This will allow me to pursue my goal of hiking the AT from start to finish in 6 months.Year Long goal; to develop the means and methods to buy and manage real estate investments smartly, to find a duplex owned by a "tired" land lord in the Beavercreek and Springboro Ohio area that can be managed more effectively. 3 month goal; to line up a HELOC after interviewing multiple banks/CUs, to establish a well rounded networking group of experts and investors.  1 week goal; to look into different banks/ CUs per week and ask about their terms for HELOC.

I also feel most comfortable investing in markets that I know - mainly the East Bay area of the Bay Area and metro Boston.I've heard of the BRRR method being used almost exclusively on houses that are around $90-$120k. 

I want a C-corp to keep my schedule E cleaned up to be attractive to lenders, I want that extra w-2 income form the C-corp.  

Appliances, and some general clean up.

Just a little paint, plumbing, carpet cleaning, and a couple of new (used) appliances.

After quite a bit of dragging my heals (I had finally gotten a job again and was learning the new job), I hired some people to come clean out the home and cut the grass/weeds.

I’ve heard of the brrrr method and that’s what I’m doing

The only real benefit to the buyer is if they couldn’t qualify for a straight up loan or this method would require less cash.There are risks in a sub2 to both parties.....the due on sale clause being the biggest risk to the buyer, and the seller.  

And I will go back and recalculate it using the same method that you use.

Cleaning what what we’ve got.
