This would be a flip only I'd end up buying them out in the end and having a little instant equity enough to take out a conventional loan.

With that being said, I would recommend you spend some time reading up on the forums about calculating ARV, cost estimation, the 70% rule and the 50% rule.Flipping houses does seem like its an instant return on your money, and sometimes it can be.

Hi Shawn,Feel free to contact me.You can instant message me in BP colleague request or can e-mail me or call me with my contact info is shown below.They won't let it be put in the actual post.You do not have to invest in the area where you are at to be successful.That being said you do have to have people you can trust to work with.I am not saying not to invest locally as that can work as well.It all depends on what you are talking about (houses,commercial,apartments,triple net).

The numbers will need to work without any "bought at the right price" instant wholesale equity.

And in today's market, you should be able to find deals with instant equity in addition.I would also be careful about consolidating.

So I should have instant equity in my house as soon as its completed (assuming I can build it for less than what I could sell it for when its done).

But it will cash flow instantly around 200-300$.Is this a good investment or should I look for something that will rent and appreciate?

., I have an instant "feel" for whether that MLS list price is market price, or if it's below and whether its a SFH or a townhome, etc.

Earlier today I came across Graham Stephan's Youtube channel and instantly became obsessed, watching around 20 videos today alone.

You can literally just call up the commercial loan department of your local banks and ask them if they hold their own loans, or sell them... any loan officer will instantly know the answer.
