Cash Flow and Depreciation Write Off Lessons learned?

Hey all, I have several off-market deals (various cities) and am looking to build out a larger network of buyers.

The purchase price isn't low enough for it to be a good flip, and it won't cash flow even if rents can be raised that dramatically.have you purchased off market / from a wholesaler before?

I am interested in BRRR's, off market properties and flipping.

Would I be able to knock down and build a new home and once I sale, I use proceeds to pay off the first bank? 

At $1200 monthly rent after the increase, It would still be cheaper by $100 for them to stay versus finding a similar home, but they may not see it that way and I don't want to piss them off or make them leave because a $100 increase could be a shocker. 

We have found houses the traditional way - through the Multi Listing Service (MLS), through foreclosure auctions, off of craigslist (that really weren't scams!)

My issue is that I come from a low income background and have fought my *** off, pardon my language to get to where I am now and comfortable.

If this is the case I would hold off until you see a monthly payment difference worth pulling the trigger on.

I can't read the text (hence audible) and am getting thrown off by a calculation made in Chapter 7 min 33:45(audible), Chapter 5 (hard copy)2000/300,000 = 1.5% BUT 2000/300,000 really = .0066667After re-listening to it, I just figured that he meant to say it the other way around: 300000/2000 = 1.5%It's in reference to the 2% rule if that helps you find it.
