There has to be an "insider" way, because the deal would be lost if it gets to all these web sites, am I correct?

Big thanks and much appreciation to Mindy Jensen and the BP team for correcting this issue so quickly.

Is correct once again. 

Without any changes and 100% financing, I think the properties should net positive cash flow.That all said, what I do know is that I don't really know if my thinking is correct.

So now I would be getting taxes on 1000 dollars, instead of the 2000 that the business actually made, correct?

Also I hope they would benefit another less experienced investor someday looking to do a burned house.First I would like to ask how you got your numbers. 105000 ARV may be correct for that area, but at $63/ft it seems a little low.

In other words, I want someone who has:  a) done it before; b) can guide me in the details of it all; c) can provide me/us with the correct order in which to proceed.  

Hi James,You're correct.  

If done correctly, all of this should come from your 3.5% down payment and a little sweat equity, and you could be collecting cash money every month if you are smart with the purchase (you make your money when you buy the property).  

Yes, there are building codes for the width and rise of a staircase.Any good/licensed contractor should be able to measure and tell you where you're at and how to correct if necessary
