Have walked him through the financials and the numbers are to big for him to comprehend.

For costs, if you're an investor, you can probably do a video walk through to get a ballpark estimate on rehab.

But if value is based on STR walk away. 

This has probably been the one thing that has helped me scale my portfolio so much and so quickly within the past 6 years.So the things that I would bring to the table that a new investor wouldn’t have access to (at least at the beginning until they build their own systems and networks) would be my knowledge and streamlining of getting financing, having deal flow, using vetted and skilled subcontractors, discounted prices on materials, systems in place to find tenant buyers, and streamlined refinancing and management in placeIt is similar to turnkey, only you don’t have to put 25% down and you walk into equity and the exit is already planed and the tenant buyer gets connected with a lender upfront to help them get ready to exercise in the option within 3 years.So that is what makes this different than other models.

"What if" did groupings of these clusters in horse-shoe, so 3 4/6 plexs with walk-out to shared central courtyard. 

Window handles broken were called out during that walk through.

@John Lee I probably need to walk some of that back.

The thing that the gurus never tell anyone is that the majority of creative finance deals are done by investors who don't need creative financing, that is their leverage and why they can walk away, thereby making them more attractive then the one person who can only do the deal one way because they have no money of their own.

Finding some sort of value-add aspect or buying at a discount means you either create or walk into equity, which protects you.

Got a new PM who made us fix things and walked it with me(first time for me seeing the property), then we finally paid off all but the mortgage and now we cash flow about $400/month.
