When to begin to work in a foreclosure flip ?

[Patricia Vildozo]

Hello BP members , Past Friday, I bought a foreclosure home with hard money financing , classic 12% interest with 10% down. The house needs a lot of work and I'm eager to begin to work on it. As this is a HML, I'll be paying $90+ per day. I have been told that is better to begin to work on it after recording which in my county takes three to four weeks, this is $ 2000+ to the HML pocket and an untouched house . How do you sort this type of issue when buying this type of properties ? I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter P.S it seems that it has clear title

If you've got clear title and insurance, I'd say... game on.

'Round these parts, there are counties that take (no joke) months to record a title. It's not unusual for us to have to take a copy of the HUD1 to the county permit dept. to prove we own the house so they can issue a permit to us.
