.• Understanding the rehab budget draw process: After you close on a rehab loan, your rehab budget is not handed to you at closing.

A good broker remains transparent throughout the process, providing regular updates on loan applications, lender responses, and any emerging challenges.

Favorable Zoning: Griffin’s “MDR in-fill” zoning allows for smaller homes on compact lots without the need for variances, simplifying the building process.

Not sure what the process would be.This is kind of what I'm looking at (with a 7% interest rate):Its not really negative cash flow, its saying $143/month.

Getting all corrections made at once and an expedited fashion, for example city asked for 10 things to be corrected by designer, get plans back get all corrections made within one to two days (this is a slow process at times, sometimes this is one of the biggest time killer).

You tied up 70k and a minimum of 6 months just to go through this process. 

I suspect the ROW did not want to get in an argument with you and just kind of went along with your thought process all the while knowing there is no way they are going to agree to your terms in writing. 

But before this purchase I informed well, and I found a lot of useful information here: https://www.a1autotransport.com/auto-transport-financing/ related to shipping, how the whole process is going, etc.

Ironically, platforms designed for real estate (Zillow, Apartments.com, Rentler, etc.) produce very few tenants for me, compared to FB Marketplace (and I also find a lot of their functionality to be user un-friendly, from the landlord side). ...you'd think that platforms custom-made for real estate would make the process a snap for landlords, but it takes me a lot longer to post and manage rental listings on Zillow or Rentler than it did on Craigslist.

On Page 134, he lists the following when analyzing a deal:Sales Price: $132,490.00Sales Expenses: $17,000.00Loan Balance: $55,004.72Total Invested Capital: $35,950.00Profit: $24,535.28I agree with his thought process here when he calculates net profit, but I'm trying to verify the net profit by adding up all the sources of income over the past five years in his example by doing the following:Appreciation over five years=$12,490 (see chart on Page 133).Cash flow ($297.73x12x5)=$17,863.80 over five years.Loan paydown: ($60,000-55,004.72)=$4,995.28 over five years.Sales Expenses are still $17,000.Doing the math, profit= $12,490+$17,863.80+$4,995.28-$17,000=$18,349.08There is a $6,186.20 difference from the net profit he calculates.My question is: Is this $6,186.20 difference due to the forced appreciation gained in the property from the rehab he does in this example?
