You need to have scenarios outlined in writing so everything goes smoothly. 

It helps to smooth things out.

Insurable title enables a smooth closing when you purchase the foreclosure property; but, it also makes the title defects potential sleeping giants.And, even if the giants never awaken, when you later sell the property your buyer will most likely require that you convey marketable title (which is typically the case).

Throw in a hot tub, how would you expect it to go smooth?

I have worked with another investor who had transaction funding lined up and already had the C buyer, so it was a pretty smooth transaction.

When you first started rehabbing and don't have a good grasp of how to schedule or budget, having a GC can make your rehab go much more smoothly.

Sorry, Tim turns out my joke was taken out of context from someone we both know and was used in some back-channel messaging.Looks like our old pal is still up to his game-playing.

Hi Michael,Congrats and I hope your closing goes smoothly! 

The time that you front-load into ensuring the deal/property is the highest quality possible is returned an hundred-fold in smooth management and minimal repairs.

That choice (and the due diligence that went into it) is when you made the choice for how smoothly, or not smoothly, the process would go.
