I have one house-hacking property in SLC, but homes here have gotten a bit too high to see any cash-flow.

I am looking to vacate the house and prep for a 1031.I previously had the property listed, got under contract just for this tenant to be the reason we didnt make it through the inspection period.I have a good relationship with her but she is a mess, pays late every month (including her late fee, she is current), police visits, etc. 

The 4 bed house is worth approximately the same.

In Tampa I had Rental Duplexes and Houses in S.

Progress is slow, because amongst all my properties it's the furthest away and between a full time job and landlording, I can only work on this property on weekends.I have completed re-framing, re-plumbing of drains and supply lines and new electrical rough ins, but property has no finished walls, ceilings, or flooring. 

There are exceptions though like you could buy a dilapidated colonial house in Merida and rehab it.

I am under contract to buyOffer was made with inspection contingency Seller agreed to repair or replace furnace a week agoI asked my realtor to check on the progress of seller and they have no real news for me a week later, other than an HVAC guy was on property- per sellers realtorMy loan is conditionally approved pending appraisalI told my realtor I’m not ordering the appraisal until I am satisfied with the progress being made to fix/ replace furnacIs that unreasonable?

Good morningIt is working well.I expect to buy 8 houses in next 5 yearsAfter that I will start flipping but I am sorry you mistook meMy flips will be local:)

Two identical single family houses, side by side, would be worth the same, because value is based on comps.You need to learn how to underwrite an apartment.

Almost every house I look at has rental rates that would be equal to or less than what the monthly mortgage would be.
