Quote from @Steven DeMarco: Quote from @Pat Lulewicz: This staging company looks like they got you.

Hello everyone, I've done 3 buy and hold rental properties, and now I want to do flips, I need investors and I have some that have shown interest, in addition to speaking to private lenders that are willing to fund 70% of the LTV (based on the desired property)I'm seeing a lot of deals from wholesalers, but the problem is, some of them close in 2 weeks and some as long as a month, and they don't take conditional offers, and the good ones fly off the shelf really quick.My question is, how does someone like me close one of those deals within this short period, how do you arrange the equity and financing with little to no inspections sometimes even.I'd like to know how do I prepare myself to be able to close one of these good deals right away when they are offered to me and many others?

Negotiate with the Seller: Depending on the market and the seller's flexibility, you might be able to negotiate a lower EMD or even delay the deposit until a later stage in the transaction.

Most hard money loans work on a draw system, where you pay for part of the rehab initially, and the lender reimburses you in stages as work is completed.

Also what is your personal REI stage?

However if you still need a coach imho the only arrangement is to have them come to you and “Show” you.  

Photography and staging - does the home have great photos and decor?

I asked for measurements to arrange the replacement, but they took two weeks to respond.

Did you find yourself in this situation due to circumstances, or did you intentionally stage this situation?
