My plan is to rehab this residential home I recently purchased, cash out refi- then use the profit from that home to finish up the church property that I  acquired and run a business out of that property.

.- Condos are typically closer to very busy areas like city centers (while single family and multi-family are further away / in suburbs) which, in the case of a buy-hold-rent strategy, means that the investor will have more traffic / demand.- Smaller properties are usually easier to off-load (more liquid) because our society is seeing very high levels of migration (people travelling or moving for work constantly) / people less inclined to partner / have families / people more focused on work / and pied-a-terre concept.- Condos are much easier to maintain internally than larger homes.- Condos are easier to manage as Air B&B than larger homes.- In the case of multi-family properties, sharing a home with two or three other families where everyone knows everyone can create issues if they don't get along as the close proximity doesn't allow for any privacy.Happy to connect with you and speak in more detail if you are interested in Massachusetts!

This is what I did in my business.

I actually live outside of Coachella Valley; I just run my business there.

A lot of risk buying a property without inspecting the interior. 

But you say you’r busy with your family and I assume job.

But a good place to start is by figuring out what a rough price per square foot cost would be in your area for a unit turn, cosmetic, and full gut renovation.Here in Chicago unit turn might run $15-25/SF, Cosemtic $45-65. and full renovation $90-$110 of interior renovations only.Hopefully this at least steers you in the right direction.

@Anthony GaydenI believe if you are green and just learning the RE business, you should start locally.  

Has anyone done business with an Infinity Investing real estate partner called Alpine Capital Solutions?
