I am also curious how folks are dealing with appraisals as appraisers don't view these properties as duplexes and I've heard of investors having issues with cash out refinances not hitting their target values where had the home been designated a duplex (lets say in a two detached property scenario) it would have easily appraised in their target value. 

Look into Baselane it’s designed specifically for real estate investors, You get automated rent collection, expense tracking, it makes it easier to manage properties, stay organized, and keep up with your finances. 

Hello everyone,I am from Alexandria, VA located at the border of Washington DC and Prince George County, MD working for a kitchen and bath remodeling company since 2017 known as European Granite Design that also fabricates granite, quartz, marble and quartzite countertops since 2003.I'm experienced Sales and project manager also designs kitchens & bathrooms for remodeling.Using my expertise and connections I want to start working for myself flipping old condos or houses in the Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia (DMV) area.

It took new construction costs from $800-2500 down to $325 / SF and instead of 2 years it can be done in 8-12 months (design, permits, fabrication, shipping, and erection) depending on how much homeowners customized the standard plans. 

Had an issue with trying to self-permit a build a few years back that was an HPR but had an "A" and "B" designation.

The S8 program was never designed to put S8 tenants in Class A rentals!

I interviewed another Syndication and appreciated the fact they said 1) They never lost any of their investors money 2) They aren't currently entertaining deals until they are more solid on the market's direction.  3) their Exits are designed much shorter than ODCs.  

Talking about poor children and the such is just designed to make me feel bad.

It sounds like an incredible resource, for $200 having a fully designed materials and fixtures schedule to pair with a labor only GC or a GC that can work well with a prescriptive materials schedule. https://ivoryhome.co/predesigned-packages/Just curious how other people’s experience has been.

While I haven't done new construction as an investor, I've been involved with them on the design and construction side. $15-$20,000 seems like a very small profit on a $500,000 house.
