@Gary Swank Thanks for this suggestion Gary, I will definitely make a post in the Boston forum.

Hello all- new here to posting on the forum but have been following and reading up the past few months and had a quick clarification question on private money loans and refinancing with BRRRR.I would just like to make sure I am thinking about this situation correctly.Let's say I were to buy a duplex for $80,000 that needed $20,000 in rehab that would put the ARV around $120,000 and was able to obtain a private money loan for the $100,000 at 10% interest could I then rent out one side of the duplex, move into the other side and refinance after a 12 month seasoning period?

I would do your analysis with the top 10 cities and what fits best for you. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/712/topics/51...Terry

@Wellington Johnson Welcome to the forums.

@John Vietmeyer seeing is how you admitted on a public forum that the place is empty, I wouldn't recommend putting a normal policy in place that requires the property to be occupied.Call around, 30 days seems pretty tight.

To evaluate the rental property I've used the excel spreadsheet found here in the MMM forums: https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/real-estate-and-...Here is some pictures of the properties exterior: Front Door: Rear Door:Side View NorthSide View South:We're modelling the exterior renovations off of this picture.

I’m currently still living at home so I can save as much money as possible for my first down payment, but during this time I’ve been listening to as many podcast and reading up on the forums!

On that point, mindy is really very nice so coming on the forums and trying to blast her for simple advertising is very childish.
