I just finished a 37 day cruise.

Another post that person purchased a cheap property in april that just finished a $12k rehab (how could it take so long?)

If your GC runs a tight ship and does a really good job with the finishes, and it is a quick exit just like the agent promises then you'll make money.What good is it to pay 1 point at 9.99% if the GC messes up the entire job?

The finishes look good to me.

We've had clients over the years who love Bronzeville & Hyde Park and have purchased large buildings with condo quality finishes or updated the buildings & are cash flowing while living in the building.

We aren't quite there yet, still finishing doing some restructuring.

Hi @Leon Jamison,I can recommend my contractor. my project was $420K, 7months, funded through 203K. we went slightly over schedule (10months),mainly due to a few failed/ repeat inspections, but we were able ton finish under budget.TBH, Im actually doing a second multi family reno project in the heights, New York Ave with the same contractor beginning March 2025.Anyways, you're bound to have issues when working with any contractor.

Finishes for fixtures?

I just finished my first old Victorian style home flip.

In working on construction loan financing, the lender informed me I'll need to unencumber that portion of the property (makes sense) before closing on the construction loan.I understand there to be two methods generally speaking: refinancing my mortgage and removing that portion of the property in the process OR attaining a partial release from the lender to remove that land.I *strongly* want to avoid refinancing as I have an amazing rate, but partial releases seem complex and also require a survey.
