I still don’t have a lab test confirming that the water is safe.

Thanks everyone for the confirmation. 

Or a flip, owned in cash with huge backstops of reserves available if needed, will let you learn with less risk.All told, none of us know the future.  

For those with higher capital reserves and down payment percentage, assuming a pandemic era mortgage (typically from 2-3-4% can dramatically reduce carrying or mortgage costs.

Currently around 60% Sold/Reserved.

We deal with some of the best "we buy" folks on the east coast.When the property condition is unexpected, they terminate during the study period... as they have reserved the right to do. 

When you do a cash out refinance its cash in hand (liquid reserve) so it can be used as an asset or for PITI reserves on the next purchase.The other downfall is if your credit score should drop for any reason which can happen even my accident or mistake the lender will close or reduce the Heloc credit limit.

I'm still building my sunny day reserves.

hah)Sorry Wendy I haven't been on here for a while. for the ESS's gate control hardware, I'd assume it'd primarily (if not exclusively) work with ESS software as that's their product specifically, but you need to confirm with them if you do go that route.

Hi Vasudev,I suppose this depends on if you have reserves already for this property.
