If you can focus more on that, then the bottom line profit you will be light years ahead of most flippers. 

this is where the deals are .Ones that can bite you though are higher end homes where the previous owner strips them takes every cabinet every door every light fixture basically deconstructs the inside of the houseAnd this is how rental property will look over time in many C D markets just beat to holly heck.It's really surprising (when you first start out) how people can abuse a house and what they will actually live in....It's usually either substance abuse or just a bit nuts....or the worst is when it's both.....We should get all the veteran investors on here together and write a book. 

After the first go for one with a light rehab.   

Now leased to market, under 4% vacancy/bad debt, and RUBS implementation.

No foreclosure or court action required.3.You might also consider depending on where it is, no electrical or lighted signs if that might be a consideration to you. 

Buy a house that needs cosmetic work, kitchen, bath, flooring, paint, lights etc and fix it up yourself while living in it for a year.

I would advise you on the DSCR loan to implement/request a low duration prepayment penalty (i.e 3 years - 1 yr PPP).

The easiest way is to do a BRRRR on light-value add properties.

Keep sharing stories, it helps people like me that find it hard to see the light at the end off the tunnel.  

I gutted it and added new drywall, new light fixtures, new bathrooms, new paint, new kitchen, new furniture and new flooring and new windows.
