Stepping into a house and listening to the investor talk about what they did to acquire it and what their BRRRR or Flip plans are was the icing on the cake.Just my $0.02.

Can't answer without knowing how noisy it is vs: location, price, rents, condition of side by side or town house

Now today, I learned through the neighbor she currently lives next to that she hasn't kept up the house, has been problematic, and apparently had eviction notices filed by her current landlord.

Long story short a lot of different things have gone wrong with this house but we are not even getting showings at $269,000.

I believe I can choose between a  City Housing Inspector or Authorized Inspector to conduct the inspection.

The challenge for present day investors is with elevated mortgage rates and record high housing prices, the carrying costs and incentive to invest now can be restrictive. 

So I basically would want a person who looks at the whole house and gives me the appraisal cost, the areas that need fixing (ex. kitchen cabinets, tiles, bathrooms, plumbing, electricity, etc.), and how much the cost would be.Then this way, I could decide to proceed or not based on the assessment.

A fully paid off property which now should be worth at least $300K with appreciation, I can access 75% of that with a cash out refi so roughly $225K - refi costs.To me, its a no brainer to do bi-weekly IF you plan to keep the house for that long AND you do not plan to refinance (rate or cash out).

Unless this is your dream house and that's what's necessitating the build, not the economics, you should really think twice before executing on this subdivision/new build.

I did the house hack route, about to buy my 3rd now.
