She’s currently not paying rent, and while she has some health issues and no stable income, she’s been communicative and open to general talks, with a possible option to vacate through a cash-for-keys arrangement, though this might take around six weeks and some hard work.I plan to rehab the property and eventually rent it out, potentially to a Section 8 tenant.

This 2 to 1 ratio is required because 1) they are work and my time deserves to be highly compensated. 2) big rehabs have some risk.

If you want to message me your email address, I would be more than happy to send you what I have. 

You definitely want to use a thorough screening method like rentprep.com that gets their income, credit, background check, and call at least 3 references (make sure to verify them by address/job and then their name).  

Are you looking to just put the money to work or looking to be personally involved in getting, rehabbing, and dispo of deals?

Rehabbing the center row house and getting people to reside there helps all.

Going to put together a scope of work for the rehab sometime next week.

My question is when it comes to analyzing properties that are below market value how can you predict what the market value will be after the rehab?

If cash flow is your priority, out-of-state investing in landlord-friendly, high-yield markets (Texas, Tennessee, Indiana, Georgia) is your best bet—use the HELOC for down payments and rehabs.

Nice try, but this time does not count.In order to meet 750 hours, your wife will need one of the below:- do something else real estate related, like wholesaling or realtor- actively work on expanding your rental portfolio - have an extensive DIY rehab, like a month-long full-time rehab (and then she might need another kind of rehab)- a calamity such as multiple properties damaged in a storm where she will have to deal with insurers and contractors- something else out of the ordinaryAgain - if all you have is 9 single-family properties with stable tenants and typical occasional maintenance - you don't have enough work to collect 750 hours.
