I would recommend pulling up Schedule E and fill out a profit and loss for your property, including depreciation (3.636% for a full year of depreciation for the fair market value allocated to the building).

Companies in technology not profitable may not able to borrow money easier.

If you go with one of these three don't expect much room for profit if any.Best way I know of is to do direct mail or door knocking.

Or a potential flip profit of around 25k-30k.My plan is to save money over the next year while this lease is in place, then get in there and renovate it as quick as possible next summer. 

I don't see there really being a way for the average person to really profit on it.

For example, if two people put 50% each on the down payment of the house then they will theoretically split all profit at 50% as well.

I plan to improve and stabilize it, increase rents, get some cash flow, then sell for a little profit in a year or so if the market supports it

The first house sold and I didn't get my share of the profits because my partner said she didn't make enough from the sale.

I bought a small foreclosed home in 2011 and sold it 5 years later for a nice profit, bought another home in a better area and we put a lot of money and sweat equity in since.

Hey BP,Does anyone have a buy/hold profit spreadsheet or rehab cost spreadsheet that you would be willing to share?
