I like this answer!

I was playing with the idea of selling my condo, taking 300k of the equity to put a down payment towards a house listed at 660k.I'm assuming the reno will run $300/sqft and going in with the assumption that phase 1 will run 750k (figure the expansion of the house will have to wait) for the gut reno.I assume/hope (but definitely not banking on) that I will be able to refi in 2-3 years at a lower interest rate; if not for a lower rate.This will likely be a family home for the next 5-10 years at LEAST so investment value isn't quite at top of mind ATM.Questions:Even if it's not for lower interest rate, do you feel it's advisable to refi to remove the 203 loan in the future?

Quote from @Gregory Wilson: A few things there, Brendan.First, an LLC with you as a member and your (wife, son, pal, etc.) partner as a 1% member will file a Form 1065 which is about one tenth as likely to be audited by the IRS as a Form 1040 with a Schedule E rental activity (which I presume you will attempt to show is an active business).Second, you want an LLC because when your local Alabama handyman drives his girlfriend's uninsured truck into a van load of U of A medical school interns on I-22 when he goes  to get some shingles for your roof, on your business, you don't lose everything you have or ever will have to an uninsured claim. 

Law is like jello, very squishy.  

Would you like a copy of it?

I would check out Flipper Force, seems like a great product.

Very helpful and  I think that what you are doing sounds  like a very good pet  policy. 

It seems all kinds of people don't like Airbnb and don't like renters.

Looks like you're doing great so far. 

Hi Adriana, I am a commercial real estate investor in the U.S. but I live in Dubai.In terms of the BRRR strategy, you could probably do a fix and flip in some of the older villa communities like the Springs, Meadows, or Arabian Ranches 1.
