They can be notoriously picky about the stupidest of things.

Trouble with this is, contractors are notoriously unreliable.

Don't let your excitement and determination to get a deal funded blind you to the notorious red flags of so called Private Money Lenders.

The City of Rancho Cordova is NOTORIOUS for it.Thing is, the Sacramento market took a beating during the recession (as did most markets), and a lot of low quality and out of country landlords came in and swooped up properties for dirt cheap and then managed them like crap.So, the city is making an effort to clean up the riff-raff.

CA is notorious for claiming every single thing their residents do regardless of location, and just not sure if NY is that bad about it.

Although I do shoot you some advice on avoiding one of the most notorious bad actors in the entire industry.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

**Canton has a notorious paper mill downtown that produces an odor almost 24-7 that usually travels north-east across town unless a weather pattern turns it to the south, but in general, people vacationing here for the lower prices are displeased.

Also let me qualify my response by saying that none of the deals have materialized as Wholesellers are notoriously known to overestimate ARV and underestimate repairs. 

Be ready to rewire the building properly, if inspection comes back that it will be needed.On the plumbing side, 1920's plumbing used iron pipes, which are notorious for rusting which clogs the pipes reducing water pressure at the point of use (ie, the faucet).

I’d connect with your lender and see.Also, zestimate is notoriously off on evaluating ARV’s.
