I have seen this range from as low as $100 up to $300.Do I need to pay anything before sitting at the closing table?

But after a flip, you will probably sit on the market for a while depending on the location approximate nearest city. 

I remember a saying someone told me a couple of decades ago that convey's to real estate investing: "If you've been sitting at the poker table for 15 minutes and you can't figure out who the patsy is, you're the patsy!"

Make friends and ask people to sit in on their deals.

It was a big project in terms of the amount of work it needed, I just ran out of time with my lender going through the garbage with the contractor, finding a new one, and finishing taking the longest. other than that I would've let it sit on the market to get closer to what I actually wanted for the property.

Situations make deals, and there is usually a story to tell as to why a property has been sitting.

I am also studying to get my real estate license and anticipate sitting for the exam at the end of February.Hey @Brian King, welcome to the BP Forum! 

I closed for both sides and had a chase them round for final signatures.Also might I add the property could be falling down, you basically have to send your staff out to take pictures and videos to send to them to get them to even budge on any price.These homes they have have been sitting a long long time and most cases they are on the city’s list of zombie homes and ready to be demolished, you won’t find that out with no title search and survey, you find that out the day your workers show up to work ready to get this thing back to livable to be met with more money spending ventures.Bottom line.

I’d recommend setting an appointment with a local lender, sitting down and going over the loan, and your options with him/her. 

I am waiting to see where this market is headed, as I know a lot of people are sitting on the fence right now.
