What is your ROI and the amount paid for a cost seg study?

If you can house hack, like @Nicholas L. said, that is ideal because you will need the least amount down to do it and can get the enjoyment and landlord experience out of it.

The really tough part would be finding a "traditional" lender to refinance after you fix it up.

Fixed it up, rented another room, refinanced a few times to lower the payments.

Also, the amount of creative financing going on pales in comparison to the amount of subprime lending pre-2008.

Maybe one way would be address the tiny home market would be to fix up the old cabins in these areas, make them energy efficient (most of these cabins were built for summer use only)  and market to people that want tiny homes.         

A point is 1% of the loan amount. 

In the same line of thinking, when you go to a doctor your first question should be how much do you charge, NOT, can you fix my illness.

It really comes down to what a person would like to do… New construction is not synonymous with no repairs or no fixes, infact some if not most of these new constructions are built poorly and require significant repairs.

In that case, my advice is to try to find a property as unique as possible as the competition for rentals is going to get even more intense given the huge amount of supply that's going to hit the market in the coming years.When it comes to Mexico, I'm first and foremost an investor.
