Up (2 bed/ 1 bath)  and down (1 bed/1 bath) duplex located in a B-/C+ neighborhood in CincinnatiPurchase price: 147,500Estimated cost of rehab: 38,050ARV 215,000Rent-income: 2,045/monthCOC ROI: 7.75%My hesitations:1. 

How much does it cost to build either a 1-car or 2-car attached garage to an existing home in the Farmington Hills area.

After assessing the cost of remodeling, and either renting or selling the property weighed against the advantages of selling as is to a builder it seems to make more sense to sell it as is. 

It ultimately cost us almost $100,000.

Just another cost that a lender has to consider on a PERFORMING asset.

Its just a cost of doing business . 

The seller is willing to finance 50% of the cost and defer payments for 5 years.

I would get out of that note as soon as possible to avoid any further charges, 10% in extension cost is the most I've seen recently.

Ask about replacement cost versus Actual Cost Value.

If you focus too much on cash flow right now, from abroad, you are going to get more maintenance and more costs with it.
