One thing I’d like to clarify—I’ve seen you suggest that I don’t fully understand infinite banking.

I’d love to connect with others who are house hacking or rehabbing in the area and share experiences.

I'd never touch that price. we underwrite 10% of after built value so in one of our markets in columbus that is 600k new build 40-60k on raw land

You will want to have properties under contract before bringing a contractor out to walk the place with you.If I were in your shoes I'd have a 30 minute call/zoom/coffee with a couple of local GC's now and come prepared to explain to them exactly what you are looking to do.For example when I first got started I was targeting single level, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,800 square foot homes, with 2 car garages, that were sitting on 7,500 square foot lots, and that were built of block in the 1950s/1960s.

I'd be hop on a call and show you how I'm doing it.

I see some listings trying to do that, but they're pretty recently listed so it's unclear at how successful they'll be.All that said, I'd run your numbers at $1,200/mo and if that works for you and your goals, great.

I'd rather purchase a vacant rental if I had my choice.

I'd like to engage a couple more for bids.

Between lost (or forgotten) coin and government buying, I'd say the total float is too low to ever make BC a widespread 'currency'.

So if the house is worth $500k once finished, then I'd go for it.....But first, talk to a Realtor and a GC.
