It all depends on whether you want to guess from the exterior, or break laws by trespassing and door knocking.5. the usual unexpected repairs seems like another thing to add.Are you opposed to wholesalers?

I'm not saying that four-plexes are all bad but are usually feel that their future will be perfect and vacancies are painful, especially unexpected ones. 

Each contractor, area, flip, remodel and materials used have different outcomes in the end and as long as you give yourself room for the unexpected you will be good to go.

Any large rehabs are separate, but this could allow you to stabilize your expected cashflow each month, since you won't have to dish out an unexpecte $250 each time someone's drain clogs up. 

I've heard some mixed reviews about this site and their unexpected fees, but I'm trying to calculate that into a lower purchase price.

Any unexpected zoning or licensing issues???

There were a few unexpected repairs during the first year, but I attribute them mainly to poor maintenance of the previous landlord and tenants.Lessons learned?

They operate like a broker (lots of outlets, which means more programs than a bank and often lower rates), but they are the direct lender (which makes them a bit easier to work with and more predictable/reliable compared to a broker). 

So if you use LOC to purchase and then need extra money because something goes over budget or unexpected things happens most hard money lenders can't do much for you at point and your stuck.Often hard money loans are interest only or have interest rolled into payoff. 

For the Electrical, it sounds like they tried to hook up a generator to test the house but were unable, possibly due to missing/damaged wiring or outlets.
