@Brian Rocha It’s clear why most lenders insist on including rehab funds in the loan, and all of our partner banks follow this practice for fix-and-flip loans to minimize risk and meet securitization standards.

This property was a foreclosure auction purchase, so minimal information was known.

You can then block out some time in slow season for a refresh and also indicate your plans in your listing.

We’re really best suited for those high income earners out there with strong investment experience and cash positions to literally take the reigns and create a strong cash flow product and tax write off for them with minimal time spent on their part.

Things like the 1% rule right off the bat, especially with properties that I know are undervalued, are good indicators of a "good deal."  

To minimize time the property is vacant, have the Realtor coordinate with the existing Tenant for the last 30 days of their occupancy for showings so you have the best possible chance of securing a new Tenant without a break in between.I would love to know some of the details of your property, and do a rental rate check up to confirm you have the right price. 

Also, I'm stuck with out-of-state investing which brings a whole series of risks with minimized financial upside (in my opinion) 

I am more so looking for turn-key properties or something with very minimal updating needed.

A tenant complaining online might indicate that the property manager handled them appropriately, so be sure to ask the manager for their side of the story.7.

If you plan to use cash to finance your acquisition and rehab expenses, this will help minimize risk exposure to a certain degree.
