New roof, siding, soffit, fascia, flooring upstair, repair fencing, yard work/landscaping, new flooring upstairs, new vanities, kitchen remodel, new paint job What was the outcome?

No chance the PM should go there ahead of time.

Aha yeah I dont really trust flippers to do the repairs correctly - Even with my own flip I was tempted to cheap out on it but you always pay for it in the end!

These are all very helpful, and I'm looking forward to the journey ahead :)

I generally pay on average 400-500/month a month for basic maintenance and repairs. 5200/year for property taxes. 5000/year for insurance.

Time is critical, especially in competitive markets.Clear Offer Terms - Present a firm offer with terms that make the seller feel confident that you can close fast, with minimal contingencies or proof of funds.Due Diligence Preparation - Have your financing lined up and know your repair/rehab costs in advance so you can move quickly without second-guessing.

But I feel I see some people grow rather rapidly. wasn't sure if they were using some sort of other method to get ahead. 

If it costs $500 to fill the oil tank and the tenant leaves it empty, that's $500 less you have to cover unpaid rent, cleaning, and repairs.

.🔴 Overly optimistic projections: Unrealistic ARV (after-repair value) or underestimated rehab costs can signal poor planning—or worse, a lack of transparency.🔴 Incomplete or disorganized documentation: Missing detailed plans, financial statements, or timelines could mean the borrower isn’t ready to execute the project successfully.🔴 Over-leveraged finances: Borrowers with excessive debt or insufficient personal capital invested in the deal could pose a greater risk of default.🔴 Questionable property comps: Overstated market values or inappropriate comparables may mean they’re inflating expectations.As always, thorough due diligence is your best protection.

Complexity in Management: Managing multiple properties as collateral can complicate financial situations, especially if one property is underperforming or requires significant repairs.3.
