First offer submitted!
Just placed my first offer for a fix and flip! Excited and scared out of my mind at the same time.... ahhhhh. Now its a waiting game. I'm assuming that I should use the time between ratification (fingers crossed) and settlement to line up contractors (have 1 that walked the property with me, but would like to get a couple more). Any other tips/advice that anyone has that should be done during the time of ratification and closing?
