I have had trouble with accurately estimating rehab costs I'm not sure if the best route is to start calling subcontractors and ask for bids on an example house or if I should just get a GC or someone who is experienced in the area to walk properties with me at the start?

You are correct- you can do delayed financing before the six month seasoning period, but it cannot exceed the purchase price and closing costs.

If I understand this correctly (and I'm going to go back and re-listen to #301)… your approach is genius.

I'm an active courthouse buyer and @Elizabeth Wilson is correct. 

They are one of our "reporters" if the contractor is doing the job correctly.

@Steve MilkaThat is correct, you can use the capital gains exemption only once every two years.Also, you can only get the exemption if you lived in the property for 2 of the last 5 years.

You are correct, we did not file a partnership return.

Verifiable income is a thing when it comes to the VA home loan, correct?

But you should ask when considering making a bid just to be safe, because there is the possibility that a seller has included them in there...

We've already experienced this, missing out on the chance to bid on property by hours, because someone saw the house on Monday when we wanted to go in on Sunday but didn't get to until Tuesday because my agent was unavailable.
