I checked out that house.

It's not that I have zero cash, just not enough on hand to close the deal on my own.Purchase Price: $275kRehab Cost EST: $130-$150kARV: $550k-575kLake Front house w/dock (a huge incentive on this lake)I have a little over $30k available but don't want to drop much lower but also hate to miss out on this opportunity.
