If you were to buy a $200k fixer-upper, how much are you expecting to have in rehab costs?

I'm in a trendier up and coming area so the upper unit fills quickly and I've seen my property value jump quite a bit in the last 2 years.

All for a fixer upper, that I'll have to move into, that will eventually cash flow a whopping $200 per month for probably a 2% CoC when I move out.

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

It was, and it especially makes it harder when it's in a competitive market like San Diego where the Seller has the upper hand

My wife and I don't want to follow the scale up construction company model (we already did and it wasn't the best).We do a lot of labor on our projects and are looking in to the future and realizing our bodies will not hold out over time.

Mililani is a really good market, so getting a fixer upper property at a low end will be harder.

I would then plan to use this forced equity (since I plan to buy a fixer upper) to invest in another home.I have been constantly reading to househack right into the MFH, but this may take some time for me to acquire the money and purchasing power.

I invest in mid to upper-income areas where good credit scores and high earners aren't hard to find. 

They buy homes in upper middle class to lower upper class neighborhoods which represent solid appreciation potential and reasonable upkeep/taxes/insurance expenses.
