If I could give anyone solid advice please learn to renovate houses in this market. The trick is to find a “wedge deal”. Essentially a home in a good area or neighborhood that most people don’t want to fix. Bathroom, flooring, cosmetic stuff, curb appeal etc. Stay away from roof issues if possible, HVAC, bad piping or cracked foundations (absolute nightmare for inspections when going to sell the home). Houses are selling 20% above market value and some of these deals are being sold 80-100k under market value because the house needs a ton of work. Get an uncle or a friend that knows this stuff or willing to learn and split down payment and utilities 50/50. If done mostly through labor and not outsources fixes you shouldn’t be spending more than 15k. Your outlook around a 1000-1800 square foot house should be 3-4 months to get done. Profit 30-60K and list everything under an LLC for “business expenses” to save on taxes. Thx for listening to TED talk
