One nice thing but commonly overlooked is that the newer properties have post tension foundations.

For me, I eased in with a rental-ready property that does cash flow, but just not that much.

I plan to replace it all with a spiral staircase but will keep it around for demo and construction for ease of access.The fireplace will be removed.

It seemed like a good way to ease into the rental side of investing -- no reno., no property manager, etc.

If you play your cards right, you finish right when Covid restrictions ease and you're one of the few new rehabs on the market, less competition.That's my 2 cents.

Let me know if you need a referral on that.Might be tricky to get something sold right now but don't let that stop you from working on your property in castle hills because once restrictions ease it's probably going to fly.

HML's can certainly control their lending rates and criteria, but they can't control the amount of viable flipping inventory, which is tight right now and with no clear end in sight.As long as there is money to be made flipping homes and with virtually no barriers to entry, I don't see any ease in demand among those new to the game, who appear unlimited in number and completely willing to overpay and drive prices up.

I like the ease of use however save every single communication you have with them.

I have a broker associate who can answer your questions with confidence, ease and 6 years of sales experience. 

Using cash to get a cash discount and or a negotiating edge due to ease of closing and the fickle lenders and associated appraiser issues melts away.
