Repairing/improving to sell.

My home is technically considered a SFR not a duplex.  

Got paid 10k at closing. 35 unit mobile home park.

You can refinance mobile home parks?

I would guess an older home might be more cost to insure?

I don't expect material improvements until 2026 at the earliest. 

We were able to buy home in AZ and living in a rental in Calif.

If you told him you have been playing pickup games for the past year and need help improving your jump shot, now he has evidence you're motivated and a specific goal he can quickly help you work towards.

What makes it slow in this case is that you don't really start seeing real cash flow until after year five but it's more effective than rentals in that there is little to no maintenance.Sure you can live in a home while fixing it up with the intention of selling it for a nice profit later but I think many people are already doing that and the buyers of slow flips now also have that opportunity without having to qualify with a bank.

The only way to improve is through those moments where we fail.
