Newer homes are not always the "safest" - you'd be surprised at some of the high cost repairs that even new homes run into.I don't have an age limit on homes I would operate - many of mine were built in the 1950s and are great structures!

Surprise, you've basically turned that Wyoming LLC into a California one because you're doing business in California.

Then, this one surprises me because it’s a couple of 21 year olds and I don’t know many that age that use it but they swear by Facebook pay.

Since many, many people never follow through and perform or produce, I don't find it at all surprising that a legitimate dealmaker would want you to have some skin in the game.

There are few good surprises when rehabbing property. 

Just like anywhere else I think the biggest challenge is finding homes to flip at the right price and being able to build a team of trades that can complete projects on time, within your budget and with the quality that can sell.With your experience I'm surprised you bought new construction. 

No surprises.
