@Curt Davis ok I can see the difference. That being said I assume the 6% is the minimum down payment for certain FHA programs?

@Curt Davis thanks for the clarification. Is there a difference or benefit of offering 6% of their closing costs as opposed to reducing the sale price?

@Chris Syrett Thats a pretty good profit for your first flip. Like you said you can only read and research so much before you have to get some skin in the game. Do you plan on doing any of the work yourself to control the Reno costs?

@Curt Davis what does the 6% closing Assistance cover?

@Brandt Tingen I have two properties in the Poconos, one is a full time rental and the other is a vacation/seasonal rental. They are both in private communities with plenty of amenities to offer all year round. Send me a pm and we can discuss further, I also have a reliable property manager  and real estate agent.

 I wouldn't neccasarily consider the 1/4" "floating" bottom of the draw a "joint", that being said....What's the harm in glueing those pieces in?
