The return on my time isn't worth it for me, especially if you factor in gas, time wasted in commute, etc.There are still deals (I'm working on a few right now), but like every other market with low inventory, you just have to fight a little harder, margins are a little thinner, so I wouldn't advise trying to flip if you have never done it, as you will likely lose money.

I could have gone after him for monetary damages but you cant get blood from a stone and I do not want to waste my time pursuing something that isn't there.

When there is blood in the streets2.

I have a young family but also a plethora of resources so I am striving to do so with plenty of hard work, a little blood, plenty of sweat, and maybe some tears but, just like you guys, I’m a dude so I don’t cry… Thank you all so much for the work you guys have put into this site to make it such an amazing resource for us little people.

You've come to the right place to begin your investment education, though it sounds like it's in your blood.

Looks like blood spatter.

and bad electrical work.got a good bid on a new garage door.to sum it up, we are still in the running but the margins just got much thinner with the framing issue so new to do list includes:Talk with owner about issues and send over inspection reports so they can see the issues from a third party.get an extension on option period for extra bid workwait on the appraisal order to secure financing so I am not just wasting more money.Get a lower price on this contract.Okay time to go cook for the herd.Thanks for all of the questions and Luck, I will take all of it.Cheers,Darin

If your margins are thinner and you anticipate an asking price of less than $125K-$130K, I would consider having a follow-up discussion with your lenders.  

In a sense, they are getting the money as soon as the agreement is made, they just are not getting the first draw until the closing happens.In general, I try not to create bad blood situations--it may be too late in this case.  

Can't squeeze blood from a turnip!
