Makes one think about closing wholesale deals with hard money and listing for a period before doing a rehab - Better a quick nickle than a slow dime, some might say.

Even if I have to get the best rehab course money can buy, it will be worth every dime.

CheersThat is a very common and typical situation/mistake that we Investors all make when starting, trying to save every dime to make the most by doing things yourself.

They think the market's coming back so they ask for full asking price, no dime less without other option.

All on my potential liability dime.

Of course, it's your dime.

Many times the HML will wind up with the remodeled house on the fix & flip investor's dime.

Be prepared for a lot of complaints on drug deals and break-ins Also get ready for the property manager to rip you off as they nickel and dime you everything. you will start getting random statements every month about maintenance that cost several hundred dollars  with barely any explanation and communication starts to fade away.  

The more access you have, the less I would sweat having every last dime for every contingency.

Buyers are a dime a dozen (though LEGIT buyers that perform are more rare)Getting a SELLERS list is what is gold in 2018.
