Which can cause work to take longer and subs will charge for it.A flipper will learn what the prices are for his/her niche (area, price range, home style, finish style etc.)

Their job is to do all of the heavy lifting by souring opportunities, performing due diligence, lining up financing & investors, and executing the business plan from start to finish.

Being a licensed General contractor I was able to do it at my costs and max profit yet add nice finishes like quartz What was the outcome?

Maybe if you've done 50 deals and they know you are safe, but as a newer investor there are no ways to do this in the real world.In the day before the GFC this is how all OOS turn key worked:WEst coast marketing companies would get buyers  ( these folks are still in business as we know)rehabber in the market  Pick any turn key market would find a home that they could buy rehab and sell at 65% ARV  which today pretty tough but in those days my company did close to 2000 of them as the A and D lender.So we would require ONLY 1k down from the borrower  ( so not no money down but pretty close)  I would fund the purchase and rehab the rehaber in the market  say Detroit Chicago Memphis Jackson KC Indy those were all my markets. would do the rehab and once it was done they would do a refinance now my LA based buyer was already pre approved for the take out ( REFI) Just subject to a 442.. we routinely spun these deals in 90 to 110 days start to finish.. the LA based buyer would then do a 75% cash out refi and pay me off  and they would normally pocket about 5 to 8k in cash that was to be used for reserves.. so no money down and actually cash out.My flipper made his money the west coast marketing guys got their commish and I made my fee's on the HML..  

It's been a while since I started the process for one of my duplexes and it still hasn't finished certification....not because there were issues.

Will be end of June before it is finished. 

We bought the property last July and allowed the current tenants to finish out their existing lease (up in the fall), we figured they’d move on since they made no indication they wanted to stay....but both did not move out like I had assumed.

Hello all, I just finished reading the BRRRR book by David Greene.

This area looks to be 60/40 mix of old and new construction, so perhaps there are some older houses that I could add value to and capitalize on the location once finished.

I just finished reading "Investing in Real Estate with No ( and low) Money Down"!
