Wholesalers are going to have to be legal honest and perform if they want to get a deal done.The rule about non licensed appraising is huge. 

I do not use a property management service to advertise and have always used Zillow to advertise, previous references, housing records, credit checks etc

If the ARV has risen to $260k and you’re renting it out for $2900/month, you can likely qualify for a higher loan amount.Here are some key points to consider:Loan-to-Value (LTV): A typical DSCR refinance will allow you to borrow up to 75-80% of the property’s ARV, so for a $260k property, you might qualify for a loan of $195k to $208k, which could help pull out most or all of your original investment.Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): Since you're renting for $2900/month, the loan payment will need to be covered comfortably by that rent.

I know of one particular loan program in Columbus (I'd need to see if they service Dayton) that offers 0% down for owner-occupants.

On the other hand, a detailed quote with a higher total may offer more transparency and reduce the risk of surprises as the project progresses.I specialize in consulting services for situations like this, where I help clients evaluate contractor quotes, ensure transparency, and navigate the renovation process with confidence.

But generally speaking with the new landlord rules etc I wont fund occupied houses whether at auction or non Auction I want them vacant before we fund them.

Recently it has gone non-performing and is over the four month mark.

Bill her for the service call if they are no issues with furnace.

I suggest using a service like Mayistay.
