Hard money lenders are often more willing to take on higher-risk projects and offer faster closings, but the trade-off can be higher interest rates and shorter terms.

Also have made it easy to see if you offered a certain amount, or changed your rehab budget, how that would affect your return. 

Some agents are savvy enough with their offer to  require the seller to pay the early issue.. others its just another line item and buyer pays it..

If you are looking to expand your knowledge I highly recommend the webinars BP offers. 

With the capital and experience to offer I've seen this work well as a joint venture.

If you need any help with the financing, Aslan is beginning to offer the Chattel loan very soon which could be a great help.

They are being offered discounted rent, free gym memberships, free cable, etc.

Paying off the notes, working to pre-emptively make repairs to capex items before they fail or become a major issue think roof, HVAC, and foundation.

Coming in and making an offer after nothing for months on. a dying listing is also worth considering. 

Their insurance has asked me to return the month's payment for the remaining days of their rental (Unfortunately, I did not have a cancellation agreement).I am unsure how to handle this situation, especially since I couldn't fill the majority of the rental dates and had to offer discounts for the days I did manage to book.
