I’m weighing the pros and cons carefully and considering my options.

Anyone else exploring these options?

@Natalie Johnstone I’ve used niche.com to get a high level sense but I wouldn’t base any decision on it.

You have to assume that the rehab cost was factored into what they can sell it for based on comparables.

@Cody Sims, your dad has some good options. 

Lenders might also require a history of rental income on the property or at least a market rent analysis to support the numbers.Given that you’re also looking for down payment assistance, which typically comes with its own set of lender requirements, your options might be a bit more limited.

This is again, why I would speak to a good real estate attorney (I have a very good one based out of San Diego if you DM me I can pass along his info). 

Im trying to decide if flipping a home or buying a rental property is the best option for my first investment.

What type of financing options are best for this strategy?

Based on the responses to buying a house, mommy daddy down payment $$$, and lack of motivation I wouldn't work with them to buy a house.
