If there are damages, chances are you will never see the money to fix them. 

@Roy Jenkins probably best to get a fix-and flip hard money loan. 

hi guys,I have saved a 20% downpayment a property but struggling to save the remaining 65K for fixing the property up.Example, the property cost 150K, I saved up 35k, but struggling to save up an additional 65K to do the rehab (my understanding the lender will not give me the rehab money right away, I have to pay my own money to start rehabbing and the lender then will reimburse me in stages the rehab portion)Correct?

Some investors say it’s the perfect time to get deals done, while others prefer to wait until the new year.What’s your strategy for managing fix-and-flip projects during the holiday months?

(Making judgements based on family status, number of kids, medical animals, etc etc..)4) When you get that first repair call 10pm Saturday night for a leaking roof or water heater do you have a trusted/dependable guy to call and get it fixed that night?

We bought it with a HELOC on my mom's primary residence for the first $40k, then hired a contractor for demolition and major renovations, did cosmetics ourselves and used more heloc money totaling $60,000. 1 year later we listed it on VRBO and AIRBNB and refinanced the $100000 into a fixed rate mortgage.

Any tips to get the seller to come down on price or fix things to get the best value? 

Hello, my name is Ben Mudd and we own a fix and flip company named Grace Renovations, LLC. 

Also, expect deferred maintenance.Your #1 concern should be, can you fix the problems the seller has or will you eventually have to dump the property also?

We use a fixed master code for access and can generate single-use codes for specific dates, ideal for maintenance purposes.
