Selling mid-flip. Why?
So I'm finding several properties on my local MLS where it looks like a rehabber has purchased a property, did the demo work, cleaned it up, put on new siding, exterior windows, sometimes a new roof, framed out the structure, and now are advertising it for sale at this point. The only reasons I can think of why someone would do this is A: They realized they are way over budget and are heading for a loss, they want to recoup their investment and move on, leaving someone else to deal with it. or B: they are catering to designer investors who just want to put their finishing touches and design on the property without having to the nasty demo work and such. Is it 1 of these two reasons or am I missing something?
