NO Booze  just coffee and soft drinks but of course designer coffee we are in the Pac NW after all.it was a HUGE turn out over flowed the office LOL.but I did do it with another person.. he helped cordinate etc.. and I invited a few people that he thought were direct competitors of his and the next day this kid calls me and basically chews me out.. .. that was the end of that relationship and the last time i go to any meet up other than if I am invited to speak as a guest speaker..

My only concern is that the floor throughout the 1st home is very soft and uneven.

The only issue I've had is sometimes tapping too hard with a soft mallet on the ends and bulging it a bit. 

You don't come out of pocket at all on this quick and easy method.If you're looking to make a move in the near future with your credit though, I would ask wash credit card company, before receiving the increase, if they require a hard or soft pull.

Dear BiggerPockets Friends:My first flip is a 4/2, 2900 soft single family home.

Well, looking at this -  where you've included 8% for maintenance & repairs; 8% for vacancy is a decent amount for those soft costs. 

The soft cost is around 15%.

As far as tenants; I don’t know California’s laws but basically you advertise, screen, get a landlord type of insurance policy, sign lease, set expectations, take care of tenants and home but don’t confuse that with being soft on due dates etc.

New construction probably sells for 3x construction hard costs, soft costs, interest, etc will probably eat up total of 50% of exit value.
