The upstairs is approved for short-term and long-term rentals and has a kitchen, bathroom, and a Victorian room that could be a bedroom.Notes:-There are three vaults, one on each floor.

I believe that within three years, rates will be much lower, and you can refinance.Another consideration is that once you get a property under contract, you should immediately shop around for better rates.

After the 08 crash, I started buying rentals and built a portfolio of 80+ sfh's - all three bedroom homes in areas with good schools.My mistake was selling a bunch during covid.

To do so you need a deal like above.I'd rinse and repeat my money at least three times before I even started to think about something else.Allentown is actually a decent market for the same price range, Scranton is another.I do lots of deals in PA with clients so if you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out.

(Calling any real estate lawyers to comment.)Assuming one could live with the litigation risk, I would propose three options for buyer prospects to tour listings: 1) A buyer’s agent from another brokerage could schedule a tour OpenDoor-style, but with no compensation offered from the listing agent or seller 2) If the buyer has no agent from another brokerage, a buyer’s agent from mine could accompany the prospect and open the door for a fee ($25-50) 3) if a prospect insists on touring alone, for scheduling reasons or any other, the prospect would have to show proof of funds/lender pre-approval and pass a background check (this last part could pose challenges) You're passionate about the idea, I can see, and I'm not saying none of that could or would work, but in my honest opinion you're looking for a nugget of gold in a sea of desert here.

There are three safe harbors that businesses may use to meet the test.Half of the amount the business spent on services were for services performed in a QOZ.Necessary business functions and necessary tangible property was located in a QOZ.Half of the hours of service received by the business were performed in a QOZ.A business does not need to meet all three safe harbors to qualify.

However, all the sold comps are crossed out after following a three-tiered system to determine the ARV:T1: Stay within one-miles radius, sold for fewer than six-months.T2: Size of the properties are within 200 sqft., must share certain attributes (bedrooms, bathroom, etc.).T3: Compare property typeIn "The Book on Flipping Houses" by J Scott, it mentioned about adjusting the value of the comps to ensures that they resemble the subject property as closely as possible.

Excluding #1, cash to invest, the other three (whether collectively or as a whole, can be appealing).   

What type of real estate and where are you looking that you can't find comps within three years?

Always be in front of the contract and prioritize where you're buying and entry price. lf all those are three in your favor, you have a lot of leeway with some of the normal but difficult parts of a fix & flop/hold.
