If it didn't pay my bills, I wouldn't have the time to give them vital information because I have to eat.We live in a capitalist society, and we each survive by providing some type of information, service, or product that will help someone accomplish something, and we do it for a fee.

Figure AT LEAST 6% selling costs, that's average commission, plus you'll have some associated selling/closing costs.Now you're down to $228K on a cost of $209, minus your negative cash flow and you're probably better off going to Vegas and putting it all on RED.all cash

Nonethelss my budget is a little over, but I have peace of mind I'm turning out a solid finished product someday soon.

Now you may need to adjust your ARV lower than the market average so yours will sell in a reasonable amount of time, but the opportunity is still there.

The average person is way below average.2.

I have resources that the average person doesn't.

I prefer to take an average sold price per square foot of the area for the last 12 months and work off of this data as my standard.

They give you zoning information, a complete financial history on the property including all sales,refinancing and transfers, tax data, and the product I use the most, is the comparable search.

Doesn't trying to fix one's credit at the same time you're paying a large rent seem counter productive to you?

I can't wait to take pics of the finished product.
