Philip, it really depends on your county’s housing authority.

I think it depends on the individual and opportunity.

An FHA 203(k) loan is definitely one route, but there are other ways to make it happen that might even work better depending on your situation:1.Private or Hard Money Loans: These could be a good option if you want flexibility.

8%-11% is pretty standard here and as someone mentioned it really just depends on how the company is run.

This will all depend on how good of negotiator you are. 

Depends on the area.

Quote from @Malcolm Brown: My real estate agent provides listings (multi family homes).

They will take the permit fee and send an inspector that will provide some assurance that the work was performed correctly.

It certainly will help me to know what to provide for investors when the time comes. 

•For example, a listing with three price drops and 180 days on the market would be weighted less than one with 30 contacts, no price drops, and a quick removal after 30 days.3.Open Data:•Provide direct access to each comp’s details: price history, leasing schedules, photos, and even links to the original listing sites—all without leaving the platform.These three issues have been my biggest frustrations with current tools, and I’m building this out for internal use in my market.My questions to you:•Is this something you would want to see in your market?
