I have a bit of a background in finance, but I'm still in the process of spending some time educating myself on the foundations of having success in real estate investing. 

Danielle,We would be happy to assist.

I have spend many hours working on this house.

Reach out to @Keven Vanegas he may be able to assist you with property management. 

Let me know if I can be of assistance.

@Brian Garrett it does sound like a good alternative to an HML the only thing I would be curious about is if you have $100k cash  I would assume the project would need to be 100% financed because if you spent any of your own money your limit would go down $5 for every $1 you spend. 

Welcome Neil happy to network and assist .  

I will spend the rest of this week finding a way to better estimate those.Also, thank you for pointing out the 3% appreciation.  

As an example, you could take a 5 year Lease Option, spend a year fixing up the property and then Lease Option to a buyer for a date that is less than what remains on your Option.

It depends on what needs to be done and how much time you're spending doing it.
