Let me know if you'd like to hop on a call to chat, but this is one of the reasons why I mostly advise clients to always negotiate vacant delivery on properties before closing. 

@Timothy Frazier Yes, the only reason to use HML as a down payment is if the property is "mostly turnkey" AND you don't have the funds to renovate AND you have strong CMA comps from a real estate agent that supports that the fact that you are buying a property that is under valued AND your renovations would push that so that you could refinance.

Text me to set up a chat!

This doe t mean that the poster is someone in cohorts or a “supporter” of the person, business or methodology you claim defrauded you.Based on my posts in the other thread on the same topic, I have been receiving emails providing additional information purported to show proof of fraud, though I have NO WAY of verifying it.  

This project I expect to have fully complete renovation wise in 2 months and am coordinating alongside my full-time PM support. :)

We pay all of our expenses out of that which includes: broker split (my brokerage takes 22% of the total commission, this varies by brokerage and is typically anywhere from 5-50% depending on how much support the brokerage provides and whether or not the agent is on a team), transaction fees, transaction coordinator cut, income taxes (15-20% of what's left after broker gets their cut), errors and omissions insurance, MLS fees, board of Realtors dues, required continuing education costs, vehicle and vehicle insurance plus maintenance, repairs and gas, health insurance (also health insurance for the family if they are the sole breadwinner), technology fees, desk fees (office rent), marketing materials, advertising/ lead gen, etc.

By understanding the local market and organizing a strong support network, you will unlock varied opportunities for growth and long-run success.If you’re interested in learning more about how to get started or want to discuss specific opportunities in Phoenix, feel free to reach out to local experts or explore educational resources tailored to this market.How many foreclosures are there today vs 2010 or historical average in Maricopa county? 

Are renovation bumps supported by the market?

UPDATE:  Just chatted with the city and learned that variances have a high threshold for approval.  

Happy to chat, network and compare notes with folks in this space.
