Things are starting to happen. I am prequalified through three lenders right now. I start working with my realtor next Thursday. We're going to look at 4-5 homepath properties located within 20 minutes of my house. I'...

I think it's worth a shot to see if you can put in a low-ball bid and see if they'll take it.

over leveraging/ being undercapitalized - must have cash on hand, figure out how much you need, and multiply by two there's often something you didn't plan for, and it ALWAYS going to be expensive.I have watched several people put their balls out a little too far trying to make things they can't afford happen, hopping for a huge payday, and lose it all.Getting too creative with financing is another pitfall, if you need a bank, a hard money lender, some owner financing, and money from anyone on Facebook that will lend to you to make a deal happen, you can't afford it!

In such situations they just relist the property with a Realtor, and you can continue to make your low ball offers through the Realtor.

I will be meeting with a bank Assets Manager tomorrow to get the ball rolling and see if I can get a line on foreclosed property.

I can never seem to make Monday meetings as I'm still attached ball and chain to a 9-5...for now

TodayI had a contractor take a look at a home for just ball park; told him clearly that its full gut renovation; but he told some of them can stay but quoting for 2 bathroom renovation for $23K and 2-zone hvac with duck work around $15K; not sure from where he came up with that price and total renovation cost of around $100K for low-end finishing (for the house of 2400 sq.ft).

For example like put in the measurements of the home and what your looking to have done and get some kinda ball park price?
