The last thing is that you should only bring the best deals with good margins projects that have enough meat on the bone to get them excited. 

They could give the money to the original home owner and you'd be cooked.

That’s just not enough meat on the bone for all the risk.  

@Justin Yen Yeah it can be tough if you live in an expensive market especially if your budget is only 50-60k but do not be discouraged money isn't everything you can find hard money lenders to help you purchase just make sure theres enough meat on the bone of the deal so you can actually appraise at a bank when you pull the money out, and you don't over spend on the rehab itself otherwise you could find yourself in trouble losing the home to the hard money lender if you can't complete the work.  

@Alexander Reda My thoughts: Not enough meat on the bones.

I looked at buying one near campus that was cheap and to quote my son, "You would only live there if you're cooking meth".

He help me at some point, he is part of my master mind group.. 

Your agent should be able to point you in the right direction for some solid general contractors.Not alot of meat to my response but I believe it lays out a good outline on what needs to be done.

The "meat" is in the middle and that's where you make your money...on three "spreads"...thus, the Sandwich

There was meat on the bone for a buyer to be able to purchase at a discount.
