Hi all and thanks for the welcome…@ Colin So far I did several flipping deals and some other deals based on buying/rehab/rent/resell.

Besides BP,Just found a great one called "Old Capital Real Estate Investing" They pitch their services their, but it's fairly good concerning how people purchase, rehab, force appreciation and resell apartments

Buy it for that and resell with owner financing (Make sure your note does not include a due on sale clause) charge your buyer 5k down and 9.99% interest (Plus T&I) for 120 months and enjoy the $2,800 downpayment spread an $90 a month with no investment of yours.Sell it for 35k and 10 years and your monthly check jumps to $156.06or sell it for 35k and 15 years and you get @ $81.97 a month for 10 years then $322.20 for the last 5 years.

So when you close with the seller thats done, in the same day you will sell the property to your buyer and all your buyer will see or ever even know is the price he sees on his contract.You've just legally bought a house....its your right to resell it for how ever much you want....I would be more concerned with making sure you understand how you will pay taxes...if you have a title company that knows what they are doing you have nothing to worry about

All very good points, but assuming you're correct that you could resell quickly for a small profit or resell in a longer period of time for a larger profit, it doesn't answer your question...The answer is, as it usually is, that it depends on your personal goals, opportunity costs and financial situation. 

Your other option is to buy the properties and then resell them.

I'd be looking to resell it, but can't assume it's worth what rents are going for in a more mainstream area.

I like to keep the separated that way seller's don't get the impression I'm immediately reselling their property for a higher amount.  

I'm not sure about your market, but I would think it would be easier to resell it as a SFH, so that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Does anyone know of a good general contractor in the Salt Lake City area that will work with investors looking to rehab and resell homes?
