Only once did I re-negotiate because of termite damage that I found during the inspection, but even closed on that one after a small renegotiation to the price.

They'll schedule a property inspection prior to getting on the approved list.

The closer to the Sugarloaf Country Club Community, the better.

Wasn't an inspection done before you moved in?

We didn't ingest video but we did ingest property inspection reports to seed the data for a new property.I'm sure they are doing much, much more by now.

The second offer was 86k, 3k in cc and I pay for inspections and survey, lol I was going to counter them back at 109k, but then I took a breath =)I then responded with a highest and best to both, buyer 2 ( 86k) came back at 96k with all of the same concessions.

Incredibly, a neighbor walked over during the inspection before I had even closed, and made an offer.

for a newbie ..the best property is the one that you can access as many times as possible before you close. having the property under contract and "acting" as an owner, contractors will talk to you ..you can get bids, quotes, do inspections, termite letters, radon tests, mold test, etc ...imagine bringing army of inspectors when an owner still lives there ..not possible. you control purchase price ...so make sure you factor all things you need to change, add, update into ur costs ...u need to discover as much stuff as possible. once u do 10 flips ..probably short 10 minute walk will be enough to get u rough idea ..but by that time ...inspect, inspect, inspect

I'll fill out your buyers from when I am closer to buying time.Hope to see you around town sometime.

We're now working on our first flip, and are planning to sell our current home once renovations are done, and move into a small multi-family closer to my day-job in New Orleans.We'd love to connect with other investors in both the Mobile and New Orleans area, or really anywhere (we like to travel) and continue to grow in the REI field.
