He still asks you for a small fee to make sure that you're a serious buyer and that you're gonna buy his offerings so he can get his fat commissions.

Come on mate, I’ve been in this game for way too long and I’ve seen the manipulation that goes on with many turnkey companies offering finance over the last 10 yearsAnd let’s not even get into the turnkey marketing sales companies pushing as many houses via financing just to get a fat commission on every property soldNot giving two dimes if an investor is solvent, and if they can afford it… 

I'm looking through the spreadsheet and I think it's worth mentioning that it's possible to spend a lot less for certain material items as well as labor in many cases depending on how frugal you want to beinterior door with hardware: $5-10 used, $30-50 newwindow: $10-50 used, $100-200 newlight fixtures: $1-10 used, 6 pack flushmount at lowes for $44fan fixture: $24-60 new water heater: $250 newtoilet: $50-90 newsink: $40-200 new faucet: $10-30 newtile: 0.49-2/sqft newappliance: $20-200 each appliance usedmy last rehab was:60 elec permit cost + 300 elec repair (tenant destroyed meter box causing house to be condemned)1600 material + 1500 labor flooring for 1400 sqft500 material + 600 labor spray paint whole house semigloss and patch some large holes$30 for 4 interior doors which I put in$10 mirror for bathroom$100 paint porch, stairs, and stair rail brown$50 fridge, $10 burner plates for stoveI also spent at least a few hundred with help on cleaning and taking out the trash and some other expenses here and there which altogether added up to about 5 thousand.I spent maybe 30 hours over there in total on the weekends.

And were so Tapped financially  we had no choice but to put it on a back burner, move into my inlaws basement, and loose our stability, security, and stash.
