This is definitely not ideal, because they would have 25% equity tied up in the property and we have no idea if this property will even appraise for 350K which is the estimate we told the lender to get these numbers.

Of course, a hybrid yield + value-add investment is ideal, won't you agree? 

Ideally, I'd like to walk the properties and get an idea of rehab cost. - continue driving for dollars.- network more in my region to find an experienced investor who could potentially partner or provide advice.- Find the rehab cost, ARV, and get property under contract to wholesale (and be clear with owner about my goal to wholesale)Thanks for the help!

We will be sharing bathrooms and on the other side of the house have 3 in one bathroom which I know is not ideal.

Yup I agree REI is the ideal hedge.

Most of my smell bad tenants have not been ideal.  

I deal with foreclosure auctions, and odd properties. 

Ideally Id' like to work Part time and keep my current job. 

I would ideally like to tap into my 403b to fund fix and flip projects without triggering major tax consequences. 

Given the numbers below, would this still be considered an ideal investment?
