We have it listed for $184,900, and it seems like it could work either as a rental or a quick cosmetic flip.ARV: ~$235K based on comps in the areaRental Potential: Estimated rents around $1,700/monthCondition: Cosmetic updates needed but nothing major from what I can see.

@Stuart Udis you sound like one of the good guys :)  This line is GOLD, "90% of people who post on BP about entity formation or transferring properties from their personal name to an LLC cannot articulate the risk they believe they are protecting against"Its a game of risk/reward.

@Jesse Herndon that sounds like fun and an interesting idea.

Also make sure all your friends & social media contacts know you’re in real estate as people who already know, like & trust you are the best sources of business.  

From a rate perspective, likely is not close to making sense at the moment, would need rates to drop further, however if value has increased and you are looking for cash-out, that motivation (any lower rate as icing on the cake / secondary concern) it could make sense to look into

Looks like you are in a better financial situation than most at your age.

What does it look like on a summer night? 

Most here on BP that buy NPL's like myself only invest in the US as we see plenty of product here in the US and can make good money doing it, so its not worth the risk to venture overseas in other country to learn all the nuances, laws and rebuilding all brand new relationships.
