By tackling them early on, you minimize the risk of missing critical dates.In my experience, closing a deal within a specific timeframe requires meticulous planning.

Not sure if hard money would be the correct route to go for this one or notHey @Scott Allen I generally run the initial underwriting to minimize the developer's equity (@Shayan Sameer) based on the max LTV % or LTARV % that the handful of HMLs that quote me on my deals.

This property was a foreclosure auction purchase, so minimal information was known.

@Brian Rocha It’s clear why most lenders insist on including rehab funds in the loan, and all of our partner banks follow this practice for fix-and-flip loans to minimize risk and meet securitization standards.

@Tyler Speelman Your strategy to assist your sibling with a down payment while minimizing tax liability is creative but comes with complexities.

We’re really best suited for those high income earners out there with strong investment experience and cash positions to literally take the reigns and create a strong cash flow product and tax write off for them with minimal time spent on their part.

Focus on building a strong local team, researching neighborhoods thoroughly, and considering turnkey properties if you're new to minimize risks.Good luck!

I am more so looking for turn-key properties or something with very minimal updating needed.

To minimize time the property is vacant, have the Realtor coordinate with the existing Tenant for the last 30 days of their occupancy for showings so you have the best possible chance of securing a new Tenant without a break in between.I would love to know some of the details of your property, and do a rental rate check up to confirm you have the right price. 

Ok, that could be as minimal as literally hours per year, like <10 per property.
