I can't wait to connect and network with you.

Most flips don't stay on schedule because something was done before something else and the days start to add up back tracking or being stuck waiting for a contractor.Best of luck 

In this case, would it be wise to get an additional loan to cover the remainder of the property or wait until I am able to save up enough money on my own? 

so im waiting 5-6 regardless with my money tied up in the property.  

I'm new but being mentored by a broker who did hundreds if not thousands of BPOs through the crash (broker price opinion, sort of like a non-official appraisal for bank foreclosure and other purposes) and really knows the value of adjustments and when to draw the "not comparable" line.

Follow all the steps and don’t cut any corners;  if your asset is a thousand miles away you have to do your homework, and it had better be managed someone you trust a fair bit.

While the low down payment costs are what entices many veterans to jump on that loan , it will significantly increase your PITI and ultimately thats more money you would have to pay interest on, even 1% down can prevent thousands of dollars in interest over the life of the loan.Best of luck and feel free to reach out for anything I can help with!

There’s always the waiting game which is certainly an option.

If a water heater breaks, will you be able to find a contractor willing to wait 7-10 days to receive a check from your IRA?
