For a project this scale (and assuming flat or low appreciation), I'd guess a 10% cap rate which would mean a purchase price of $1.6M.

In addition, some loans allow for internal/corporate merger transfers and some do not-- at least on their faces.  

Sister is paying for all rehab costs with her cash.Sister is managing all of the subcontractors (thus far: debris removal, garage door repair, HVAC replacement, deck refurbishing, flooring, and painting).Dad was looking for an investment vehicle besides savings accounts and the stock market, but would never have pursued Real Estate if not for Sister.Sister has a track record as a buy-and-hold landlord (of 10 properties) with some small rehabbing, but has never managed a large-scale flip.Sister will sell the house as a FSBO once it's done.Likely to happen:Profit: $25kSelling price: $175kPurchase price: $114kRehab costs & selling costs: $36kHow might you split up the $25k?

If you reinvest the cashflow you'll be able to scale a lot faster with the 30 year mortgages

I currently own one two family and want some advice on how to scale with little of my own money to get to achieve my goals.  

If you are interested in scaling, this will make you an excellent project manager.Because of your experience, I would strongly suggest seeking out an experienced investor partner in the area who has access to deals and capital, but may not have the time or desire to be involved in the day to day project managing of multiple flips.  

It is a great way to start to scale up.  

What makes it even worse is that I have been in real estate investing for about 20 years now....just on a small scale, on the side as a sole proprietor, with a rental and have flipped a home, which made a substantial profit. 

But playing devil's advocate: you won't be able to scale your business if you keep doing it all yourself.

I want to record my experience, help newbies but now I'm think longterm...how does this website scale and how can I protect myself?
