@Kiryl Ulanovich,You're on the right track:Get Pre-Approval from Hard Money Lender – Know your terms and limits upfront.Find a Deal Through a Wholesaler – Verify numbers and ensure it meets your criteria.Review the Assignment of Contract – Confirm terms, earnest money, and contingencies.Conduct Due Diligence – This includes an inspection (if allowed), verifying ARV, and rehab estimates.Submit to Hard Money Lender for Final Approval – Lender will review title, contract, and property condition.Title Search & Clear Any Issues – Ensure a clean title before closing.Close Through Title Company – Finalize funding and take ownership.Consider also lining up contractors early for a smooth transition into renovations.

Usually 15-25% and they keep cleaning fee.

I learned a lot, feel more confident and am pleased with the outcome. 

Wishing you the best and feel free to reach out anytime.

I am assuming in this that normal cleaning was done pre-occupancy and they are excessive in their expectations.

Let's say you spent a month on the initial preparation: cleaning, painting, shopping for furnishings, assembling IKEA furniture and so on.

The last time I stayed in one, I was charged a large cleaning fee and then met with a list of what to clean prior to us leaving.

Feel free to share any thoughts you have here as well. 

Clean, modern always works.

They don't communicate well, don't take responsibility for their actions, do not clean or maintain homes well, and will shaft you when it's time to leave.Other than that, it's a pretty good system.
