It's an inferior product and if moisture becomes an issue, you'll have to redo the whole thing.You can usually save a lot of money on lumber by buying from a building supply store (lumberyard) instead of Home Depot.  

To sign that you are providing the down payment, and then working out some arrangement or the seller to provide said down payment by taking an inferior lien, or any other method, is not "sort o skirting around the edges", it is mortgage fraud.

However I think I could possibly get better cash flow with inferior properties, but this is what works for me.      

You will find some TK buyers get stuck with inferior locations as a result of not being local.

If you don't buy low, you end up having to compromise quality, producing an inferior product, in order to do well financially ...and that should not be a part of anyone's business plan.  

Be sure to protect yourself from the "The problem happened because you bought inferior materials." situation. 

I hear what your saying, I remeber I tried to do this a while back with InternetSpeedway.com or something, man did there selction really suck they had all the inferior brands.

trying so hard to make a BRRR happen were you have no cash in the deal.. and you sacrifice area and quality of asset.. you may get that BRRRR to work in theory but end up with a inferior long term asset.. and now your on the hook for a mortgage as well.

Sometimes it's just due to surprises during the rehab Those are the ones we actually keep as we do not want to put out an inferior product.

In summary, to underwrite a deal I use strictly an IRR-based return metric (others may use an ROI or equity multiple, but these don't take the investment duration into consideration so they are inferior means for evaluating an investment) .
