I would do nothing with it right now as the cost to borrow it is too expensive and real estate returns have been compressed.

So having said all that, properties that attract high quality tenants (location, location, location) cost more and have lower returns.

Or a $500K property with a rehab budget of $200K and $35K for carrying costs and an ARV of $1M.

We have had Bad deals, that we still made a lot of money on, because of our financial analysis and looking at potential cost over runs, occupancy slippage, locked in interest rate, and market rate slippage.

Take the selling price $750k, deduct selling costs ($50k?)

I have been trying to gather as much information as possible and make sure that I don't make any costly mistakes right off the bat.
