Properties like that are great, once you have your money back, who cares if it never appreciates, or even goes down in value, you can collect all that flow, and with a low initial investment you should be able to atleast get the $33K back, but if not you can always donate it to habitat for the tax benefit if you need to get rid of it. there are so many strategies,  and to say one or another is wrong or bad is ridiculous, every investor has different requirements, and if it works for them i say Great!!!

You’ll also have some luck from time to time at habitat for humanity storesGood luck with everything

Habitat gets wayfair furniture returns in some areas and the furniture is new and reasonably priced. 

A renter should already be paying toward maintenance, the issue is paying the $1,000 deductible for a new roof, paying $1,500 for the busted furnace, it's the ability to cover unforeseen large expenses with ownership.The ability to pay in financing includes these aspects as opposed to qualifying a tenant.You may not be aware that the SAFE Act exempts non-profit housing organizations like Habitat for Humanity.

So I figured I shared some of my ideas on how I learned some of the DYI skills. 1) Volunteer at Habitat for Humanity.

I bought it in bulk. 3) Remove habitat and cover.

I heard that on Dave Ramsey's radio show yesterday WHILE waiting for Habitat for Humanity (Jimmy Carter's baby) to come pick up a large load of building products from a client's house.

I am sure they could use people with REI experience and you could learn a ton in the process.https://www.dallasnews.com/news/news/2018/01/12/habitat-humanity-convert-shipping-containers-homes-affordable-housing-mckinney

I have confidence in my project management abilities - I mean, habitat for humanity builds houses with volunteers, how hard is it?
