Escrow really dropped the ball since that lien should've been discovered and resolved prior to buyer giving their landlord 'notice to vacate'.Now Seller is asking for a minimum 30 day extension to try locate lienholder and clear lien however, buyers would have no accommodations to stay in the interim, as their landlord stated they have to be out in 14 days since landlord already filled their vacancy with another tenant and have no other units available.

One of my tenants drank the tequila and had the balls to refill the bottles with water.

However he does have the funds and he could definitely  help get the ball rolling faster. 

For those of you who have completed flips, using your actuals costs against what your originally estimated, what ball park sqft multiplers have worked for you?

I'll see if I can track down some help with this to get the ball rolling!

A good ball park formula for Operating Expenses (OpEx) is gross rent * 30-45%.  

Make sure to check with the utility companies and get cost estimates from them for availability, fees, hookup charges, transformer and power line/power pole locations or relocation requirements, water, sewer,gas, cable etc You will need ball park cost estimates from site work contractors for site work, roads, installation of utility lines etc.

Once you learn the basics stil keep learning and tweaking but prioritize your time investment into what brings the biggest - percent likelyhood of successful payout- volume of payment vs the riskWhen I ran a large call center I compared it playing money ball with time.

The ball is in your court!

If you are getting title insurance also will need to use a closing agent etc.If you are trying to wholesale a home with owner financing that is another ball of wax, as most seller financing deeds of trust ARE NOT assignable due to legalities involved with Dodd Frank.
