So I am debating these options and its impact on re-selling the unit in the future:1.

., in san francisco, investors buy at a 2-4 cap, which i think is crazy, but ppl buy for appreciation and make it up on the back end on resell.

If you're going to purchase a property to fix up and resell, some people use this formula as a Guide: ARV minus 30%, minus all repairs.

These are widgets and you need an inventory that you can buy and then resell for a profit.  

If they bite, you could then go through with the purchase and either wholesale it to neighbor or or buy and resell.  

We also do full rehabs for some houses and then resell them retail for the cash buyer.

At the time of this writing I'm at about 150 because I just had a lot of sales and another managment company took over a lot of them.I'm in negotiations with a large investor to buy a large bundle of them this week.At any given time I have 10 in my own portfolio that I am fixing and reselling weekly (not myself mind you, I have a great team of contractors I use).When I say fix, I do not mean fixer uppers.

If I can help someone else, help a bank, and help myself at the same time, that seems like a major win.I bought a property for myself at a point which accidentally turned into a 14 month buy, rehab, rent, resell. 

@Kal Paneliya That sounds doable, and if this is your first time double closing (well, triple in this case) the only catch would be to be sure that the bank's contract doesn't stipulate a waiting period after the transfer of title before you can re-sell the property (7 days, 30 days, 157 days, whatever).

Much better off finding the more rare gem of an older place in need of rehab in a neighborhood with more room in the deal to improve and resell for greater profit.
