If it doesn't sell in a reasonable time frame Owner Finance might be useful to Seller to get it off their books. 

@Rich CavanaghHi Rich,I think because a lot of people don't really do a projection of Rents and Expenses, they don't really know that if your Expenses INCREASE MORE than your RENT, you can still wind up Increasing your Cash Flow.Look at this example spreadsheet as an example:The Gross Rent is only increasing by 3% annually for 10 years.The Expenses are increasing by 5% per year for 10 years.BUT, because the Gross Rents are so much higher than the Expenses, about 5 times higher, a small increase in Gross Rents is larger than a "Larger Increase in Expenses."

I don't favor products that greatly vary in 5 year time frame. 

Many people who bought in the 2004-2008 timeframe went through foreclosure.

Have you provided a letter with damages in the time frame required by law in your state? 

A general ballpark range is good enough.2) recos for good, inexpensive companies for this job.If all goes as planned, I hope to break ground by the end of the month.Thanks,Randy

The Buy:Offering $15k below asking price ($170k) on a wholesale deal would make some people a bit wary of ‘pissing off’ the person selling it. I figured I would go for it, worst case scenario the wholesaler hates me. ...

Do not waste money on a shed (at this current house) and use the money to invest in an inexpensive truck and tow equipment from house to house? 

What will you change on your next flip to decrease the renovation timeframe?

A friend told me there may be a way to defer capital gains taxes if purchasing a home within a certain time frame.
