In my research I've found that there are a handful of developers who are spending big money to renovate and rehab the downtown area and that the Scranton School Board is under new leadership, allowing the district to finally exit from its "financial recovery" phase.

Downfall to some DPA's is they require you to own the home and not sell it or refinance anywhere from 2, 3 or 5 years depending on the state.I have seen people use a DPA and after they purchased the home they did some renovations and the home increased significantly in value.

If your goal is to scale faster and get to the point where your real estate cash flow allows you to spend more time with your kids, BRRRR can help you snowball your investments instead of parking all your cash into one deal.Building Equity: With BRRRR, you get the chance to build significant equity upfront by adding value through renovation.

I ended up with the slightly higher rate and 20% down plus a second loan for some renovations.

I bought from a primary homeowner in Indianapolis metro area who took really good care of this home (I did live in this house and rented it out when I moved back to California) and from a flipper in Indy more recently.As far as primary homeowners, they can range from taking really good care of the house to someone who has a lot of deferred maintenance - I renovated a local property that had a lot of issues.  

We are currently looking at a HUD home in Georgia - I have a couple of questions and can’t seem to find a definitive answer - The home is currently in the OO listing period - our plan would be to buy the home doing extensive renovations (the home is in a “Historical” area so renovations have to be approved) once completed we plan on living there full time - it could take ip to a year to complete or longer I don’t know  - as I see it the OO designation is to be the OO for a min of 12 months - is this after the home has been renovated or after you close on the home - though the house could probably technically be lived in now it does have some water and roof damage and needs complete redo of electrical and plumbing - for me to deem it safe - so not really livable by normal standards - but no way it would be livable in just a couple of months - any thoughts or an actual answer to the OO rules 

Considering that he isn't there personally for the renovation he hires someone to manage the construction project.

I bought a multifamily property that was undervalued, so working on renovations and improvements now.

One of the last houses I renovated had a tweaker living in it.

@Erich OertelRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?
