There's no debt on the property.The idea is to leverage the equity on the house to tear down the existing and build a 6-8 unit family which would bring the house value to at least $5,0M (similar apartments are being rented for ~$3,800).We want to keep the property for cash flow and use the equity that was created and refi to fund more deals, generate more income, and so forth.The problem is we have very little cash and basically need to finance 100% of this deal.This project will roughly cost between $1,5M to $2M depending on what we do (which would be ~30% ABV).Also, we would need some money to keep their expenses throughout the entire project which could take at least 16 months.I have run multiple scenarios and even with the most conservative assumptions, it shows that the project is feasible.

The way the income or loss generated from the property will be treated for income tax purposes depends on what you do for full-time work, how much money you make and other factors.

The 100k is based on the tax collectors @John @John Underwood yes, my wind policy does have rental loss coverage, but they immediately denied me because I had a roof exclusion due to it being a flat roof and the damage was mainly done by flood.
