Fun reno project scheduled!

Quote from @Alan Asriants: Margins in the market today are extremely tight.

We’re not used to seeing emergency declarations as frequently as they do in Florida.Our borrower is a local rehabber with a property scheduled to be funded today and close tomorrow.

I like your lesson learned, but would just caution you to still watch tightly.

I find this option best if you are on a tight time frame and need to save a couple of weeks.  

Scheduling is the hardest part of construction , good subcontractors are not sitting home waiting for the phone to ring , they are scheduled out weeks if not months ahead of time .

If it's a good rental and you don't need to sell, sit tight but if you can sell at a profit and reinvest into a better property I would suggest that. 

. - New construction will be comped against other new construction - Start out with enough comps to justify the price point- keep the area tight to consolidate the risk vs building one or two in different parts of the same neighborhood. 

If you pay the $250 and they say it's all perfectly glued and installed schedule 80 then you're going to have confidence without worry.
