The duplex with storage building is ideal for a Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat (BRRR) strategy, but requires accurate renovation budgets and tenant management.

Ideally a duplex or triplex ~ live in one and rent the other unit/units.where do I even start?  

.* Northridge Estates: Suburban area with various amenities, ideal for renters.* Walnut Hills: Quiet and community-oriented, great for rental stability.Areas to Approach with Caution:* Columbus: Some sections of Hilltop and Linden due to higher crime rates.* Dayton: Certain parts of West Dayton, which face economic challenges.Focusing on due diligence in these neighborhoods can help you identify stable, cash-flowing opportunities.

Hi @Brian Scott,With your low FHA rate, moving isn’t ideal, so using your current property’s equity could be a great option.

The private lender’s terms supported my timeline and cash flow goals, making it an ideal solution for this type of investment.

I was able to see this with a future depreciation table and compare against the non CS expectations.I'm not sure about recapture, presumably yes this is not ideal and probably exacerbates the current recapture issue. 

Spending that much money and not having an ideal about whats gonna be put in place is not how I do business.If you notice on this draft from the architect.

At the same time, I would speak/interview 3-5 agents and explain what you're looking for in your properties to see if they can keep an eye out for your ideal project.

In an ideal situation, you and your aunt would each pay back your fair share to your grandmother or each other. i.e. each of you share X% of your sale profits to your Grandma OR you and your aunt split the past expenses (taxes, other holding costs, renovation, expenses, etc.) with your grandmother and pay her back. 

Not sure if I follow Ideally we get something that has a good structure but is outdated and needs TLC.
