With that capital, I’m planning to either dive into a larger multifamily project in Detroit or grab a small duplex or quad in San Francisco.To reach that $500k mark, I’m leaning on the power of cash-out refinancing.

Finding it through your Facebook sphere shows the power of networking, and keeping the rehab cosmetic was a smart way to minimize risk and maximize profit.One thought: Have you factored in holding costs, loan interest, and potential market fluctuations during the 45 days?

I currently live in Southern Maine and am looking to construct some kind of new project rather getting into rehabbing existing residentialProposed Land Budget 100-200kConstruction Budget: 400kAll in 500-600k.I have found that if I do the site work myself including clearing, septic and digging the foundation is that i can sub contract out either steel or a Lester style building (50x150) for around 300k installed with insulation and power , divided into three 2500 square foot units. 

I predict this bill will increase homelessness in Rochester NY or will force people to move outside of the city to find housing.

I guess my problem with being too up front about seeing their place is that I don't feel like I'm in a position of power right now to decline people since it's hard enough to find people that I want to even get to that point in the application process in the first place, but I have to snap out of that mindset and have to instead come from a place where I make them believe that I have a lot of other applicants and that it's my standard policy and it's something they'll have to go through if they want my place.....ESPECIALLY if I decide to only take 1st & security from them rather than 1st/last/security.Thanks again!

Quote from @Bill B.: I wouldn’t purchase a STR property anywhere it wouldn’t work as a MTR or LTR unless its local economy is based on STR.

Thanks for that shout out @Bill Brandt. 

@Damon AlbersSounds like these properties are in a class c area and your manager is not doing a good job vetting themBut this is not out of ordinary for c class rentals which is why people look at cash flow and be like wow but one $5000 bill can wipe out 4-6 months of rental income and properties never make money and rarely appreciateThis is why we do not do lower class rentals as stated cash flow vs reality are typically not close

I may not have resources today, but I bring something just as powerful: the willingness to outwork, outlearn, and outlast anyone else in the room.Here’s what I’m focused on:✅ Learning from experienced investors.✅ Building strong relationships and partnerships.✅ Exploring creative ways to get deals done, even without a ton of upfront capital.I know that success in real estate is a team sport.
