This can cost upwards of $20k to do so nice to avoid triggering the city inspection and keep your project valuation below $50k.

It's so nice that you have been able to figure out how to do the work yourselves while being tenant occupied.

If you would prefer to invest locally, driving your market and tracking down the ownership group of properties that seem interesting can uncover groups.  

So personally what I have done is use that HELCO to buy several properties and it makes it so nice to do those BRRRR deals or flips.

We've all heard of the deals where one partner puts in Cash, and the other partner puts in Sweat Equity, Contractor/Site Management, etc..I'm looking for suggestions on how to assign value to a deal that has an initial non-cash position from one of the partners until escrow closing, then that Non-cash partner will cover 20% of the monthly mortgage on a deal.Property is in Southern CaliforniaSales price - $650,000 Appraised at $700,000New Construction COO 12/01/2020Owner passed away after 7 months in the new home as to why it's $50k under value at agreed sales pricePartner 1 - Sold their home in a not so nice neighborhood and wants to move to a nicer stress free environment. 

It’s so nice knowing I can reach out to this community and get advice!

Nice houses a few streets over from not so nice houses.

In your due diligence period you should have uncovered they weren't paying.

On our second property we just closed on, we are using the same contractor and its so nice to have someone who picks up the phone the first time you call, shows up on times, and either finishes early on on schedule.

You  have   to judge based on what  else   you uncovered   the kind of  threat    he  is.
