The house, built in the early 1900s, was outdated and required major renovations.

All major flippers in town have heavily compressed ARV to accommodate for the potential of the downward slide to continue.

And all of this happens during the contract period reducing purchasing risk.Great strategy especially when practiced just on the outskirts of a major metro area in a country setting(a weekend getaway property that can be marketed to city folk).  

Here’s, the hard truth I’ve found in 45+ years in the industry; the vast majority of real estate investors, practitioners and business owners do not have a scalable activity.  

I find that cash flow is very important so that I don’t have to come “out of pocket” to pay for major improvements / repairs  

Either they overpay or don't negotiate the right terms, or miss something major. 

As an investor here myself, I can tell you we're seeing solid rental demand here thanks to the strong job market and major employers developing here. 

Any other major syndication site has restricted sold data so it will be incomplete.

No major issues so far. 

I mainly use FCI and Madison for the majority of my notes.
