Costs the same to put on a new roof. 

Pretty good laminate countertops already in home.  Purchased for 72k. Would like to add some value for “subject to improvement” appraisal to pull equity.  Granite? Quartz? Leave the existing ? 

They will go down sooner or later, and if deals work at the current cost of capital, then they will look even better when rates drop.Maybe it's time to evaluate other markets?

If solid comps are showing 120k, you should be good, "if" you have solid rehab numbers.When I run numbers for a flip, I take the worst case scenario on everything, then if I still have 20k profit(after commissions, holding costs, insurance, closing assistance) I will proceed. 

Have the new resident apply, add them to the lease, and increase the rent accordingly.  

Marketing costs right now are roughly $1500 per month to make one wholesale deal of about $15K. 

Factor in an eviction cost and expectation if needed when you are looking at numbers. 

I would simply prorate the cost and bill the lost warranty value back to the tenant.

I would do research about the process of getting licensed in your state and what costs are entailed, then see how you feel!

With the cost of homes in SD, I don’t think we’ll ever have remaining entitlement.
