You keep looking for the "perfect" deal, chasing an unrealistic standard that you can never meet.

@Douglas Ellis what about a standard renovation loan with 15% down? 

totall 1000% scammer you send that 850 its gone  just read the prose its someone talking to you from out of country.. no one needs 850 before they transfer the funds.. they deduct the 850 from the funds and all other costs.. or if you to pay loan fee's up front it goes to title company or closing attorney depending on state.this is a fruad AND A SCAMMER..

I am also looking at trying to do some wholesaling to try and generate some money to start looking at rehabbing.A little about me, I am 31 and finally starting to realise that no matter what I do I can't make enough money to raise a family with working a standard W-2 and I have always wanted to start my own business for as long as I can remember.

Does anyone have a standard contract for this?

A true turnkey who has rehabbed everything to a high standard is selling you an awesome property BUT you are paying a lot of money for it.

Again just my inexperienced opinion but common sense to me is yes you should have standard products like paint color and even the brand and model of toilets you use.

For your money/equity to earn it's keep you deduct $833 directly off the top of your monthly rental income before any other expenses for every 100K of equity in your property.

Is your agent a good agent by objective standards?

Perhaps we won't be so lucky here in the Long Beach area, but I'm curious if anyone happens to know any local lenders who have offerings better than the standard 75% LTV?
