I am doing my first rehab to sale and bought all stainless steel appliances for it and am considering staging it if possible.

Just remember that you make money when you buy so buying right is a MUST at this late stage of the cycle. 

They discover everything in final approval stage (we had final approval with 25% down, now underwriter says they made a mistake and it should be 30%). 

I currently have three methods for payment:- PO Box to mail check/money order (to keep my home address private) - Cash, but only if paid in person (and I need 4 days notice to make arrangements to be there)- Deposit at the Bank with provided deposit slips. 

:)  So after reading all this, I'm left wondering if you're point is that zero money down is a "wrong method" or if you'r encouraging the original poster to gain more knowledge of the industry through education and skills for management, the stages of the transactions, etc.?

My goal this year is to add another another income stream in a different business, currently at "shaking out the couch cushions for money" stage.

After you have read these and studied the subject, you will be able to choose the niches and investment and finance strategies that work best for you, and you won't need to go to others for general advice - you'll instead ask questions that are more specific to progressing to the next stage in specific areas of your career.

I am going to make a very successful career out of Real Estate but I am still in the starting stage of my "business plan".

I'm still in the planning stage for this project, but am looking to get it going in the next 6 months to a year and would love some feedback from you guys so I can design a product that would be loved by everyone across the board!

This Flip is actually out of the ordinary, I will state that the work took 2 months of staging, and a heck of a lot of sweat!
