With no comps in the area for new construction and the highest rehab selling for 205k, building enough at the onset, 4-6 new construction homes, may be the only way to start a neighborhood turn.The city is looking to increase density in the area and add anchor points in near the area to cater to future investment. 

I can learn from this group and allows me to have a possibility to have a better future.

Hope to connect sometime in the future! 

It could cost you dearly in the future.

Wishing you the best and hope we can connect in the future. 

I apologized and said (and truly meant) I'd follow up on it and improve for the future.

Will you look to upgrade the property and then refi in the future?

Another common problem is poor due diligence—jumping into deals without verifying the borrower or collateral often leads to future regrets.I’ve also seen over-leveraged borrowers cause trouble, prioritizing other creditors over private lenders.

Both properties have a substantial amount of equity that’s essentially sitting idle.Would it be a good idea to tap into this equity (through a HELOC, cash-out refinance, etc.) to fund future fix-and-flip projects or purchase additional rental properties?

I think your future self will thank you for doing that.Perhaps take out an equity line of credit in case you need it and using a property manager.
