I already own the house but am using their money to complete the flip.

I am using a part of a credit line in order to make up the difference between my cash outlay and my refinance loan.  

This is more costly then getting a regular inspector and not required if i am using the streamlined product; question is would I be saving time, money and effort by having a report that tells me what to fix such that I meet the FHA guidelines?

Neil:  I am using Nancy Shropshire of Mal and Seitz in Portland.  

@Erik Nowacki I am using one of the best PMs who come with a lot of references in BP.

I am using handymen instead of contractors for the majority of it.

Hi,I don't have access to the MLS and I am using Zillow to analyze comps.

A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind.

If revenue generation, you need to look at it from The standpoint of others - beach, lazy river, restaurants, child care, amusements, etc.. all add substantial costs in the form of HOA fees.If primarily as a place for you to vacation and you want revenue generation just to help that, you may want to stay away from the condo-hotel concept as it can get quite crowded and use of the amenities can get quite competitive in-season.I would also suggest you start reading up on the pros and cons.  

It is tough to give an ARV when the calculator requires it when there is none to be found.I am using the MLS trying to find this info.
