That is probably in the range of what landlords will pay for SFHs but could be more or less depending on your market.Look for comparables.

Look at what comparable properties have sold within the last 6 mos.

Lastly, working with a lender that loans based on as-is value, normally will reward you with much better rates, lower points and longer terms, than your more traditional hard money lenders are going to give you.  

Lewiston is pretty, but small compared to Denver.

You need to experience some of the frustrations as well as the rewards and then determine if you can make a living on straight commission.

I'd like to compare those terms to the ones I see and potentially incorporate some of the safety features.You've noted the key element of the deal.

However, if you have substantial equity in it(based off comparables) after rehab you may look and buy & hold as a feasible option.

But, I have noticed that in two towns that have comparable populations, amenities, etc, that similar houses in each town have a big difference in taxes.

I am told I will be pre approved because of the difference of money I made in 2013 compared to my 2012 income (Im self-employed).We started an LLC S-Corp & have not yet transferred homes there for fear of having to pay off the remaining equity sooner than our 30-year plan; I've heard in 3 years its possible?

To our Flippers out there:

I'm wondering about a few questions related to a CMA for a property you're interested in:

Would you always personally do a CMA or have your agent/broker do it?
How much time...
