- Do you think it’s worth challenging the appraisal with Kiavi, or should I just cut my losses and move on?

You might make less, but you cut a lot of costs, make the 1031 exchange easy and maybe worthwhile. 

I have a question and would really appreciate your input.I’ve done a couple of fix-and-flip projects in the past using hard money lenders, but I’ve noticed that their fees and interest rates significantly cut into my profits.

My partner and I don't get a cut of any of the money invested, it's a flat-fee membership club.

suggest you find a different attorney firm to work with...they'll take a cut, but worth it.

Just have two small rooms to finish, grout and cut tile pieces for edges.  

It reminds me of the “ Cutting the red tape for the rebuilding period.”

I can see when they're cleaning the pool, cutting the grass, servicing the HVAC unit outside, etc.

Hard money lenders have a good amount of flex when it comes to FICO score and typically the main issue that borrowers with low FICO's have is that their max loan size gets cut which doesn't seem to be an issue here.

If the partner wants to get a bigger cut on future deals, they can save their money and buy into a larger percentage on the next deal.
