Or should i flip the property and continue to roll the money into more properties and hopefully accelerate appreciation by improving the housing stock that is currently here?

If you’re making a few hundred $$ now, and will continue to after the Reno, why sell a cash flowing property?

- you typically say "I'm a real estate investor" and then continue to qualify that with how you locate and acquire / syndicate multifamily properties with outside investor money. 

Should I put the 23k on our homes principle for 6 months and then Heloc for first deal or just continue to save and heloc for less in six months?  

Hi All,There is a Project HUD property in Ohio market that I have my eye on which I know has lost its status due to continued low REAC (annual inspection) scores.

What’s the proper way to continue this conversation?

They would simply get 50% of the cash flow and equity growth.

If you can get the area designated as an area for potential growth you might be able to get some public support in your efforts.If you are trying to do this on your own you might try speaking to the owners of the properties in the area and start getting options on a number of properties so you can have a few properties that you could buy at once.

You cannot continue to charge the old tenant rent while collecting rent from the old tenant. 

The last few years I've been seeing great results with simply index investing (which I'm still continuing in multiple IRA accounts) so I guess part of the motivation for real estate was to diversify a little bit  (in addition to the REIT holding I have).
