Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $110,000 A fix-and-flip project purchased off-market from a tired landlord involved buying a distressed property with significant deferred maintenance.

My question is do I go forward with purchasing the property and deal with the higher insurance and potential hazard or is it smarter to walk away?

@James Boreno You’ll likely owe taxes, but don’t forget to account for your adjusted cost basis, which factors in the original purchase price, depreciation over 10 years, and any capital improvements.

Purchase price: $417,500 Cash invested: $37,575 Technically a single family by zoning, though set-up to be a duplex, with 3 beds and 2 baths per unit.

I'd have suggested a down payment assistance program for your first purchase.

Have you guys ever purchased a property without physically seeing it?

I currently own one property, and I’m planning to purchase another.

I'm looking at monthly cost to seller vs. anticipated rental income, purchase price relevant to the ARV of the area and interest rate, balloon, etc.

I have used HELOCs for probably most of the purchases of the properties I own.
