I think the before vs after pictures really speak primarily to your experience and ability to execute a project so it can help lenders gain comfort with future projects and allow you demonstrate what level of detail you except out of your contractors.

We already paid them a pretty sizeable entry fee ($30k) to cover some of their equity and debt in another project.

Currently I work as a Project Supervisor, we do rehab in multi-family units.

This generated $2M+ in equity, and thus is highly lucrative, but takes 2-3 years.Note worthy: I am located in California, but I did this project in Canada.

I'd love to bid on the project and see if we can work something out on the remodel.

I have not explored 1031 exchange but given current interest rates may be tough to find a cash flowing deal elsewhere.

Short term is always tough but not impossible at all especially with the high level of education and good hospitals in MA.

We are only selling completed homes with our own in house financing currently at 3.75%, a huge discount from most bank rates.We are a long time property provider for some of the bigger podcasters: Real Estate Guys Radio, Marco Santorelli (Norada), Kathy Fetke (RWN) Jason Hartman ( Empowerd Investor) GRE (Keith Weinhold), Whitecoat Investor Group and more We also work with American Homes for Rent, Invitation Homes, Crescent, Haven Realty (JP Morgan) to name a few on the institutional side We are partially owned as of 2022 by Sumitomom Forestry, which means we have no bank debt and self fund all our building projects.

There is no requirement to use them as mentors for doing the rehab projects as described in the horror story above, but they do their own underwriting so they will be investing themselves to assure the deal makes sense and is successful to assure they get their payments and interest. 

In my market every PM would charge more than your projected $350/month (which I already indicated is not reality) to manage two average size units in a duplex.This does not mean cash flow does not exist.
