For example, you want to buy a duplex for $400k and after spending $25k in renovation, what would be an estimated but accurate ARV?

I thought i would be buying real estate  that already existed. how would you approach investing in this yet to be built projects?

Quote from @John Laseter: Good morning all, Saturday afternoon a gentleman knocked on my door and produced a postcard that I had sent to his house offering to buy it.

Whenever I see someone detail goals of reaching number of doors and utilizing section 8 rentals, I immediately assume you are buying low barrier real estate.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

While i learn from my list of investors and the way they flip or rent the properties they buy from me, I'm still looking to grow my network in the Central Florida area.

However, rates have already fallen recently to a 15-week low.A 30-year fixed rate mortgage is sitting around 6.56% interest:All else being equal, lower mortgage rates reduce the cost of ownership and, thereby, allow more people to afford to buy.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I'm looking to buy my first investment property and this sounds very appealing. 

If I'm understanding correctly, for a cash refinance...If you buy an investment property, fix/repair it, and get a higher appraisal, you can then take the $ difference and put a down payment on another investment, etc.If so, are there tax implications with a cash refinance?
