@William Klawitter  transactional funding is what you want... do you tell them up front your just flipping the property with no intention of purchasing... if you are then they should not be spooked right?

@Daniel RongoI’d be cautious with Barcelona, the political situation is very shaky and some more turmoil could seriously spook foreign investors and crash the market

This is because most sellers do not want to spook their property managers, who often lose their job when a property is sold.

I'm worried the buyer is going to get spooked and not go forward... any ideas on what I can do at this point?

Speaking of foreign investors, if enough stuff happens to our economy to spook them and they bolt, we are in trouble, and if the middle class disappears (it is close, right!?)

I guess I let that spook me.I see what you mean though about solving their problem.

Some are bulls on overall home values, some are overall bears, but all agree that builders are skittish AF when it comes to getting spooked by rates (they build on borrowed adjustable rate debt, and they don't get the 7 or 10 year fixed intro period consumers get, it's typically adjustable right away, so rising rates makes it impossible to build out a spreadsheet projecting your costs, telling your investors what to expect and when, etc). 

When I went to pull the permits for the roof at the licensing and permit office they said something that spooked me.

In regards to selling the house after repairs have been made, do you find that the history of foundation work spooks a lot of potential buyers post repair?

I also own 2 duplex zoned lots and intend to develop them soonish, but am spooked by current materials costs.
