard costs and now you need to sell for 130k to 140k to make your profit. and given where investor want to be they want 1% rule or .08   so use 1% for easy math they want that house to rent for 1300 to 1400. 

If I purchased a flip deal in Atlanta, I might assume a 20% worst case correction, but that's because I'd plan to resell in the next 3-4 months. 

Of course, its your property.Are you looking to resell the Note? 

We are looking to add solar panels to our primary home, I’m curious to know about when one goes to resell their home if this adds value and if anyone can speak to an average on how much?

Tons of free information online on how to do this, what to look for in land, where to buy it and then resell it.

I'd recommend reading the ones that specialize in the area you want to focus on (i.e. buy and hold, mobile home park investing, buy and resell, etc). 

If the properties are truly bargains then buy them and resell them at a profit.

Aussie guys hooking up with Bad US guys and .. they were buying props for 10 to 20 then reselling them for 80 to 120k all in the worst areas of the US..
