@Abdul QadirTo do well in Dayton, Ohio's real estate, study the market, know the local rules, and plan for extra costs at closing.

In 2023, I received orders to relocate to Beaufort, SC, and was able to rent out my NC home immediately, generating approximately $500 in monthly cash flow after accounting for property management costs.

My company is in the process of rehabbing our 1st property and, while I could write about all of the frustrations associated with it, I thought it would be best to have a blog that was upbeat.

If you are a flipper, your real estate along with related costs are considered inventory.The bare minimum feature within Quickbooks is to have the inventory feature.

I rented to my parents for 15+ years and when they past I rehabbed the house and sold it for $120k profit.

You said cash-flow is a couple hundred dollars per month, but don't forget to factor in maintenance, vacancy, CapX, and any costs outside the monthly loan.

"rinsing and repeating the heloc process" - Don't forget paying all the fees and closing costs along the way. 

Unlike my current active stratagy on my 19 SFH,  I will not be able to recoup the renovation cost back out of the property value by having an 80% Loan to value pulled on the back end because the buy price is just not good enough.

@Scott SteffekAre you still working flips and rehabs?

Have a few lenders currently that will loan 100% of the purchase price and rehab, as long as the total loan is below 75% LTV.
