Hi Michael, If you are looking at a bridge for a fix and flip (either to BRRRR or to flip), typically HML will want to see purchase price, your track record, your credit score, your reserves, your SOW and an idea of your exit plan and ARV. 

I have reserved a table at BJ’s (5037 S Padre Island Dr, Corpus Christi, TX 78411) for 2pm.

First of all the schedule 1 has a line for Net Operating /Losses, it's 8a.  22 is reserved for future use and I don't know why you would use other if there is a named line. 

I am scratching my head as to whether the property is sold and the listing services aren't updated, or the broker is just plain lazy and doesn't care.

It looks like a larger company without the personal service or communication.I would expect more canned responses, slow responses, slow reactions to get service etc.

Agree on the house hack ONLY if you have reserves for maintenance and repair.

It's crucial to ensure that the seller genuinely needs our service and that our offer is their best option.
