For the purposes of the forum I was still referring to it as a "flip", but I'm really just concerned with how much I will make in resale in the same way any other homeowner would; I simply don't think it's a wise choice to purchase a property and spend money to fix it when I know I would never be able to get it back.I apologize for the confusion, and I'm now certainly embarassed that it has appeared I was trying to be an investor who would fraudulantly "pose" as an Owner-Occupant; this would NOT be the case at all, I simply have never lived in or looked at a house that needs a lot of repair, and I am trying to figure out if it is a smart purchase.

Christopher Boggs Looks like you're making some smart moves.

As long as you can show proof of personal funds this seems like a smart move.

Is it smart to put it under contract and start due dilligence?

But I'm wondering if, with some smart cosmetic improvements, you couldn't get higher rents.

Local smart investors that understand the profitability of the local market vs the "imprestors" from out of state that are being sold higher "crap rates" on the wrong side of town because they don't understand what a cap rate reflects?
