The #1 reason tenants leave is because maintenance is not handled in a timely manner. 

After one bad experience in renovating one we have decided to avoid them in the future for the following reasons:- Difficult to access plumbing and HVAC- Difficult to wire electrical- Prone to foundation issues(Many in our area unfortunately have sustained foundation damage from an unusual earthquake we had here in VA about 5 years ago.)Bigger Pockets investors - What is your opinion / experiences with renovating and property managing slab houses?

The mission at UpCycle communities is to provide an affordable and minimalistic housing solution that empowers residents to emphasize strong community relationships, sustainability, and simplistic living.

Plus, hopefully by putting no money down, you'll have some liquidity to cover you in tough months.Long story short though, I'd sort if you can even use the loans in the manner that you appear to intend.

Is this sustainable until the temporary problems can be alleviated?  

I then realized why the seller was so quick to cancel my contract when, to the letter of the contract, I didnt secure financing in a timely manner.I learned many things, here are a few:- Just because I'm an ideal borrow for a SFH, primary residence, loan>$100k doesnt mean financing will be a cakewalk for another kind of property- Had I been able to procure the cash in a timely manner to purchase the entire property, I could have retained the deal and figured out the money later.

I've said it before on here - if I could go back in time, I would have lived in a van and ate Ramen noodles every night, saved every dime, bought my first SFH, lived in it while I fixed it up, put it up for rent, moved back into the van, repeat until the income from the houses became self-sustaining.

I do not prefer to calculate ROI in the manner described, or if I did (which I don't) then I would not consider it in isolation with other important variables that this calculation ignores.
