So, maybe do 30-50% down, for better cashflow and make sure you have reserves for mortgage payments in case there's a rental market dip in the future.DM us if you have any more questions:)

However, if you clearly communicated a $15K budget, I’d stick to that and ask them to discuss the overages with the contractor to find a resolution.As a side note, always try to maintain reserves for your properties.

And always have reserves to handle any unexpected issues.

Overall, these measures underscore the federal government’s effort to alleviate the financial strain on those affected by natural disasters.

Just the nature of the business....

Today’s buyers want spaces that flow naturally and maintain functionality.

I'd recommend having enough to close on the deal + rehab + $5k in reserve as a minimum. 

For some reason we human love to try fighting nature, thinking we can "tame" it, despite failing a whole lot at it. 

I'll add a few more things that can have a huge financial impact: required reserves, LTC (loan to cost), application or other upfront fees, and prepayment penalties.As a fellow flipper, I think it's important to have reserves, but they shouldn't be required as part of your funding.

This is where everyone started.Residential investing is very forgiving by nature, you have to try hard to really screw it up.
