The open houses I attended for flips recently - their  costs were around $300,000 for a major renovation  in 2024.

I attended one of Kris' free webinars and even got on a call with one of his reps.

Names Christian, I’ve, been doing real estate investing for bout a year now, worked on my first property which wasn’t the best ideal situation, but it was an amazing learning experienced that I wouldn’t trade, made a lot of mistakes that after all the classes and events i have attended i am learning where i went wrong, and really in need of a coach to help guide me in the right direction, i do have a game plan in place and the goal i want to reach  just need to be helped its a path.

I agree with other responses here, and to piggyback on them it seems everyone plans to 'own forever' when they sign a 30 year lease or finance term, and then things change (job, relationship, life events, etc) and folks try to sell the property with 25-28 years left.Banks do not look at power bills when determining DTI, but they will look at a solar loan/lease. 

But this typically isn't the sequence of events since it seems like you are going to be installing new LVP , so have the contractor repair the soft spot first then install the LVP. 

And you can start small, buy an old camper, cut a big window, spray paint it black and brown, add some wood trim and sell coffee outside events.
