take these #'s for exampleARV=200KPurchase price of home = 100KAfter figuring all of the soft, closing, title, taxes, insurance, points paid, Interest for 1 year and the draw interest...I calculated that you would have around 17K to work with in rehabing the home within the loan and you may have to come out of pocket to finish it.... and you haven't even paid the sell side closing costs and broker fee.Just my $.02

I don't think there is any way to tell w/o breaking out the wall... or asking more experienced people.The hot water pressure in the kitchen sink is very soft, but the cold water works just fine.

When others culled thosesprawling farmsAnd welcomed deals with open arms . . .A corner here, ten acres there,Compounding values year by year,I chose to think and as I thought,They bought the deals I should haveThe golden chances I had thenAre lost and will not come again.Today I cannot be enticedFor everything’s so overpriced.The deals of yesteryear are dead;The market’s soft—and so’s my head.Last night I had a fearful dream,I know I wakened with a scream:Some Indians approached my bed—For trinkets on the barrelhead(In dollar bills worth twenty-fourAnd nothing less and nothing more)They’d sell Manhattan Isle to me.The most I’d go was twenty-three.The redmen scowled: “Not on a bet!”
