@Kate Moreland I think 5-8 weeks is doable if you have a lot of time during the day.

It's very doable although it can be a little stressful once in a while :)

@Regina Joners it is doable, but I would make sure you have a solid contractor.

I've never seriously flipped a house before.I think it is entirely doable. 

It never hurts to save more money, but if you figure out a set plan with a few exit strategies it's doable now.

Or will you hit the snooze button in an attempt to escape the painful reality of your monotonous daily life.I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemies.

Might be difficult in south county but definitely doable in other parts of OC.

You may have trouble doing an 80% cash out refi though,but a 75% cash out should be doable depending on your credit situation and the lender.

I can't tell you whether you should make the deal or not, negative cash flow is difficult to sustain, but as long as you reasonably know you'll keep your job until you can refinance, it seems doable.

So if FHA is doable, you don't need that kind of money (60K) unless you are buying a $1.7 mill property (3.5% of 1.7 mill is 60K..), which I hope not..
