I'm trying to maximize my margin and evaluating whether or not to hire a property manager.

If you want to scale flips in Dayton, the fastest move is tightening your buy box and knowing your numbers cold before you walk a house.On a basic flip, I like to see at least 15 to 20 percent margin after purchase, rehab, holding and selling costs.

With 90 rentals already, scale for scale’s sake probably isn’t worth thin margins and 24 more tenants.

There's cheaper builds but people don't do them much because the margins get thinner in neighborhoods like that.

The two business models I generally hate ae remote investing are low margin flips and lower cost rentals.

At a 35 to 40% marginal rate, the tax savings are $70K to $82K in year one.

Hard money or private money isn’t “bad,” but as a first deal you want clean numbers and margin for error.

I'll look at the photos more; what order specifically? 

I've got a few options for it, they evaluate the deal, if the comps are right and the margin is good, you can usually get 100% LTV. 

The value of the land is also important is it free and clear have a note to run a proper CMA/ARV and figure out your margins.
