@ali BooneIt’s simple because 100% of people ticket foreclosed on have mortgages.

Your numbers are close and assume no more work is needed than the big ticket items you mentioned. 

Quote from @Don Miller: The following is not to express any level of happiness or unhappiness with the build:Received change orders totaling $14,970 for 18 additional loads of fill dirt over allotted amount in contract (fill dirt arrived in December 2022), 7 loads of septic sand over allotted amount, and rock excavation at the septic site. make sure to ask for the tickets. if they are putting 6 yards of soil in a single axle truck you are getting ripped off.

@Drew Sygit The verbiage in our management agreement is as follows: make, contract, and/or supervise repairs, alterations, and/or decorations to Property; to purchase supplies and pay billstherefore; Broker agrees to secure the prior approval of Owner for all expenditures estimated to be in excess of $500.00 forany one item, except monthly or recurring operating expenses and/or emergency repairs in excess of the maximum, if inthe opinion of the Broker such repairs are necessary to protect the property from damage or to maintain services to thetenants as called for in their leases; in the event that Owner is unreachable after multiple contact attempts for more thanforty-eight (48) hours to approve a repair in excess of the above amount, Broker shall be considered authorized to makesuch repair.I've been contacted about high ticket items in the past but these "make readys" are done without approval. 

When you have 10 “little” properties with loans (Say $150-$200k each) and exchanging to either 1 big $2M property or 5 $400k properties to free up more “golden ticket” loans. 

If you want a quick reality check on anything 'big ticket" event you are looking to attend or invest in real estate, try this simple exercise.  

Conducting a thorough property inspection or consulting a contractor can help identify potential large-ticket items you might need to replace soon.For make-ready costs, you can look at local averages for common turnover tasks like repainting, carpet cleaning, or minor repairs.

Don’t miss it—tickets are on sale now!

There will be others that say no seasoning at all but the rate will be very high ticket.

And I see all these people doing it with this scheme and that scheme, and real estate investing content seems a golden ticket.
