@Lateefah Mathews - thank for the quick reply!

If you aren't properly compensated for the boots-on-the-ground duties, it can start to feel unfair very quickly.

I didn't expect to need to re-pipe this quickly. 

It is not a get rich quick scheme or anything, but it does allow you to start getting debt pay down, depreciation, appreciation and potentially cash flow when you move out.

It is what you need to get started, he is quick to reply to questions, and makes it easy to understand. 

You must deposit and maintain your security deposit(s) into your brokerage's trust account registered with GREC.As long as you do this I believe you are clear but it's been a while for Georgia so I'd recommend a quick call to GREC to verify.

Since we closed on another property earlier in January, the lender had all the docs necessary to close this deal quickly.

I also know some of the biggest wholesalers in the area that have huge buyers lists that could dispose of it quickly with no commissions to realtors.

In some situations, it may make sense to hire a pro to get the job done quickly and correctly, then you can rent it out earlier and offset the additional cost, or at least part of it.My first house took me six months to renovate.
