Hello,I'm in the process of first rental property rehab, so far iv been lucky to find great contractors at the property, except for one bad apple.Hired a licensed, insured contractor (HIC license)for rental property rehab..

I usually hear people putting around 5% for everything except Management, which depends on the area and the company you use (will use in the future) but around 10%, so total of around 25% of your rents $3200, which is around $800 should be kept outside of your cash flow?

Appreciation has been substantial for a long time for anyone holding 5 years or more except maybe for the 2006-2008 time slot. 

Binder is non-refundable except if the buyer is unable to obtain financing or if seller cannot provide clear title.5.

@David Olson Clinton Orr is exceptional as Charles recommended.

So essentially, it doesn't make a difference (as long as it's not a short sale) except for the fact that it's good to know the liens on the property that aren't mortgage and good to know the mortgage to make sure they get what they need out of the deal.P.S.

@Nicolas BiangelIn the scenario you provided, I doubt you would find the financing except for a local bank and then you may have a problem getting one or two of the properties out of the portfolio because it would make the portfolio too small.Get the properties from the seller using separate loans for each property and save yourself some headache down the line.Stephanie

Except for one person, the GC. 

Except if you've got an easy couple of sales from your network that will pay for your license fees and make some money.
