That is about right for pricing, IMO this whole lead thing is a total scam, just and income generator for the city 

In particular, I'd suggest asking those folks about what types of challenges they encountered, lessons they learned, and mistakes they made with OOS REI ...It's a lot easier, safer, quicker, and cheaper to learn from other peoples' mistakes than to make your own...Good luck out there!

@Elijah Rotenberger Hey there, it's awesome to encounter another Kentuckian on BP!

Most jurisdictions require a GC if you're not the owner, and on a new build you'll need someone to be there for inspections, etc. which if you're flipping without a permit you probably haven't encountered that.

I have a no B.S policy when I work with contractors, because of the amount of scams / theft there is in the industry.

I house hacked with 4 roommates (at one point split my bedroom and had a 5th roommate) and it wasn't fun, came home and had to deal with issues, fixed problems, had some awkward/difficult encounters, but it was all part of the process and well worth it. 

Anthony and his crew were the most knowledgeable counselors and negotiators that I have ever encountered.

Any other blinds spots I'm missing, or ways tenant can get away scamming out of paying rent?

And you do not somehow 'know" our guidelines that the property and valuation is somehow eligible - thats not a all how lending works.It is also ridiculous that you are claiming somehow that we are "buying facebook reviews" then citing scam bitcoin reviews as fake (why would we buy these spam comment reviews).Stop embarrassing yourself - and again, if you keep doing this publicly we will be forced to take action
