Fast solutions have slow problems.

Sounds like a title problem..

. $50kProfit roughly $100kThat project was in Bucktown on the nw side of Chicago.No problem.

If they don't know where they are going, no matter what else you talk about, you aren't buying that house unless you can solve the problem of where they are going.The most colossal mistake in all off-market acquisition is that people use the same dumb scripts for all sellers and they almost always talk about a cash offer.

That's also what the lender told me, it would take too long and thus make me as a buyer less competitive once we're in UW. well just pay cash and refi.. that would solve your issues.

Slowly build out a repeatable process...if you continue to change things (as in different types of properties, different levels of renovation, different finish material, different neighborhoods, etc.) you create more variables and make it harder to solve to the problem.I am a math guy and less unknowns/variables you have the easier the problem will be to solve. 

If an asset is throwing off a certain yield that is not commiserate with it's risk, then investors will then begin paying more for that asset, thus decreasing it's yield....or start paying less for the asset which would increase it's yield, until it was at the proper risk/return rate to produce the yield that is truly reflective of it's risk.The problem is novice real estate investors get the risk/reward correlation backwards.
