Brokered a client this 5br 2ba house in Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago but the cheaper less nice side of town for $350,000. He put about $40k in rehab and ended up renting monthly for $1500 master and $1000 each...

Granted MFH are more common in rougher parts of central jersey and my purchasing power can't acquire me something in North Jersey here homes are much more desirable when it comes to appreciation and schools and safety.

I have a duplex with one meter and I use a Sense (https://sense.com/) device to monitor the total KWH that the upstairs unit is using I then take the electric bill and split the bill up based on the amount of power drawn by the upstairs unit vs the total usage.

As Jeff’s first fix-and-flip, this deal showcased the power of teamwork, strategy, and smart renovations, leading to a fantastic outcome.

How can we keep our DTI low and maximizing our buying power?
