I found the info I was looking for, but unfortunately wasn’t able to work out a deal to date.

@Riley Shea hey Riley, I work out of Augusta, GA but we have an office in Chattanooga.

I have also started looking at understanding how to invest using an SDIRA and how things work out.

Based of your brief description of your scenario and preferences, I would say that BRRR, especially out of state, is not the right play for you as it will certainly be one of the more time intensive options.Syndication by it's nature is a partnership with someone who has sweat equity.

You need to find RE that has enough upside that you can hire the work out and still make a profit that you can live on. 

I would love to keep it as a rental but I don’t think the numbers would work out.

Assuming the numbers work out in your analysis. 

This is only the beginning of the beginning, unless we can stop it by strict lockdown and intense contact tracing - and we haven't done either yet.

It was my first deal and I spent a week or 2 crunching the numbers to make sure this house was going to work out.

Laminate flooring is going to be much more expensive and labor intensive but will last longer .
