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.

But we are doing a nationwide search daily for these properties, and have a team looking for the most unique of these that we think would provide the best opportunity at profits quickly (turnkey as much as possible). 

A quick search tells me it costs $7,700 to live on campus.

He decided to invest in a syndication and quickly learned that his syndication was earning a return comparable to some of his personal investment properties.

Higher interest rates and shorter terms are part of the deal, but they can get you that quick cash you need for the purchase and rehab.Then, there's private money, which might come from individuals like your dad or other investors looking for a solid return.

I think she is spot on.....I wish she were not right, fiberglass is a quick install.

Hard money, creative financing, or traditional financing should be viewed as different tools that you can use; try not to worry too much about finding one, singular way to finance every deal.For example, if you are buying an off-market deal from a family member, you may want to see if you can use traditional financing or creative financing since there's no competition and you'll get the most attractive/flexible terms.On the other hand, if you see a newly listed deal on the MLS, you may want to look at hard money since it can fund quickly like cash.Hard money loans are more expensive so you'll want to plan your exit before you get in whether that be refinancing into a long term note or selling the property.Hope this helps!

The holding period of 60 days is also likely too quick--it's counted from the time of purchase to the closing date when you sell it, so I would plan on at least 90 days since you need to completely finish the renovations, take photos, list and market the property, get under contract and then another 20+ days to close (if it doesn't fall through during inspections etc). 

Protect Your Property If there's a threat of a lien, you should act quickly.
