It's not my area of expertise and believe those who focus on this line of work on a day to day basis will attract buyers and achieve a 2.5-3% better result than if I were to do this on my own.

On top of that, our STR management company now oversees more than 90 listings under the Cozy Co-Host banner.My wife and I have transitioned from the typical 9-to-5 grind to achieving financial freedom as business owners and real estate investors.

While the 1% rule might be difficult to achieve, appreciation and a livable flip might make sense for your goals.Greenville SC: This market has seen significant appreciation and demand over the last few years.

For example, with the numbers you mentioned and at 3 months seasoning, you can get 75% of 250k which would allow you to get all of the purchase and renovation costs after the refinance.If you are looking to get the purchase and renovation costs back within 12 months, you would want to look for a lender/broker that can achieve this with short seasoning period.

If i can invest it and make a significant better return after tax than paying it down I would do that but in this instance you will never be able to achieve returns that match credit card debt.

The buyer does the work themselves or a crew and then achieves close to a 1.5 to 2% rent to sale ratio plus equity upside.Hold each one for a few years and compare the cash flow metrics and equity growth to see where you are at.The nicer area likely over the years will have stronger rent growth.

This would be ideal in terms of cash flow (after a few years) and equity appreciation since you'd be achieving tremendous returns on limited equity in the form of appreciation, principal paydown and tax benefits aside from only cash flow.
