But if you're able to figure it out and get it built, you can rent out the units and essentially BRRRR it and pull some/all of your equity out to repay your debts, yourself, and potentially keep the investment cycle going. 

I understand some of the economic factors that can lead one to a particular city or province (or state), but unsure of some of the key elements as you funnel down below that level.Appreciate any insight.Tyler 

I just want to get financable this year - pay off debt, save some $. 

I paid him half and half went to the debt. 

Refi after construction.These numbers consider only the portion of costs of the HEL attributable to the land purchase, not the payoff of the HELOC (which we took out to buy the Seaside condo).Cash In:                     $66,166 (Cash, 1 year of debt service of HEL, debt service of const. loan, furnishing)Amount Financed:      $548,000 (home equity loan + construction loan + closing costs)Total Cost of build:     $614,166ARV:                               $850,000 (or rather "after construction value")Refi                                $637,500 (75% of value + closing costs)                                        Cash Out                       $89,500New payment             $4500/month (54,000/year)Estimated Cash Flow (pre-tax numbers, so actual mileage may vary)airBNB year 1:            $70,000     (net income $16,000)airBNB year 2:            $100,000   (net income $46,000)airBNB year3+:           $120,000   (net income $66,000)ROI (construction year):    0ROI Year 1 of STR:              24.2% ROI Year 2 of STR:              69.5% ROI Year 3+ of STR:            99.7% Did I calculate these ROI numbers right? 

This is significantly lower than the mid west in the US.A really nice thing over there is that rents are often payed once per year.Dubai have a very consentrated power and decision organ which leads to very low predictability.

A realtor who understands the numbers can help analyze the property’s projected cash flow and ROI, plus they might know local leads from probate attorneys or even “drive for dollars” efforts that can reveal off market gems.

Lower taxes, no POS and lead testing. 

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

In this case even if the project went south and you broke even or even lost money, the equity (debt) you used would still be covered by the income you are earning on the rental property.
