I wouldn't know where to go about finding other investors for a project like this even if I'm giving up equity.

From running so many comps we knew we could either break even day 1 or cash flow a little.

Well worth the money.

Betting on appreciation for the recapture of initial funds in this market with a refi may put you negative cash flow.

But, I am not sure if it's worth buying given I will likely be losing money yearly and only gaining equity.

I considered ordering the lender's inspection/appraisal, but this wasn't an option because the water and electricity are currently turned off, and HUD won't turn them back on until I have submitted earnest money of $2,000.

We spent money on the inspector, the appraiser, and the lawyer.

Only problem is, I’d like to get as much of my money out of it as possible.

I didn't start out here but I have learned more than I ever even know didn't know.

I am re-reading 'The book on Rental Property Investing' by Brandon Turner then going to re-read 'The Book on Investing In Real Estate with No (and Low) Money down' by Brandon Turner and 'Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat' by David Greene.
