I am not sure they have adjusted for inflation over time.

A short disclaimer, this was not part of our original plan, but we adjusted to accommodate some income!

it may not help, but I would play around the website, surely there is a spot where you can edit your bid....I was in the same spot but with hubzu and I was able to make adjustments to my proxy bid

Colin Schleining I don't know any contractors for residential, we self perform our contracts (we do everything with our employees), we don't need subs unless it is a specialty, like asphalt paving, or something with machine intensive.

They did not just file bankruptcy or close EquityBuild, they did not walk away from their investors, they worked through the issue and then made adjustments to their procedures to insure a similar situation does not occur in the future.You also mentioned housing or building court cases files against EquityBuild and that is very true, but you need to remember they are buying distressed properties, most with existing building violations that they are assuming, and then repairing the properties to resolve the issues and obtain occupancy certifications for the buildings.

Keep in mind that we're talking about inflation adjusted dollars for this index.

If I've posted this in the wrong forum, please notify me and I will adjust this.

Can the rents simply be adjusted to cover most of the expense?

I would say flipping houses is probably one of the most capital intensive sectors of RE investing.

If it did consistently take long periods of time to fill, I would consider a rent adjustment, improvements to the unit, or selling the unit as a poor performer.
