Lenders have different loan capacity at any point in time; they might not announce that they aren’t making a certain type of loan right when you need it; they’ll take your application but either delay you to death or find an obscure reason to decline the loan4.

This is because I only buy nice properties which helps minimize my future repairs.

Also have 2 CA properties seeking to minimize taxation.

One hill I will die on is optimizing for minimal assembly.

Hey Brent,Sorry for the delay in this, I haven't been back in a little bit and just saw this question.Detention is not related to floodplain.

We got delayed when the borrowers, who thought they were done, filed for Bankruptcy.

If you want to minimize your risks talk to your Banker, Realtor, other investors.

Things that cause delays are many sponsors maybe 1-3 people and they outsource their investor relations so the first person you contact is not a member of the company but a call servicePersonally I would not invest in a fund / syndication that has a call service on IR side as if things go wrong you will never hear from them.

@Mitch Holmes With $400K-$500K in cash and your contracting experience, start with smaller flips in the $300K-$400K range to minimize risk and build experience.

Valuing a YouTube channel with 5,000 subs and minimal viewership at $200,000 is pure nonsense.
