If it does, but more money down, or forego appreciation and choose a stagnent market that cashflows.

And a deal in my opinion is one that will 1. pay for itself(All property expenses) and 2. pay the debt service(if necessary) and 3. put money into my pocket each month.  

It kinda creates a much smaller threshold for the tenant to save money if they were to keep an eye on their usage since I'm paying a large chunk of it, while also being able to keep any eye on how much they spend so it gives them that personal incentive to watch their usages.

Hi @Alex Lee I would avoid 203K loan and work with conventional renovation loan based on knowing you'll be forced to use 203k certified contractors which will cost more money and offer inflated pricing because they must follow 203k guidelines. 

So the money partner increases their new worth quickly as the property forces equity usually through repairs.

Right now you have $1,000 in cash flow that can be used to fund other projects (seed money), pay you in profit to supplement your lifestyle, or fill in any gaps for underperforming properties.  

The agent will not be paying you/seller/buyer because the agent does not bring money to the seller/buyer in any fashion in a transaction (typical transactions), unless this agent is a partner to that person buying the property, or they are a principal to the property.Let me know if that makes sense. 

If I start a property management podcast or YouTube channel tomorrow, it will be to make money not to educate you. 

Again, the idea there is farmhands [in general and past] tend to not make lots of money.

I have the private money lined up for the 25% down payment.
