Another property is a 3 family for $250k (Unheard of around here) but probably needs $200-$250k in improvements and again I fall into "Is this really going to cashflow enough or is it just a tool to fund the next one plus a small profit each year".

If they don't have a motivating factor, there probably won't be a deal there.Another thing to consider: There are ways to optimize your costs to improve your offers: Use cash or cheaper financing.

I am looking how to improve calculating ARV.

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

Combined with low interest rates (anything under 5%) that means affordability will further improve.

They are inexpensive and sold at most home improvement stores.  

Those cost haven't been outrageous.. maybe $1,100 over the course oy my ownership, and all of the improvement have added to the quality of the community and increased property values.

Our strategy of taking underperforming multifamily properties and converting to top performing STR units with automation and streamlining would work well in the right hotel setting in my mind, especially with it being an invisible-service structure, and not needing office space or on-sight staff, and everything through an A la carte platform.

Most will have a baseline cashflow as the asset improvements take shape.

Can he file a quit claim deed to add me to his title and then I apply for a HELOC on the PA property so we can make improvements and buy an investment property?
