Feel free to send me her info.  

You can get some estimates from contractors for what they charge for big ticket items like to renovate a bathroom, renovate a kitchen, replace the furnace, replace the roof, etc.All wholesale deals should have free and clear title and you should be able to see the sales agreement before submitting the earnest money deposit.

This is going to do two things to help you in the future to free up your VA entitlement so you can buy another home 100%. 

The tenant was in the building when I bought it (I've owned the building for 2 months) and he claims to have an insurance policy covering them.My insurance company is saying they'll drop my policy on the building if the pitbulls are there even with the tenant's insurance policy.The dogs are very sweet but the tenant lets them run free and they often go into the neighboring property, resulting in 4 malicious animal violations from animal control in the past year.Any thoughts on how I should handle?  

I was lucky to split the sales over 2 years, so the first ~80k gain is tax free and 80-480k was at 15%, which I was able to take advantage of twice.

Tenant took photos and videos but nothing detailed - a single shot or two of a room from the entrance, so is saying fridge was fine, normal wear etc Next - If we are being nice and deducting ‘portions’ of the charges and tenant continues to grind away, or this goes to court, do the compromise and smaller amounts offered negate the full amounts that could have been charged

Yes, there are masterful things to learn but the basics of how to brrrr or flip or wholesale aren’t rocket science and I’m so grateful for the free knowledge available thanks to this platform.

I’d love to connect with like-minded investors and learn from those who are navigating this market.For those who said they’d like to connect, feel free to reach out—I’m excited to share ideas and experiences!

I would consider offering an incentive like a free application fee, or $50 off first month, free parking for 3 months etc.

Also do a video when its done.
