People always need money to do deals.   

For example, some of the property might even be eligible for bonus depreciation, but whether or not you use it depends on your short- and long-term strategy and individual needs.

I try to read books on different kinds of realestate investing and house fliping and I do think that they are useful but the information never seems to have a correct fit.

I have $200k cash to deploy in the process, but would prefer to use that for a down payment on a home in the place where we’re moving (similar VHCOL area.)

The current mortgage rate is 4.375% and I want to avoid refinancing if possible. 

Then pivoted some units to MTR.

I recognize that the CoC return is not as high as we'd like, but it does come with some built in equity (~$100,000)Details:- 3/2 Single family house (1487 sq ft) with a 1/1 ADU out back- Zipcode 78745- Purchase price: $469,900- Down payment: $50,000 plus CC (includes assignment fee)- Seller Finance $419,900 at 3.5% interest; 30 year amortization with a 15 year balloon- PITI $2744.02- Rental comps: $2667 for the 3/2; $1505 for the 1/1 - LTR according to BP (Total $4172)- Repairs needed - minimal, coat of paint and maybe swapping a window unit A/C for a mini split

Outside of real estate, I enjoy being outdoors.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I listed my Airbnb on July 19th, marking it as ready to rent.

Where they were all looking at it as “$250,000 to fix it up”, I was looking at “how much to tear it down and subdivide”.
