Here are some key red flags to watch for:🔴 Lack of experience: A borrower without a proven track record in real estate projects may struggle to navigate unexpected challenges.🔴 Overly optimistic projections: Unrealistic ARV (after-repair value) or underestimated rehab costs can signal poor planning—or worse, a lack of transparency.🔴 Incomplete or disorganized documentation: Missing detailed plans, financial statements, or timelines could mean the borrower isn’t ready to execute the project successfully.🔴 Over-leveraged finances: Borrowers with excessive debt or insufficient personal capital invested in the deal could pose a greater risk of default.🔴 Questionable property comps: Overstated market values or inappropriate comparables may mean they’re inflating expectations.As always, thorough due diligence is your best protection.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m exploring house hacking using Airbnb as part of my real estate strategy, and I’ve come across a challenge I’m hoping you can help me with.

Even the valuation of these by MAI appraisers value them at something like double their average sale value.  

It is November 25th and there is only about 35 days left in the year with a lot of professionals who take off the last week of the year.Given that information, you will likely need to buy a poperty with a quick close to achieve what you are looking to do.

You will need two years of your 1099 documented income to qualify for a loan as a 1099 employee, both years of taxes complete for them to formally pre-approve you most likely.You need to bank as much money as possible.

New irrigation, sod, plants, trees, rocks/shell, paver patio, driveway, exterior lighting, and fence.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@John Underwood @Jay Hinrichs It reminds me of my first short sale.

I'm exploring the idea of renting out property to Section 8 tenants in St.
