But the biggest one, as Nathan notes, is that it is an incredible amount of work for whoever is trying to compile this info and there very few people willing to pay for.  

I can't speak to that myself, it's not my specialty but I think that would be one of your biggest concerns is their permit processes. 

As mentioned your biggest challenge is going to be selling the package at/close to same time. 

This is my smallest property but the biggest PIA to get lending on since I can't shop it to Fannie/Freddie and competitors.

He's still very much in contact and reachable, but my biggest fear is that he will run or file some sort of Bankruptcy.

Also, what’s been your biggest challenge when it comes to securing the funds you need?

It’s a beautiful custom home, one of the nicest in a so-so Oakland neighborhood ("biggest house in not the best area").Here’s the context:- Bought in 2014 for $590k, appraised in 2022 for $1.2m.- Located in a C- to B neighborhood—close to amenities and mostly safe but not for everyone.- Converted to a rental in 2024; initially rented for $4,750/month, but tenants moved out, and the soft Bay Area rental market has made filling it challenging.

Good question, I think the biggest question will just be your overall timeframe and how quickly you want to get everything done. 

I’ve flipped a few houses and talked to a few investors and this is one of the biggest horror stories I’ve seen working with contractors.

For the 1st time really since 2022 when I look towards next year, my biggest question is what housing demand will look like within that band of rates more so than what rates actually are.
