My wife and I have done all the terms (short, mid, long term rentals) and have done some live in flips.

We estimate the project will take less than 3 months to complete.I’m exploring alternative short-term financing solutions and would appreciate any advice or recommendations on options that might work well for this type of project.Thank you in advance for your insights and assistance!

Don’t get trapped in the learning phase for too long—take initiative, even if it’s just one small step at a time.

Sorry this is so long. 

As far as the bedbug cost, I would consider how long you are willing to let the place sit empty. 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

They also have a home vacancy tax in a lot of areas which applies to short term rentals. 

I know this was a long time ago but could I get a copy as well?

If it's an easy cosmetic deal I wouldn't sweat over it too much as long as major items look good - plumbing, electrical, foundation, roof, HVAC, zoning, etc.This is why for first timers it's a lot easier to go with on-market or off-market sourced with an agent than wholesalers.

To newer investors, they may rely on their agents to act as the Chief Investment Officer, effectively thinking the agent will bring them only perfect deals that meet their investment objectives.
