Also many people found that they were now competing against cash buyers, so the fat deposits they were planning to use were of no use.The BA is a different beast all together so plan your strategy accordingly.

I live in France, and here according to the law, if we want to flip and sell multiple houses in a year we need to pay big fat % as tax.So, I will be sticking to buying and holding.

Ideally, our ROI would have been over 60%, but we put this rehab on the back burner to focus on 2 other flips.

Beware, however - you may be comparing your 'market' with other places that have been fixed up and are fresh on the market, so be sure you are going apples to apples.One of my vendors has a saying: "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered."

We actually cut the two burner electric stove into the counter top (bought at Walmart for about $200), and purchased a full 18cuft fridge.

I work 60+ hours a week so I am doing my best to not put this on the back burner and expedite the process the best I can. 

@Lauren Akins repairs and maintenance are for items like clogged toilets, burners that go bad, leaky faucets, etc.

Thanks Jay,As I mentioned in my reply to Caleb.Influencing an appraisal is a walk in the park.If you buy cash or even with finance it doesn't matter.Find the right people who's ethics are through the roof and that have a proven track record.I'll take it as far and say that even if a turnkey company sells you a property for more than what it's worth.As long as they are willing to go along for the long haul ride, then you are good.There are too many operators that will just flog the product and disappear soon after.Turnkey real estate is about cashflow.If you want fat equity in a deal or a "Deal Of The Century" type property.Don't buy turnkey and do the work yourself.Just my opinionThanks again mate

The fat days are gone, welcome to the new normal. 

Next time you’ll trim off the fat and be in great shape.
