The properly sits on a large 28,480 square-foot lot zoned for office, creating the potential for re-development as a medical office expansion.

Now if it is more of a flip and the equity payout is both large and quick to come, that could change it.  

@Dan Carter I wouldn't count them as part of the deal but an added benefit.

Over our 10+ years in the industry we have seen data that there is an almost unlimited high-end profit margin, but we also feel there is a relatively untapped and large inventory of lower profit flips available that most investors are not focusing on (that have multiple risk mitigation measures in place as well).Our goal is to find the balance of profit, risk, and consistency.

Most investors are doing LLCs from my experience... but that doesnt mean you have to. there are some liability protections with LLC, along with a little anonymity if set up right. but also some added costs. one suggestion here is just whatever you decide, stick to it. some counties will see a transfer between personal/ LLC or vice a versa as a 'sale' and trigger property tax reassessment.

Like you referenced in your original post, the homestyle renovation loan, with similar down payment options and more flexibility for future investments is definitely an avenue I am now adding to my list for consideration.

2) Same S8 tenants don't understand their voucher includes utilities and most rental ad amounts do NOT include utilities.

From my research it seems prices have gone up a lot in recent years so I am wondering if this strategy is still a feasible option for someone looking to start with a SFH for 150k or below, adding value with a rehab and getting a high enough appraisal to make it work. 

Hi fellow investors,I just bought a multi unit in a D neighborhood and I think keeping section 8 tenants might be the best course of action.
