@Tayvion Payton I have managed many properties in neighborhoods like this.

I doubt after factoring all of the expenses/reserves you'd be at $1100 per month in Net Cash Flow but still way ahead of the expenses nonetheless.We have a duplex bringing in $2800 per month-expenses $1253-debt- $740(P/I) and netting us $807. 

We plan on starting renovations on the unit in X (I would say a date but in reality have a 2-3 month buffer), and based on this we are no longer going to be renting the unit out.

I believe interest is tax-deductible if used for property improvements or purchases, and it gives you quick access to funds while keeping your stock portfolio intact.Private Money Loan: If you have a trusted partner and terms that work well for both parties, this could be an efficient solution without tapping into your other assets.

Quote from @Morgan Leiviska: How I would build this database for you would be to connect with people at local meetups that you find.

If the Investor does not disclose to the seller how this process works and the Bank calls them yes you will have a mess and may be hard to undo.
