This is a really great post!

Post construction appraisals for this model are coming back at $377k.

You could post photos of a similar asethetic, but be very careful and make it very clear these are placeholder photos. 

Is that on the general contractor to keep us posted?

I probably should have pointed out in my earlier post that there were these other factors that influenced my decision not to own in that area again.

what you're proposing, while possible, is incredibly difficult and highly risky, and i don't know how you would do it completely remotely with no plans to visit or set up a team.i think i've said this in other posts, but there is tremendous demand for inventory right now among both retail buyers and investors. 

Are there margins gross or post net? 

It seems, obviously, that the method is strongly focused on the refinancing of the property post rehab.
