They have to rent in the interim as there is an extended waiting period before their new house was ready due to demand and supply constraints.In the end I wish I had 10 more houses to rent, but those currently on the market are priced so high, $1,695/month generally won't cash flow.

What do you think of fix/flippers working to extend their hold times out a little longer to take advantage of this recent spike in valuations and drastic drop in DOMs?

Full replacement vs cash value, basic coverage vs extended coverage, etc. 

Don't over-extend yourself, and look forward to the future when the rewards will start to snowball!

Or should they be extending credit to you and wait for you to reimburse them for the expenses they incur on your behalf, since the income isn’t first flowing through them?

Also deals that have been on the market for an extended period of time.

Changing up the bathrooms - adding a wall, moving a water heater to create a bath shower combo, removing a tub to create a walk in shower, moving a toilet over, dividing a bedroom and extending a wall, creating a bedroom etc.

Another contractor told me it has been extending his build time 2 plus months.  

Are they willing to extend the payment period or work out another payment plan.2.

Deal:ARV of $143KPurchase of $75KRepairs are $25KTotal capital is $100K (70% of ARV remember)Turn around is 4 months Draws 8 This is what the Hard money lender terms would look like;LTC (loan to capital) 80%Term 6 monthsInterest 12%Points 2%Misc fees $1500(add ext fees if extending if not ideal stuff happens for an example ) 2 points for 6 month extensionInspection fees of $175 each (remember an ‘inspection’ for each draw to make sure you’re doing the work they think you’re doing with hither money)Now if this flip takes 4 months, here are the total carrying costs;Total loan amount cost $100K (.8 how much lent ) = $80K The two points at 1% = $80K x .2 (for two points) = $1600Interest so the amount lent of $80K x .12 (12% interest) = $9600 in interest (the total ANNUAL interest) so to carry that for a total of four months would be $9600/12 = $800 in the deal for 4 months = $3200 in interest payments Inspection fees cost (remember 8 @$175 each for each ‘draw’) = $1400Now if you didn’t exit the deal in 4 months and added the extension of 6 months you’re adding in the points for the extension (avg of 2 points per 6 months) So points $1600Misc $1500Interest $3200Inspect
