First off, talk to your network—family, friends, or potential private lenders who might be on board with your vision.

I know looking for appreciation is generally speculative but since I first offered on this property a month ago (made a second offer Saturday and got it under contract today) property prices in the area this is in have gone up by close to $40,000 across the board.

The April 2024 market report from the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) shows that the median home price in the City of Austin rose by 6% to $593,500 over the past 12 months.

If the markets across the board fail.  

We have been in the Smokies a long time, and many guest accidents, some of them life threatening over the years, could have been avoided with an annual risk management walk-thru:- Loose or rotting steps- Nails poking up through deck boards- Stinging insect hives or infestations- Ceiling fans that are barely hanging on- Loose deck, stair, and landing railings- And oh, about a hundred other things!

Start writing the following and put up in a board.1.  

In most markets, drywall labor per board foot is 3x-4x what materials are. 

Louis properties with boarded-up windows and listings asking for cash offers with no contingencies.

If they did not pay, they would take them to the rental board fairly quickly. 

I've had 3 propertys ready to flip,  in which we only have to pay a % of the already discounted price as the seller will exit according. yet they can't creatively on board me with 3 of the very deals they & I will be doing ???????
