It also could limit your exit strategy if the market softensseeing a lot of fix and flippers in kc as an example getting crushed due to this

Its yet another example of govt trying to butt its way into something because they think there's money for them to grab. 

By way of example, a lender may charge retainage, only release soft costs upon C/O, may limit loans to a set number of draws or only allow draws once a certain dollar amount of work has been completed.

For example, in some cases even when the home is livable a seller might turn off utilities on a vacant house to save money.

So for example, a 761 credit score will be in the 760-779 credit category, then going down to 740-759 and so on.2.

First is, how much is needed to cashflow and what type of area is the property in where it could appreciate.For example, lets say you need $100,000 down payment to get it to cashflow $200/mo.

With fresh paint throughout inside and out, brand-new roof, dual HVAC systems, updated water heater, stainless steel appliances, lighting fixtures, outlets, countertops, and PEX plumbing just to name a few.

Tearing down any rooms that are a little wonky before the appraisal.For example, I bought a HUGE (3300 sqft) 3 bed house.

The first 2.5 hours were spend on introducing themselves, a lot of example to show how great their were and that a mysterious 25k course helped them achieve their financial freedom in 2 years.

Now for the house you are leaving behind…I like to have this one freshly painted, and take action on any maintenance items.
