For instance, I didn’t install grab bars in the shower, since more penetrations can lead to more failure points based on my experience.

Hi all, new here at the forum and thank you all for all the knowledge you guys share…its amazing.I am interested in this question as well as we just got back into this from like 10 years ago, few things have changed for us, and the main one is finding deals with whole sellers, sometimes the price looks good, but once we add numbers we are currently seeing that everyone else in the deal makes tons of more money than us….for instance, we have checked properties now, where we pay closing cost, interest on a portion of the borrowed money, commissions after selling the property, etc and we see 30-40k going out on all of this,  then we barely make a 20k profit or less on a property of 200k …many of the deal we found we barely get close to a 10-15% of the initial purchased price, which to me sounds like a lot of hassle and my wife says that i am getting old and too picky :)i keep saying that ideally we should shoot for 15-25% profit from the purchase price…if i get a property at 200k and the rehab is 50 and everyone else makes 30k then we should at least net out 30k as well.

For instance, the DSCR loans we originate are not brokered out.

In this instance however I know the Seller (RE agent who I have bought from before) and the RE buyer agent for us (who I have bought through before). 

For instance if I was buying a single family house 2bed 2bath, could I say she was going to be renting one room and will be paying X amount.

Short answer is as little as possible.The long answer is it depends on the deal.Typically you end up in a subject 2 situation when the current owner has little or no equity in the property, the current advantage of subject 2 properties is that most mortgages are below current market rates.Keep in mind when acquiring a property subject 2, in most instances you are not notifying the current lender of the change in ownership, and most if not all mortgages have a due on sale clause, which is the lender's decision if they want to enforce it or not.I personally like the idea its a great way to get investment properties with low rate loans, that with most likely appreciate in the coming years.

I have transacted at least 5000 properties as a flipper developer and lender and I have had one instance of this. were someone recorded a mortgage 5 minutes before my loan went on record so when I got my title policy I was in second instead of first made a claim to my title insurer and they rectified it quickly and went after the bad guy criminally. 

In these instances, you'd have to check things like flooring, plumbing for leaks, roof for leaks, hot water heater, and heating and air conditioning units. 

It seems like towns could dictate if you can build an attached vs detached adu for instance. 

For instance I was seeing insane growth and development in pasco county, wesley chapel areas outside of tampa, and actually had a hell of a time finding industrial space in Bradenton FL, so at least on the commercial side of things from my limited experience there didn't seem to be a down turn or softening, so its so interesting to here your take on your local market there as well.
