Switching the utilities into their name without safeguards in place—knowing the tenant might act out—seems like a misstep on their part.While it’s true you’ll ultimately have to cover the cost, it doesn’t feel entirely fair for you to shoulder the consequence of their decision.

Since this approach relies primarily on true documentation rather than estimates, it is typically the most accurate.

Challenges?

So true.

Hey @Reeti Peshawaria, so this is always a challenge when you have a whole country to decide from.

With actual cash, you just transfer it. yes, but you can still bid with lender approval - without appraisal contingency - you send in deal (app), it gets approved by lender its functionally the same as cash (except in true lightning speed situations where there is a quick auction with little time to prep but thats generally pretty rare I'd think)Right, but that's not cash or functionally the same as cash because the lender can change the terms at the last minute, as often happens with less experienced hard money lenders.

The volatility of Austin's RE market also presents challenges.

But more importantly ask for their rate sheet, if they can provide it, to understand, what the true interest rate is, the lenders spread, and the cost for that rate.More than likely if a broker is using the same wholesaler, it is because collectively, that lender is offering the most competitive rate.

Two things are true at the same time. 1.
