For those who have scaled their fix-and-flip operations, what are the best lending solutions you’ve used?

Hey Celso, since it’s your first time flipping, I’d suggest starting locally so you can keep a close eye on the project and make sure everything’s moving along smoothly.

welcome to BP and the forums @Frank Oliver I hope you find it as eye opening and supportive as I have over the many year's I've been participating. 

You could take a few steps to mitigate future issues:1.Consult a contractor or inspector who could confirm whether it’s up to code (closet or not).2.Make the closet a legal, small fix to have it fully compliant—shouldn’t cost much to do this.3.Double-check with local zoning or the building department about the possibility of retroactive permitting or what kind of inspections would be needed for it to be officially recognized as a 3-bedroom.From a cash flow perspective, adding a legal third bedroom could boost your rental value and ultimately your property’s appraisal value.

There are a lot of other questions you will want to ask - but these 3 specifically address your fears around not having eyes on the property and what that would mean for you as an out of state client.

I am presently looking for a rehab to fix and hold for 2 years.

But you're right, the returns can be eye popping if you know what you're doing. 

The fix-and-flip game is always changing, and what worked a few years ago doesn’t always cut it today.
