Workarounds for Established FlippersFor seasoned flippers, AB 968 presents an inconvenience rather than an impediment.

Hi @Charwak Gummalla,Most Lenders have a 3 or 6-month seasoning period so depending on how you purchased the property you should be ok.

Your post, and its content, appear to all be quite honest, which is, in itself, is a remarkable revelation in today's society and much appreciated.My main problem, being both older and retired, is getting around the technology involved today and I have found several people who appear to be able to get a site up and running for me and get me front page Google rankings.

Linda,Welcome to the BP forum, it's one of the bes REI sites right now loaded with seasoned investors and seasoned professionals able to help with every angle. 

Not sure what state you are, but here your lease wouldn't be "void"  Anything that conflicts with the code would be (landlord-tenant code supersedes leases in DE anyway)I would just say you had them sign an older version of your lease in error and need them on the current one.

Just make sure to include a buffer (about 10-15%) for unexpected costs, especially if you’re working on an older home.

I would only hire out for major work I can't do myself or emergency repairs.I've dealt with older houses before and the house may be fine for occupants but there's still usually lots of things that can be fixed / improved so it seems a house that isn't perfect would give more opportunities for ongoing maintenance of this sort.To me it seems fairly straightforward to meet the time requirements but I think I need to have extensive documentation?

Part of me wants to turn down the application due to the concerns around this criminal history, the other side of it is it is a tough market currently and slow season ahead and insisting on rejecting the application would likely create serious rifts with my property managers (whom I have generally been fine with otherwise) as they are pushing back on rejecting due to criminal history from years ago.  

Welcome Scott,There's a ton of useful resources here on Bigger Pockets from calculators designed to show profit/loss to seasoned investors giving advice.
