I presume I could still write in loan amounts while waiving loan and appraisal contingency.

. 🎉 I’m still finalizing things with my lender, but before I move forward, I want to be 100% sure I’m covering all the key steps.Here’s the checklist I’ve put together so far:Home inspection – to catch any hidden issues.Appraisal – to confirm the property’s value matches the offer.Financing contingency – securing my loan approval without surprises.Title search – ensuring there are no liens or legal issues.Seller disclosures – reviewing any known problems upfront.Neighborhood research – making sure the area fits my investment goals.Are there any crucial steps I’m missing or anything you think I should focus on more?

I was able to get interested buyers (investors) under contract, but a couple ended up backing out either due to the appraisal contingency, inspection, or lack of funds which are all common reasons.

Contingencies: Use contingencies to protect yourself or the buyer, like financing, appraisal, or inspection contingencies.4.

@Cody M.I would add a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment as a contingency to any offers on properties more susceptible to environmental issues (dry cleaners, gas stations, auto repair garages, etc.)

Next time consider implementing better contingencies into your agreement.

This home had a HUGE delay that cost us thousands of dollars.The group that put in the underground plumbing dug the plumbing too low, and by the time we caught the mistake, the slab had already been poured and the septic tanks installed.We had to dig up the septic tanks, install a lift station, and reinstall the septic tanks.This all happened during 2 hurricanes, which caused even more delays.Time kills deals.This is why you need to 1) be conservative with your timelines and costs, 2) add contingencies to your budgets, and 3) have a healthy profit margin.

If the fee is contingent upon a closing/sale, yes.

There are a few concerns that made me question going through with it, but I have a few contingencies for backup if anything goes wrong.
