If the property is not a total gut or vacant land I do not see how a ground up construction loan would work in this scenario @Robert Ellis, you mind walking us through this to provide some insight. 

My first instinct was skepticism but it seems legit.

My gut says $20-30kish for a missing garage for a starter home in this price point. 

Trust your gut on the red flags. 

I am an investor focused agent, and in addition to my primary residence, own 3 SFR LTR (two of which I have gutted down to the studs and remodeled).Reach out anytime and we can meet up over coffee or lunch

Hello Biggerpockets,I’m a moderately experienced and networked real estate investor looking to start exploring the wholesaling niche here in LA.Looking for a gut check of my strategy, and to speak with anyone pursuing similar niches here in LA or other highly competitive markets.Context and backgroundMy first deal was a massive live-in flip.

I am an investor focused agent and own 3 SFR, 2 of which I have gutted down to the studs and remodeled.

And while I was able to increase rents substantially, the making the garage a garage again, also involved a full gut remodel of the rest of the house, so the design and newness certainly played a big roll on the rent increase.Second case study, my wife and I recently bought a flip.  1960's built, four bed 2.5 bath house.  

so I've found two properties that im currently interested in one a SFR thats completely gutted, and a 4plex that listed at 30k about market decisions decision...

Are you looking for small rehabs or full guts?
