If the property is going down in value more than $4,000 a year I wouldn’t buy if it was cashflowing $500/mo. 

They can still be a great tool for BRRRR deals (at least the first few) as long as you don't mind the seasoning, can qualify based on personal income (w/ two years history), and don't mind vesting in your personal name.  

What's interesting about this is the use of the word speculators, because if there's a quantifiable increase in value based on changes made to a property based on mathematics and past personal experience, is it really still speculation?

Brandon,This is invaluable, thank you. 

The cost was ~$2 per hour and it sounds like a good tool to implement in our business.
