Living through a construction zone is not easy.  

Hometrust has never offered such a deal (their rehab estimates are laughably low) I would like to hear what other investors are finding that even comes close to the 70% rule and how you are finding them. 

I had a similar situation in Irvington Nj, a quadplex as well, with four below market tenants. the city's rent control rules: 472-1 Establishment of rents.

The way to get motivated sellers if for you to make it easy for them to find you, when they become motivated!

The free equity that was in the house and the potential to build even more easy equity.

Very easy profit formula.Cap rate NOI for that year/ sale price= %

The reason I ask is that I am working on creating my database too and as I am sure you know, Its never easy!

There are rules to follow!

NOT happening, Will need at least 35- 40k for each props with reno, Well I guess possible but will take years and its no likely Not easy to get started the first couple iteration but most things are more difficult at the very beginning.

When they start to show wear they are easy enough to paint.
