I have skills and experience in A lot of construction and remodeling.

My short term goal is to find one nice frame house (low cost) to live in that I can remodel the kitchen, basement and attic and add one or two bathrooms that has at least there bed room, then refinance, then later add an addition to with a composite deck.  

Just seeing the residential construction or  remodeling process could be valuable down the road.

One of the units was remodeled 3 years ago.Gross Rent: $3,900 ($1,300 each) Market rents in the area are $1,600.All 3 units are currently rented out to solid tenants who pay on time each month.

I am currently employed in the home remodeling industry and I am also interested in doing some flipping.

I'm a Kitchen & Bath Designer and have remodeled a bunch of kitchens and baths, so I'm hoping that experience will help make my flips, and rental properties, more competitive in the marketplace.

Otherwise, it is because the house is a foreclosure and the bank just wants out; the house is beat all to hell and needs remodeled; the neighborhood is declining or already a war zone; the city is going to build a nuclear amusement park next door; ETC. 

My hope is to get into rehabbing, as I have lots of construction and remodeling experience.

Want to put 100k into hew home, and it will appraise for 900k all day.  225k out of House # 1.  225k out of House # 2.  350k goes towards down on New House, plus 100k toward remodel.  

It looks like a great remodel though!
