If they have been through a market cycle or two past projects have more weight in my mind.

The more needy they are the faster you should run away from them.

It's a risk,  but 19 times out of 20 the seller and listing agent will conclude that giving you the extra week is faster than starting from scratch with a new buyer.

I have been using the brrr method and want to start using private money lenders to help grow faster.

Now I’m trying to build the portfolio a little faster and recycle my downpayment so to speak. 

Doing a BRRRR is going to get you to your second and third property faster but you should do whatever you a comfortable with to prevent you from becoming super stressed out.

I'm looking to start scaling up and acquiring faster (better!)

this is great, I just feel that it'd go faster if I have more than one person looking for deals, but I agree it might not be fair.

Having 2 bathrooms vs. 1 will certainly increase the value and help it to sell faster should you list it down the road, as most buyers are looking for a 3 bd 2 bth house.If you're running new plumbing to the enclosed porch area for the new bath, that'll be your biggest expense, but for a bath size of 6x10 you should certainly be able to do it for less than $10k.Did you go through with the deal?

So when a loved one is going through something difficult, know that the simple act of being there to show your love and support can make the difference between them succumbing to the weight of the pressure, or rising up to the occasion and pushing through to the other side.
