What constitute a good criteria and why?

I generally use a 3-yr payback for these decisions.In my area the improvements constitute a large portion of the valuation for the property.Which companies have you worked with for these services and what was your experience?

Hi, great advice above, but as to Mike M, in many places charging rents weekly or anything other than monthly may constitute a zoning violation.

And, by the way, using an option to buy the contract rights under a sale contract...well, I can't see where financing that option price constitutes an installment purchase agreement for real estate as viewed under the FAST Act, anyone catching that?

There are different thresholds and tests for sales tax, income tax, property taxes and other taxes.What constitutes "doing business" is a legal definition defined by each state.

What constitutes a lead?

."-"..the exact definition of what constitutes fraud continues to evolve."-"....lenders are consistently incurring more loss than necessary if a short sale transaction was part of an egregious flip..."

I do agree with Tom that the government will simply spend this money too unless there is some balanced budget amendment to The Constitution or some such.

Jeff you are right using an FHA mortgage requires owner occupancy and to attempt to flip the property or do a lease option prior to the seasoning period would constitute fraud.

The impact of this would arguably go down as assets producing income constitute a greater portion of total earnings.
