Business does not allow customers to simply walk away without consequences.

I do not flip but I just do not see the numbers working for a flipper unless he can do more than a rehab (i.e. add a second unit, etc) to increase the value.Good luck

This method won't increase my monthly cash flow much in immediate future, but as loans are paid down and hopefully appreciation occurs, my overall situation should improve dramatically.

I am looking to get a 30 year fixed mortgage shortly (construction to perm to be exact.) and am trying to find out the best way to file 2016 taxes to increase chances of approval.

Even at $50, thats $50 x 78 units = $3900/month x 12 months = $46,800 in additional cash flow above the increase we were already shooting for.  

If I were you I'd find a niche item that could easily be 3D printed and then custom make it for residential DIYers, construction companies, and handymen.

I will have to admit that i have thought back many times to before i was married and had 3 kids that if i could have done it again that would be what i would have done.Condos could be good could be bad... the thing you want to watch out for is the association and how often the increase the dues... they tend to cut into your profits.

In any case, these new technologies are increasingly becoming expected by home buyers and businesses.
