@Katie Camargo I would consider: HELOC or Cash-Out Refinance:Post-closing, the higher appraisal gives you the potential to tap into the equity via a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) or a cash-out refinance.

Typically, I run a current income/expense column next to a ProForma column to show potential value add opporunties.I agree with @Robert. 

By providing an overall guide to the area, potential tenants will realize that there are many things to do and places to go, increasing the desirability of the property.This is a summary of the study.

Younger buyers are still eager to enter the market, and as the economy shifts, there is potential for conditions to become more favorable.

The numbers definitely work if the rehab stays within $100K–$115K and the timeline is 6 months, but with a full gut reno, I want to be realistic about potential delays.

I found a property thru a realtor and as per airDNA it has good potential, but needs good amount of touch up.

I could take on a job that pays a lot better, however, my current job gives me a lot of spare time that I can pour into real estate investing (at least 30 hours a week, potentially more at times).

Because it takes repetition for people to remember things and you have to be top-of-mind when they encounter a potential client for you!

Again, if your $250k is true, and includes all the electrical upgrades, new plumbing runs, potentially new foundation pour (since I assume the existing garage slab is not capable of supporting a new two story house), I am guessing since I don't know the market, but assume you will have a lot of equity by completing the project.

Expand your network, educate potential investors, and leverage social media to increase your reach and influence.
