I would have personally waited a bit to list in the spring when things are hot and everyone is over-bidding. 

Enjoy the process, and may your journey lead you to a rewarding and successful outcome!

You're not the first person to encounter something like this (hard to believe, huh?)

I would personally have some traps and poison around perimeter of house depending on severity.

Suffer through and you'll eventually be rewarded.

Hi everyone,Fix-and-flip projects can be incredibly rewarding, but they always come with challenges.

Do you have any personal experience in investing in indications and that’s why you choose to not/no longer invest this way?

If they don't you personal financial situation plays a bigger part in securing a loan. 

If you find a deal and it is really that good, then you can bring it to a family, friend, or person you met that is an investor and see if they will partner with you on the deal.

You can do all the prequalifying from anywhere via credit check, call references, verify income etc.Make sure you have a handy person, ac person, plumber, etc etc that you can call when you need some work done.
