So I recently came across a 3B/3B semi detached single-family home up for auction in 7 days.

we are continuing in our little berg in the Portland OR MSA.. there is no inventory to speak of  24 homes on the market as of 30 minutes ago when i check MLS in a town of 25k  thats detached SFR.. 

With the above mentioned obstacles to the BRRRR method you stated, what other methods are you using, or methods you know of to add value and/or build immediate equity on the deals you’re doing?  

it is hard to find a small 1 bedroom apartment for under 200-250k, and most detached homes are 600k+ (unless you qualify for affordable housing, in which case you have to jump through a lot of hoops and seemingly get lucky to secure property in town).

Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thank you.Side note: Wild Idea, convert detached garage into a living space and move in there. 5k-15k for renovations....

Much of the other units on the market are in the better school district in town, are slightly larger, and are single family detached where ours is a single family attached on a smallish lot with one shared wall.  

This is because the investment side of the building company is detached (does not attend sites often) from the site management staff.

This is a good option for getting started and you can find some places with 2 or 3 detached houses on a lot, especially in Corona.  

It's a 2 car detached garage.Gutter installation:  The back of the house needs 30 feet of gutters with one downspout.Tree branch removal:  There's a big tree out front that needs a large branch cut off. 

The house needs:HvacSidingNew hot water tankNew roof on small detached garage and possibly house (it was snowing on show day)New bathroom and kitchenAdd a half bath Floors, paint, fixturesPorch rehab All new windowsIt’s a 3/1/1 approx 1500sq ftThis would be fully funded from a family member using a intrafamily loan and they would receive 4% of the sale price at closing along with a low interest rate before then.
