Rehab a home

Idea summary: This is risky, but the payoff is huge.  Search for a small home in a neighborhood that has stable increase of value over the last 5 years.  The home should need cosmetic work only.  Be sure to consult an agent with experience in real estate investing to help you with the potential value.  Even if the home is sold as-is and the owner would not make any repairs upon problems found in a building inspection, ask to have 10 days for inspections with an opportunity to cancel the contract if latent defects, beyond your ability to repair, are found.

Potential Increase: You'll need to factor in the cost to list and sell the home, along with the costs of cosmetic repairs, mortgage payments until you sell, insurance and taxes and several unexpected costs that always come up after your purchase. 

The home's potential value should exceed all of the above plus the purchase price of the home.  If you purchase a home for $80,000, spend $15,000 to fix-it-up, $6,500 sales commission to sell it, 4 months of mortgage payments (PITI) at $700/mo ($2,800), 10% for unexpected issues ($800) and sell at $130,000 your return on your investment would be:

$24,900 (before taxes)

Note: You will need to dedicate every extra minute you have to working on the home in order to get it done and sold within 4 months.  Every extra month is an extra payment.  Consider that, along with the unexpected repairs beyond the $15,000 and any sub-contracted work to get your profit .  There is no way to know all the expenses, but this should give you an idea.  It's a risky business and not for everyone.  But, the payoff is huge!
