Originally posted by Randal D: comps in area run about 155K (need more comps however)instead of seeing what's being sold retail, check to see what's been foreclosing in the immediate area and I'll bet you that you'll find that the comps don't come near that amount.

Well, I bet you didn’t make more than I did! 

I think offering both is probably your best bet, but as an owner there is comfort in believing your tenant intends to stay for 12 months.

Are you betting on property appreciation or are you cash flowing?

@David Forester, it'll be interesting to see, but @Eddie Lehwald has a lot of timing issues, and based on the 10-1 city council's voting record, my bet is that they're looking to preserve the inner neighborhoods and promote density on the outskirts.

I could be off a little but I bet that's close after watching these wholesale posts the last 3 years I have been on BP. my 3 year anniversary is middle to end of FEB this year.

I'm a member of the Facebook group for the club and I'd love to come to a meeting but I work on Tuesday's so chatting on here is my best bet for now.

If there are $2500 in materials, an ok bet is to factor $5000 total for the work.

Which one provides a safer bet for cash flow and stable renters?  

It is always safer to do a cash out refinance after you have completed your 1031 Exchange.
