I started listening to BP podcasts while working on the project, and have since devoured material in every form as I changed from fixing up a house - to building a real estate business.

As long as your credit is good you, if your HELOC rates go up, you should be able to rinse/repeat that "0% balance transfer" option every couple years until the debt is paid off.There are alternatives out there as wellLoan on your 401k or IRALoan on your stock accountDown payment assistance programs that provide all or some of the downpayment money.

A lot of the new construction you are seeing is from the buyer spree in 2021 & 2022 where people were having to pay 160-170k+ for standard row homes in Point Breeze and Grays offered a much cheaper alternative close by.

(After selling a few, I may do another house plan or turn some into rentals)I’m hesitant to build any with materials being so high but I figure if they buy it before it’s built my risk is mitigated.

You could start by investing in a single-family rental property or exploring alternative investment platforms like real estate crowdfunding or REITs.

Cost to replace $20000 BUT it will take months to get the materials, so the cost is $29000.

Alternatively, a reason to go the distance and build it out:A. 

These must be extremely light rehabs, I’m doing what I would consider a very light rehab, with honestly maybe a minor step up from builder grade, 1200 sf, 1 bath house, materials alone are 25k

Upselling: Simply put: our coaching, educational materials, access to teams on the ground, lenders, and daily live webinar calls are all included from the start and there is no conventional “upselling” that is required to receive that value.Secret: I used to think that none of this was “that complicated” as you mentioned, but then when we started FlipSystem I realized just how lost so many newer investors are.

Most of my BRRRRs in the past I had to force appreciation - usually 4-6 month construction, labor, material and holding cost.
