It's a normal thing for Candidates to expect to go through hoops here for an apt.

Unless people will take $1000 for a property to demolish and rebuild I can’t build equity and expect people to buy.

I’m planning on using private money to fund the rehab and then pay the lender back with the proceeds after I cash out refi. 1- what ballpark interest should I expect to pay for the rehab fund?

My lender wants 15-25% down, which is way more than I was expected to put down for one property. 

I love this topic - we bought a small house before kids, expecting to move after 5 years.  

If you do not expect a return even if you win the suit, all you will have are more expenses.

Generally after everything, mortgage vacancies repairs taxes etc, what net profit should be expected per door?

(I expect to have up to 150k in three years time from savings and family loans)Or, should I use the 30k as a down payment this year? 

Since people pay a fair amount of taxes (similar to NY and CA) the least they expect is free of charge public services Here in LA people have to suffer a burdensome and highly dysfunctional planning administration asking ridiculous amounts of useless studies and documentation, charging insane fees for very bad services.Architects and owners have to deal with up to 10 different agencies with their own requirements, timeline, fees and applications, resulting in massive delays and costs over the roof.

So if you have an end unit, expect in the 1875 range, non end unit expect 1700.
