Amenities include a pool, spa, big covered deck, fishing pond, hiking trails.

These were all sourced pre-CV19, so eat the fish and spit out the bones. 

Only dead fish go with the flow.

Review the contract for terms and procedure for default, if any are written.8- Keep a copy of their refusal to complete the work as Contractor Default, keep the final $5k as contractor default.9- Pay the new contractor to fish the job, let the Old contractor deal with trying to get the last 5k from small claims court, which they will likely fail to achieve.PS yes I blew past “what if permits are not signed off as complete” thats a PITA of its own thread.

Most of the homes I've represented here recently have been new builds, and I currently view the margins on rehabbing off-market or wholesale deals as too risky in my market.What has really made me consider the Flip System is my own experience of making offers on 5-6 homes — each over the asking price — only to find myself among many bidders and ultimately seeing another offer accepted. everyone is fishing out of the same pond if you think some system is going to tie you in to super secret inventory that is way below market. 

@Joe Fish how that is handled is up to the employing broker you work under.

Imagine person A has a blog about fishing, and person B has a blog about Boyscouts.Person A wants to write an article explaining their users how to tie the perfect knot  to attach the hook to the line, which let's say is the "3 loop hole rabbit" know (made that up).So do you think it is smart for person A to reinvent the wheel and write a completely new article on how to tie that knot, when Person B, the expert boyscout  having already written an award winning blog entry on exactly how to tie that knot with videos diagrams pictures and everything?

@Frank SichelleThey all have the past performance is not indicative of future success and for anyone who shows a history of prior returns without having it third party verified is like saying I went fishing alone and caught 20 fish including the largest bass ever.

That self-awareness is lower when someone is new at anything, so sometimes they don't even know how to react, so they react based on their feeling of inadequacy in a big pond with killer fish.

As soon as i fish the two I'm working, I'll be on the hunt for more.
