- Does the "final inspection within 1 day of closing" replace my initial inspection contingency?

Initial Tenanting Time – ie the first time a house is rented after rehab is completeAvg.

I would initially travel to the area for a couple weeks to meet and assemble a dependable team.

The initial cost can be high, but no maintenance or water costs afterward.Good luck with your project! 

My initial thought is to do a HELOC loan and pull out enough to do a flip and then rinse and repeat with the profit from that.

Generally, since we set our initial break even at 65%, our future buildings only require a 35% occupancy to break even. 

Stop turning it on me and actually answer what I asked in the initial post about how to professionally turn them down now.

However, four sessions of small talk with strangers is very awkward for me.

The house needed more work than I initially thought—especially when we discovered the entire plumbing system had to be replaced from top to bottom.
