Would you pay for a subscription model say $1000 a month where you got access to knowledgeable investor agent who had zero stake on if the transaction closed but provided you with local knowledge, strategies, ran comps, looked over deals, even looked over home inspection reports, talked in the phone, basically a consultant (you could possibly tack on services like writing offers or seeing a property in person) my thought is if you buy a property relatively quickly, it’s much cheaper than paying 2.5% even if you end up paying for the service for a few month’s and realize it’s not a good time for you to buy you are only out a few thousand dollars as opposed to hundreds of thousands of dollars, this would basically take the agent’s need to sell you a home out the process, presumably there motivation would be to keep you subscripted for as long as possible but you could easily just cancel and if you were interested in buying later resubscribe than.

This might strain the schedule for your project.Risk: Significant financial losses, including the possibility of losing your property in the event that you fail on the loan, might arise from a repair and flip project gone awry.Due Diligence: To make sure a hard money lender is respectable and reliable, it is crucial to carry out extensive research and due diligence before selecting one.Before proceeding with a hard money lender, consider your financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment goals carefully.

Do you have money in case you need repairs?

I'm looking to buy at least 2 single family houses that need minor repair in 2024.

My thought is try to repair it or maybe install french doors.

Most work this way Rates: 9% to 13% (Most Deals are 11-12%)Terms: up to 36 Months (Most Deals are 6-12 months)Fees: 2-4 points(%) of loan amount paid at closing (Most Deals are 3 points(%))Minimum Loan Amount: $50,000 (For loans less than $250,000 $2,500 minimum fee)Max Loan: 65%-70% of After Repair Value(ARV) 100% Rehab Financing Available (Require 20% of purchase price down payment or cross-collateral)Closing Timeframe: 48 Hours - 3 Weeks (Most Deals are 2 Weeks)NO PRIMARY RESIDENCES, NON-OWNER OCCUPIED ONLY, BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.

The cost of homes, rent, shelter etc… is still outpacing wages and most types of goods/services.

Of course I will to pay for this service. 

there are 3 material participation tests we need to pass at least one of them: substantially all work time spent on the property is your doing (including cleaning and repairs)100 hours and more then anyone else( this one I think applies to you) 500 hours (hard to substantiate for one property)Please note for the 100 hour and more then anyone else test you need to not only keep a time log for yourself but a time log of ALL people who have participated in the property.

Is there any other way we can still get them pay for the repairs?
