@Gladys Villa we chose to buy a fixer-upper in a great neighborhood, live in it for 2 years while renovating, sell with the tax exemption (now up to $500,000 profit tax free), then repeat until our kids needed more stability for schools.

Finally (after 7 years of reading books, research, podcasts etc) jumped off the cliff and bought a major fixer upper for very little money.

The most popular way to speed up your real estate growth is to buy fixer-uppers, rehab them with mostly sweat equity, rent them out for significantly more than 1% of your total purchase price per month, and then refinance the property to extract as much money as possible for your next down payment.It’s doable, but you need to find the worst property on the nicest block, as this will play a significant role in your refinance discussions later.Let me know if you would like to chat more and learn about the Toledo market, which is well-suited for what you are looking to do.Best regards,Phillip DakhnovetsGuardian Property Management419-740-0370

Personally, I've been looking into more fixer-uppers and value-add opportunities where the initial purchase price is lower, and the potential for appreciation is significant.

For example, if you're interested in flipping, you might try buying a fixer-upper as your primary residence and trying to renovate in a timely manner.

In order to be in the upper echelon of available listings, or reach occupancy and rates above the average Joe, your listing needs to reign supreme.

However, the house is not selling, having me consider more than once to rent it out, tap into my equity, and purchase a fixer-upper triplex in another part of town (where I would also live).
