Is this too skinny of a deal?

There are real estate leads everywhere - you just need to become pro-active and forget about passive marketing.Be prepared - have at your finger tips - an approved skinny contract of sale (be ready to do business all the time)Understand contract terms - delayed settlement - hybrid offers - subject to clauses - discount language, assignment terms - one simple contingency - money back clauses - full disclosures -The fastest way to find sellers and equity profits - Craig's List - active listings - expired listings - talk to everyone - go in to businesses to ask if anyone knows of real estate for sale - FSBO's - drive neighborhoods - look for vacant houses - ugly buildings - find the owners - make offers -----just to mention a few techniques that I have been using and teaching successfully.If you take time to use the 50 house rule - you can become knowledgeable of the market and values - very simple --  start to look at houses without making offers  - after you look at many houses in one area (listed - expired - FSBO's) you will become aware of values - keep a journal of the Sq.

Here's the skinny on your initial question (or at least, as skinny as I can make it):Mortgage in LLC name - there are loans that will absolutely lend to a LLC.  

@Russell Brazil  Russell whats the skinny on infill new builds as @George Taylor mentioned.is there a play ? 

well when you travel through Europe  Italy and Greece in particular you will see laundry hanging out on the line in front of these great ancient homes. up here in Orygun well we don't do that much unless you want to grow moss on your clothes..plus in many areas of the US your just inviting the petty thieves to steal your skinny jeans

This property is somewhat long and skinny.

@Jamie Addeo,Your margins look skinny for a major fix/flip.

If you insist on proceeding with this skinny deal with multiple layers of higher risk and red flags, and haven't already done this - make darn sure you have a reputable lender lined up on the refi who has already pulled your credit and reviewed your financials.

@Daniel JarvisAnalyzing the deal prior to an offer isn't the time to be skinny on your expense estimates. 

If I can find an HPR (tall-and-skinny) 3BD/2BA, I plan on renting out 1 or 2 of the bedrooms, so my mortgage will still be significantly less than renting.
