I believe the primary issue is the 20 year term on a typical commercial loan.My current focus is on buying and hold duplex properties, and around me that put the total acquisition costs around $200-250k, with total monthly rents being 1.0-1.3% of the purchase price.  

It seems there is a significant discrepancy with the cost of housing (very high) and rent (much lower then the cost of housing).

The Reno market has a lower cost to entry and strong appreciation.

I'm also a Reatlor® and work almost exclusively with investor clients, so this is my area of specialty.I recently began working with Account Closed and his team because beyond just taxes, they also advise and provide valuable services such as cost segregation studies.

@James E.Hi James,I'm not a wholesaler... just an investor who has dealt with wholesale deals.My broad perspective is that wholesaling is a marketing job - where the wholesaler (on the surface) is trying to help a seller, but ultimately is trying to do that in a way that ends up costing the seller more money than it should have, had the seller taken more traditional means to achieve that sale.  

Your insurance costs are high in Florida so you would want to hedge toward the middle of the state as opposed to coastal.

If rehab is needed, you can either use conventional rehab loan to finance your rehab costs or open a line of credit on a property that you may have then use that line of credit to fund your rehab expenses.

@Aaron Rushtoni know your questions are very focused on the HELOC but... there are lots of aspects to a BRRRR, and financing is only one of them.and if you use borrowed funds for 100% of everything then yes, that's potentially less cash out of pocket, but it also increases the overall cost of your project, putting more pressure on the appraisal and refinance. 

Good turnkey providers should be able to minimize vacancy periods and reduce turnover costs.

But it has been about 2 weeks since the seller passed and the seller's estate has not given any information to my relator or the title company.Given that the estate is contractually obligated to the sale & that I have money tied up in the deal (earnest money, home inspection cost, interest), I am looking for advice to move this forward and/or a suggestion for a real estate attorney in Cincinnati.
