Finishing details is the most expensive part of remodeling property.

Thank you.Hey Celestin, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

I am seeking insights and recommendations from the community regarding potential locations in and around Orlando where full duplexes might be more readily available within my budget.My plan is to house hack, and based on my initial calculations, I anticipate an extra expense of $1.5K beyond rental income to cover the mortgage.

Either way, if you can cancel out your living expenses completely with this house hack while gaining experience managing the STR, I don't think you can beat that.

Current partnership for one Single Family is approx 50k down payment, 10k partnership/management fee, 10k put in bank account for operating expenses.

I've done that twice now.Hard Money Lenders can be a great resource but they generally want to lend to someone with experience and the terms are expensive versus conventional financing. 

As many have said, there is always a buyer for the right price, and especially in todays environment with such expensive debt, it is important to price correctly.

There are four main ways that I recommend: Appraisal reports, comparable sales, tax cards and national averages.

They are expensive (30% fee) but they cover 100% of all management responsibilities.

Property managers can also be expensive.
