That’s gold in this business!

I'd be looking at multiple structures. we try to build below the average new build cost in our market in Columbus Ohio which is 515,000 last year and we target land 40-50k and urban core adjacent where we get higher price per square foot. we build for clients with margin around $190 a sq ft depending on multi or single. we can get that down in our triplex it's a little higher on our single family homes because of garages and limited economies of scale. hope that helps. idk Philly but if you show me the area and styles of homes I can give you some more insights. 

If you want to be in the short or mid term rental business, I would go and try to learn about how to run those kinds of rentals because its a completely different kind of business than long term rentals.

I have even seen it in selling businesses. 

The marketing/advertising firm, aka RE broker, is not the expert in building codes, zoning, structural engineering, neighborhood safety, etc.As a prudent investor, always do your own due diligence or you'll end up being (unitentionally) misguided by a RE broker's information.  

For instance, structuring investments through a European company that acts as the buyer of the properties and handles renovations could be an effective solution.

I had two lines of credit one unsecured for 5 million ( check book) and another for 10 million that we would secure them up with .. but you need time to do that bank required appraisal etc before we could tag the secured line and even at that they only lent 72% in these commercial loan structures..

Although I don’t have experience in house flipping yet, I’ve successfully run a construction business back home.Due to the war, my family and I had to search for a new place to live.

To avoid issues, hold the property in the trust for a year, ensure the LLC is properly structured, and consult a CPA or 1031 exchange expert to confirm compliance with state and federal tax laws.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I want enough money coming in so the business can sustain itself when issues occur with maintenance or vacancy.If you wanted to do this with only 20% down ($46,000), which is all you need for a conventional loan, here is how the calculations change.Total mortgage + escrow $1,493.33 per month with cashflow reduced to $306.67 per month.I prefer to overestimate purchase price, interest rates, and homeowners’ insurance to be conservative.
