FYI my market would be Miami and I’ve already been pre-approved from my lender.My first option is buying an investment property, I’m very interested in the BRRR method, either as section 8 or regular rental property.

From there, if its truly a duplex (2 units on 1 parcel) then you should be able to get regular conventional financing.

I can't tell you how good it made me feel to deliver milk, eggs, water and bread to a woman with 5 kids on oxygen as she was about to walk down to the store.

What works one place may not work another.Now the idea you talk about is just a regular sale. 

It's way too much money for a regular rehab even with the addition of the second floor.

Often a regular home inspector knows to keep an eye out for this and can alert you to mold or likely presence of mold, and then you can get an inspection/test for that specifically as a follow up.Normally I would say you should absolutely be present for the inspections, both to ask questions and for your own personal real estate education.

I do this regularly for my clients here in Chicago when they are doing a cash out refinance.

Move to Dayton, store all the necessary furniture, and rent out a motel at monthly rates.Year Two (Buy My First Multi) Attend the local REI and network.

Tenantcloud features - all property details are stored in one location - allows me to manage all “equipment” within a unit so I have details of the make and model of all of the appliances in one place.- tenants can pay rent and submit maintenance requests- even if the tenant calls or texts me they get automatic emails about their maintenance request when I submit it. - I can set reminders such as furnace filters etc. - I can share all lease information and documents with the tenant through the platform- I can list my properties. - I am using the accounting since it is wrapped into the platform but I think it is a little clunky so far.

I am settled in the Knoxville area and work at the one of (if not the) largest Building Materials and Hardware Supply stores in the area and have a great knowledge of the homebuilding/repair process, as well as the handyman/construction skills to do essentially anything in terms of rehabbing.
