@David Cherkowsky - first off, I can't argue with the idea of investing in your own market, as noted above by the other posts - that is obviously what I do.  

Dont shoot the messenger I don't make the rules :P  You don't apparently understand the rules or have this post confused. 

If you use the same investment pre and post-roth conversion, the growth would be the same.

Just posting a message to say hello!

The one I mentioned in the original post was one we never even went and visited because the initial approach to the property scared me.

*This post does not create an attorney-client or CPA-Client relationship.

If you can get a local agent to pull a list of recent transactions, you should be able to estimate, based on the photos, what your target property will sell for post-renovation.The repair budget is the list of repairs (with estimated costs) required to make your target property look like the "ARV homes" you found above.

I should have been more clear in my post. 

Dan MahoneyWhat an interesting and informative post.

@Nathan Frost,Thanks for posting.
