I had to be certain this deal is DOA because there is always that one person that see potential in deals most people would pass on. 

So, if my actual cleaning rate is $385 and I list it as $300 (and eat the difference), is this a potential tax problem down the road?

Potentially get a commercial loan or HELOC against the properties to fund additional deals.Future: I will have all the debt from the prior renovation paid off this year from the rental income.

It can be seen as a unique amenity that sets your property apart and attracts potential renters.

Joe, I can say that a lot of people avoid the West End/Portland areas, but I believe those people are short-sighted or unable to see the potential in these areas. 

If you have experience investing in this area of the country and can shed some light and insight into taxes, insurance, Airbnb options (easy/hard/impossible), permits, flooding, other potential issues, etc., I'd be most grateful!

The lenders that get a share of your property are potentially the same ones that would put into the Reno costs?

You might also meet someone that could be a potential business partner.

Hi guys - would love any feedback on the below numbers I am crunching on a potential BRRRR deal.The plan is to hold on to the property, rehab it, rent it, and then do a cash-out refinance.

I thought that the ability to work "whenever I wanted", and the commission potential and income, would help me get the basic funding needed for when I was finished with college.
