and it's not only not cash, it's expensive money - for it to be worth using you'd need either (1) something short term, like a flip (not recommending that here) or (2) a very high return that beats the interest rate you're paying on it.

Moreover, many municipalities are adopting new middle housing codes, so if you pick up properties at affordable rates that have big lots, then after a few years of appreciation you'd be in a good position to redevelop them.Hope you're well, stay in touch!  

It’s still rough and has plenty of room for improvement, but I can upload photos of a distressed property, tax records, comps, lender rates, and local rehab costs.From there, it analyzes the photos to identify repairs, explains why they’re needed, estimates costs for each item, calculates the total rehab budget, determines ARV based on comps, and provides an expected return—basically automating a lot of what spreadsheets already do.It’s not meant to replace an analyst, and of course, everything still needs to be verified.

Cash-Out Refinance – Refinancing one of your properties to pull out $30,000 in cash can be an option, though it may extend your loan term or increase your interest rate. 3.

The truth is that you have to SPEND 20K to go to their school and learn the ropes.

Although, it's very capital intensive and you have to rely on a lot of factors you can't control, contractors, interest rates, market shifts, realtors, buyers, appraisers, inspectors, material costs, weather etc etc.
