Thanks for your quick response, @Jacob Perez, and for the tickets!

The original appraisal should take into account that in a quick period of time you could raise the rents to market.

As they say, cash flow pays the bills, but appreciation is what makes you rich.

It's $200 and I'm just trying to fly through it as quickly as possible.

CC is for rich dudes...

I feel very rushed to waive contingencies and put in an order quickly in the Seattle market. 

This can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars.We are in a hot building market right now, so prices to build are high.

Needing to flip as quickly as possible. 

Turnkey investments are not made to be short-term, so exiting only a few years in isn't ideal and will likely result in them losing money unless the market has shot up a ton very quickly (where is this prop, btw?).
