Total rehab around 20k, a good bit of which I will earn back as I make my living as a contractor and will spend alot of time working on the house over the next couple of months.My question is this..this house will rent for $650-$700/month so after mortgage/ins/taxes I will only cashflow $100-$200/month, way short of where it needs to be for a good rental.

If it didn't work, they wouldn't spend the money advertising to get the unsuspecting to the events.Stay away from gurus for the most part.
