I am surprised you found a bank willing to do this.

And surprisingly she has been paying rent.

They will usually want to see you have the capital for closing costs and some "reserves", meaning they want you to have a few months left over to cover any surprises.

We are direct lenders, meaning we lend our own money, for flips within approximately 1½ hours of our home.We walk through every property to avoid surprises and to confirm the rehab estimate.

Surprisingly, the “how” beats the “who” any day.

Very big difference and be surprised if you had rats to be honest.

I am not surprised on listings having inaccurate info.

Need to be an accredited investor as well.A bit surprised there isn’t more on BP about these guys, which I’d say does cause me a bit of pause.

It's a competitive market and most of the people that get in trouble here are ones that buy blindly without actually figuring out the numbers, etc.You'd be surprised the number of times I get asked after month one if their electric bill of $xxx or whatever is normal, and the thought running through my head is "how did you not  check things like that before you committed half a million dollars to something?"
