He had this ambitious flip lined up and decided to tap into a 0% business card deal to cover the rehab costs.

It looks like you can use a 203k loan for new construction to reconstruct on an existing foundation.

Sorry if you covered this and I missed it.

The property title is clear but the lender wants additional property adjoining to cover the roof overhang rather than just an easement or encroachment.

Prior to 1976 they were considered pre-HUD. 

Studies typically cost $3,000–$5,000 but affordable DIY options (around $400–$500) exist for simpler properties.

It was a 1970s property, and when the plumbing needed an overhaul, I found myself scrambling to cover the costs.

Since I am having my prospective tenants cover the cost I would prefer to have the lowest cost option that gives you the most bang for your buck, but at the same time I want to be sure that what I am paying for is reliable.
