The place where you can add value with no money is a situation like: you find project A, it is a 120k purchase and it should need 80k rehab but you can get rehab done for 65k cause you can do some of the work and you know how to save on materials and you can manage the rehab. 

If you are getting a good deal on a place and it is just a regular-style house, I would run numbers compared to AirDNA and Mashvisor's estimated revenue.

Short term, leaving financing in place during rehab prior to resale — great strategy with limited risk to either party. 

I’ve seen this being done in only a couple of places over the years.

Quote from @Alex Spivey: I want to start renting as soon as I can so does anyone have adviceYou want to find a place to rent and occupy, or you want to buy an investment that you can rent to others?

It will be on you to reach out to these folks to see if you would be a good match for what they need.It is *not* a site where people can just put in their travel dates and find, book and pay for a place to stay without interacting with a human.

Their solution was for me to take over ownership of not one but five homes from Jeff's portfolio, all of which I had sold him and subsequently leased.Despite my being patently unfinanceable, the bank president placed a bet on me because I knew the homes, I knew the tenants, I knew what I was doing, and I was rabidly hungry.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

You need a place to live.

Definitely the best place to meet like-minded investors!
