I started a martial arts school almost 26 years ago.   

Hi, I ran across Art Veal who is selling a retail wholesaling course that he calls Quick Turn Real Estate.

Learn everything from the nitty-gritty of creating a comprehensive budget and selecting the right contractors to the art of effectively managing renovations.

I think its a bit of both art and science, as well as availability. 

It's pointless→ I want to evaluate how the property is performing NOW→ Where it COULD BE performing→ And WHAT it will take to get there.This involves (at a minimum) checking comps, creating a 5 year proforma, verifying taxes & insurance, and making assumptions about the business plan.You can't determine if a deal is a pass/go simply from NOI / Cap Rate.The art of underwriting involves finding value where others miss.If you're passing on deals just from dividing the in-place NOI by a cap rate, send those over here!

Finding off-market deals is part art and part science, but basically be prepared to knock on doors, advertise, or call a lot of people.

i do think as others have said you'd need both the housing AND a support structure.one thing i thought of in response to your idea is the model Scott Jelinek uses:https://www.amazon.com/Art-SlowFlip-Scott-Jelinek-ebook/dp/B...i am not affiliated with Scott, have nothing do with him, and am not recommending this. 

Since starting my journey in real estate in 2022, I've dedicated myself to mastering the art of house flipping, and I'm now looking to scale my efforts through a partnership that combines my on-the-ground expertise with your financial backing.Who I Am:A passionate and driven real estate investor based in Atlanta, I dove into the world of house flipping in 2022.

I've helped many of them, including one N California investor who purchased 8 rental properties here.You mention house-hacking...will you be using the home as a second home part of the year or do you plan to rent it out on a long-term basis.If you plan to get a loan, I would recommend contacting BP member @Art Shalomov, who is also a lender.
