A few stats on the home which we plan to flip.Purchased for $75k cashRehab estimate is $50kARV is $180 - $200Rehab time is estimated at 60 days (my business partner, whom I formed a company with, owns his own construction company and has his own crew so the cost will only be time and material with no markup)Since the sheetrock is removed I will seek a mold remediation certificate for the buyerAnyways there are many more details than I listed above but that's the short version!!
