This is why I like to put my SDIRA money in debt funds since no UDFIWith the HELOC you are basically breaking even on the deal most likely or make very little whihc at that point is it worth the risk. 

However, I feel like there's a lot of potential to run into a lot of walls/pitfalls that can cost a ton of time/money if I do this route.At the end of the day, I want to put a lot of emphasis on using the newest technologies to streamline the business as much as possible. 

- Should I do a partial remodel, replace the vanity, toilet, floor, and put a tub cover?

If it breaks I certainly will, but it's still working just fine and I would rather put off what will be a couple hundred dollars repair until it's really necessary.  

Since you have a primary residence in the area, you’re probably already aware of this, but it’ll be tough to find a property in Huntsville proper within your $165,000 to $175,000 budget.Luckily, your 100-mile radius puts a handful of nearby (and more affordable!)

I have no interest in owning a property in a neighborhood where I (or anyone) would be harassed and threatened...and sorry, but taking other peoples' word for it just isn't good enough for me when I'm putting hundreds of thousands (or millions) on the line. 

The daughter was put on a beneficiary deed in 2017, but I've talked to her and she says she wants nothing to do with the property. 

Anyway putting together a list of damage to file a claim if you have any advice please let me know. 

I live in Phx,az and recently friend of mine sold his bank (ex bank of america) literally as is and profiteed $300k  , he purchased it right out cash last year (I think) and it was in real bad shape in a shady part of town,  before him taking possession of the bank  homeless people where living inside it an using the bathroom anywhere in the building, he put maybe less than $5k in just cleaning it up and just a couple of days sold it.Basically the idea is to find super cheap homes in ****** conditions but the price is so cheap that you could still make profit by selling as is, investing as little as possible..

Although in the next few years I'll be starting a family and will want a single family home, if I put in the work of finding off market / on market multifamily deal the medium term rents could be insane.
