You've shared so many gems and described a realistic depiction of purchasing an investment property. 

I ask to take a walk through and document the current condition as my agreement states they can not damage the property during this process. and of course don't give them anything until you have walked through verified they are out and have voluntarily handed over keys. 

It depends. all you talked about was the property but financing is more about the borrower, their experience, their credit, the cash available etc.

Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $110,000 Purchased off-market from a tired landlord, this fix-and-flip involved renovating a distressed property with outdated features and deferred maintenance.

This also added AC to the property which it didn’t have before. 

Can anyone recommend a good property manager that covers Modesto, CA? 

I have recently just purchased my 4th investment property all in my name and have accumulated a DTI of 45.9%.

The reason I post this here is because I got totally different answers from two CPAsHere is the story:I bought the house as investment property and run it as STR for the last two years.

If not I wouldn't bother selling as there is an incredible amount of money lost in buying and selling properties, so you have to make sure you have a plan to maximize the equity and actually have enough. 

Look for distressed properties or FSBO signs.
