agree .. other wise its just the bottom feeders looking to take his equity from him  with couching it as a rescue.. his best bet it to sell if its owner occ the profit is tax free .. regroup and start over.. 

It outlines profit and losses from rental real estate.

@Nate McCarthyProfit Splits and Contributions:Dividing profits proportionally to investment (2:1:1) is common, but you could also account for sweat equity if one party is doing more work.

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

But secondly, we already build our profits into the deals and we made probably 160k among those 3 properties over a 3 year period of time with very little effort to manage once the tenant buyers were placed into the home.So yes, it is possible to make lease options very beneficial to everyone.YUP timing is important..

Our plan is to purchase again with a better mindset of turning that into a profitable rental.We have diligently completed all the necessary steps and are on the verge of signing a management agreement with a property manager.However, we are experiencing some doubts.  1.

This means it can be very profitable if you buy at the right time, but can be brutal if you buy at a peak.

I am in Florida and we have a strong STR market and most of my buyers bought at high rates and using AirDNA we were pretty spot on for the numbers and we were successful in being profitable.  

@Derick Jennings House hacking is the easiest way to start and the best way to be profitable with low risk in Colorado @Koren Lavi can help you in the Denver area!

.: I am trying to learn and understand... someone told me that its not just size of the home or level of the flip that determines profit, and that in some markets, what is considered a typical profit is 300k based on the 70% ARV formula.
