@Alex Locklear I never, NEVER do a line-item bidding with painters, EVER.

Just like in the good old days when actual BnB exists in the 90s....Folks that are saying it's possible in 48 is because they are early and they capture the de-regulation era and perhaps manage the property well.I'm looking at the problem from a very opposite angle.

Get a top notch Agent to list property and tell owner that there items need done.Your the highly recommended ✋️ handyman. 

Properties that can be quickly renovated and put back on the market are likely to capture this existing demand.28305 though experiencing a slight decline in inventory, saw an increase in sales, particularly in larger homes, suggesting that despite lower availability, demand remains robust.Potential Saturation Challenges: Despite a surge in single-family home permits, areas like 28303 and 28304 may grapple with market saturation, necessitating strategic flipping approaches to navigate fluctuations in supply and demand.Recommendations:Emphasize nimble, smaller-scale flips in areas like 28303 and 28304 to mitigate risks associated with potential market saturation.Average Sale TimeZipApr 2023Apr 2024CHANGE2830156 Days30 Days-47.00%2830361 Days33 Days-45.80%2830450 Days17 Days-64.80%2830576 Days39 Days-48.30%2830672 Days30 Days-57.70%2831169 Days34 Days-49.90%28312124 Days51 Days-58.80%2831451 Days23 Days-55.00%28303: Focus on 2 to 3-bedroom houses, as these are currently experiencing robust growth in sales prices and demand.

You are telling us all its a great deal, it needs MINOR reno and appliances are the most expensive items, hmm,, that does not sound like a great deal. 

the house still needs foundation repairs as well as new windows, new ac and a handful of other items.

In the commercial & private money world its all fair game and case by case.Use of credit cards to purchase properties to acquire/capture equity, create, cashflow, provide additional tax shield/benefits against your income, and improve your real estate investing venture is definitely one way to go about it but it should not be the sole method since there are risks like many have mentioned above.If you're using business cards (linked to your FEIN - federal employer identification number) and it doesnt report to your personal credit then it might be more prudent credit wise because your Fico scores won't tank when you max a business card out versus a personal credit card (drop of 80-100 fico pts temporarily till you payoff).So with prudent timing (funds seasoning), knowledge of how to maintain your ficos so you still qualify for your cheaper conventional money, and how to use the cards to purchase can definitely expedite your REI journey.Most people I encounter would not have the know how to do it correctly as I see plummeting fico scores, in ability to qualify, and many other issues with using cards to invest on a weekly basis.Best of luck,

I can now refi or sell to capture way more value than I lost in cashflow.

They will provide you with a list of items, do them.

We were so over budget and some of the budget went to Items that add very little value (such as new plumbing and electrical) that I suspect we barely added more value than the cost.
