I'm wondering if there are any paths to a quick sale in the commercial real estate world?I've inherited a commercial property and have been dealing with it for the last year and really don't enjoy it.  My family has d...

Things not even related to the house itself can come into play - how is the neighborhood, do you know what your taxes and insurance are going to be, will it need flood insurance, how is the foundation, the roof, the AC, the plumbing, the electrical - things you can't always tell from pictures.As a general rule for myself, if I can't make $50,000 on a flip property, it's not for me... and usually I'm actually looking for closer to $100,000 (net) after reno.to be happy and know that if my rehab runs high, or my sales price runs a little low I will still be ok.  

There are no REIAs anywhere near my area, and I would like to get some insight and a different perspective on what methods can be used, scaling, financing, etc. 

Items such as HVAC, plumbing issues (i.e. leaky cast iron drain pipes), etc., can be paid out of that account.

Your reserves would cover that, barely, but then landscaping is not covered, appliance repairs, plumbing repairs, HVAC repairs, roofs, gutters, kitchen remodels, etc.  

My medium-term goal is to own and rent 10-15 properties in the next 5 years with this method.

For quick and dirty method, apply the 50% rule for expenses.If this is a distressed asset, give them a cap rate before and after stabilization.

Another alternative for new construction homes would simply be the "advanced framing method".

House hacking, seller financing, subject-to, flipping, wholesaling are just a few methods that come to mind.

Plumbing, electricity, heating and air - all of that stuff needs using or it give problems from sitting idle too long.Your insurance needs to be specific for vacation rentals.
