Bit of a wild situation here, at least to me and my lender; maybe it is more common than we think, not sure honestly.

So, the common person may ask - well how is me funding the rehab myself any more risky for the lender/why would they want to limit leverage?

Rentals have remained pretty hot outside of common slower times around holidays.

There is some financing available but it's rarely used, as it's extremely difficult to make a deal profitable given the lending conditions.

Be sure to actually contact the landlord for verification—fake references are more common than you’d think.In-Person Meeting: Meeting potential roommates in person is a great way to get a feel for compatibility.

Don't pay any other fees.Fix-and-flip loans will typically last from 6-24 months, with 12 months probably being the most common.

Not that it would be difficult per se to find a maintenance person who can balance a salt hot tub, but chlorine or bromine are more common!

Insurance is expensive, there is a lot of extra maintenance like painting or electric in common areas that don't apply as much with smaller units. 

You have to really understand your funnel and market segment as well as execute extremely well for this to work.

Basically common contract or agreement law.
