But I have been looking into splitting the duplex into two condos (yes I know it is a lot of work) and I could probably get 325-350k for each, netting me 650-700k.Number:* Mortgage interest 2.5%* Mortgage principle 240k* PITI $2100/month* Rent 2200/month (current tenant on a two year lease)* Potential rent on my side $2400/month * 100k HELOC at 11% (fixed) (not currently being used)* est additional cost to split the dueplex 75-100k (conservative, probably less)     *new siding 30k (just put on a new roof this year)     *legal 10-15k     *fire proofing 15k     * 15-40k for stuff I am not aware of or underestimated on* some of the appreciation is external from the home     *big grocery store put in 3min away     * newly paved road in front of my house     *a building that was falling down across the street has been torn down          * Still a vacant lot with the foundation exposed and fencing around it (so more local improvements are on the way)Part of me wants to take the money and run but man I love that 2.5% interest rate and the $2000/month cash flow (including taxes and capx)I have thought about 1031 exchanging into more rentals, but I would like to pivot into storage units.

We have a few lenders that will go 90% LTC on flips and 80% LTV on rental properties in the OH market.

Purchase price: $390,000 Cash invested: $150,000 Rezoned to allow for ADU and am currently finalizing plans to add a second story and redevelop the 3-car detached garage into an medium term rental with an ADU above the garage.

As long as the rental income covers the new mortgage payment, you qualify.

I'm looking at home equity loans for another rental property we own currently.More than likely, we'll have to put the property back on the market and find some cash to cover the difference between current construction draws and sale price.It's an expensive mistake - but we'll be back again to fight another day. 

Otherwise my dad owning rentals all throughout childhood always had some funny problem in one way or another.

I currently have 4 rental properties and am about to close on the 5th.

The best strategy in Mexico is holding short-term rentals and it's often even better than in the US because of the high cash flows and the almost guaranteed lack of regulations, which is a huge problem in the Us another developed countries.

I plan to take the risk ASAP and am looking at a rental property that I plan to house hack.

Just under the 1% rule at close, but we plan to convert 2 units into furnished mid-term rentals at premium rates.
