A good amount of plumbing had been replaced and I didn't need to rough anything.

Demo complete, rough in complete and passed, drywall, etc).

@Josh GregoryCorrect - and roughly 15 sell a month.

@Stephen Stone I have a property in Oak Cliff that I am beginning a rehab for rental on and another one that is pretty rough and has been vacant for a while that I am about to start at the same time.  

my partner and I own 300 units in MA and RI and roughly 100+ in Worcester.

trying to find a 4-8plex that cashflows more than 1000 is rough. and to make it not a section 8 is even harder it seems

@Kyle Lam, as Jaron noted: do a flip, see what it costs, use that as basis for next one, repeat.At the end of the day, John has provided some really rough numbers, but these are renovations.  

@Jeff Fortuna@Dan Rowley   @John McKee - I'm receiving roughly 7% CoC returns for my two investments, with projections those will rise in future as they are able to realize contractual rent increases.
