Hey Neil,Sometimes you have to get creative, and factor in some of the benefits of house-hacking.

Do you think being unfamiliar with the out of state area a big factor why investors want to stick to investing in state?

Hey Lenders,I currently own 17 doors in Little rock and surrounding areas and i have about $530k in equity at current market price factoring in the appreciation at a sale price of $1.5 million and the loans are 5/20 at 8% or more.

Earn a fee for facilitating the deal without actually buying the property.

Manage the property yourself and save the 20% fee.

The $200 cleaning fee goes directly to housekeeper who is phenomenal.  

To help you in your search: be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

I can't redeem, pay the fee for the land, the ground rent until March 1st of 2024.

My question is...how much should I allocate/factor in for Cap x and monthly maintenance on a new construction?

Factor in about 10% of the sale price to go towards closing costs (transfer taxes, commissions, attorney fee, etc) and miscellaneous expenses and you're at $625K so far - this is NOT including demolition costs, holding costs (taxes, utilities, insurance, management, etc), architectural drawings, surveys, building department filing fees, etc.That said, you may also want to consider the costs and potential benefits of adding sq ft. to the existing home and/or updating the home to potentially boost your sale price.All the best!
