Density is not a cure-all silver bullet.

Some of the costs quoted shock even seasoned flippers as they are lower than even material are in many markets. 

Markets are slowing and we’re in an off-season now.

The husband had a good paying job that had a slow season where he would collect unemployment a few months per year.

But I have run zero vacancy for the last 25 years as of Aug 1 unless I build something then I have lease up in the off season.   

I suppose I have it in my mind that I'm only able to get a LOC after I've appreciated the property, let it season, and then pursue an appraisal/refi.

@Austin TessMany lenders have a seasoning period (typically 6-12 months) before you can refinance.

@Matt Wan In the Boston area the inventory is so tight I'm not even sure there's "deals" in the off season.

Unless you're a very seasoned investors, the value in committing to the right agent should be in their vast local market knowledge, expertise of their lane, transactional experience and so on.

HEY BIGGER POCKETS FAM HOPE ALL IS WELL SENDING LOVE AND PROSPERITY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON TO EVERYONE !
