@Gp G.

For huntsville, I have come up with a rough way of estimating the classes for neighborhoods, I had posted it on some other discussion in huntsville forum. Let me find that link.

Yes, its a modest rehab since I was not flipping it, I wanted to rehab it enough to make sure I hit my target ARV. Rental increase was not my main goal for the rehab, my main goal was to increase the ARV.

Okay so basically it's 1.0 rent ratio to achieve 1.1 rent ratio, from the rental perspective the rehab looks modest.

@mary Ann E Wdell
I stay in Bay Area California and I have not seen this property my self. So all the buying and rehab management was done completely remote! :) For material, I used local vendors for eg flooring, roof shingles etc were all purchased locally. There were few items like fans and lights that I purchased through amazon rest all was from Home Depot and other local suppliers.

The place looks great! I think it's great that you realized that you were able to add square footage to the property. It proves that there are still good deals out there. I also like the idea that you partnered with someone for supplies. That's a good idea.

I'm curious how far away you live from this project? How did you select the local labor and supplies. Do you have local contacts to give you recommendations?

Maybe around 1300-1450 range. Why do you ask that though? I mean do you want to know if could have rented it as is? I think could but then I could not have gotten the forced appreciation. Hope that answers your question.

my question is what's the *actual* rent price if you don't put the rehab ? is it $1900, $1500 or even unrentable ?

I did not understand your question.
