The most important thing for every investor to get you through your first fix and flip deal or 100 th deal comes down to experience and credit.The higher the credit the better pricing terms are.Usually higher credit less down payment to bring to table.Lower the credit higher down payment to bring to the table.Experience is the icing on the cake and can overcome credit issues in most cases because the lender can see that you know ehat your doing.However if credit is to low or negative the pricing may still be a little higher relative to what a prime borrower will get with significant experience and credit.So all in all its a sliding scale credit plus experience is the golden ticket for prime pricing and the most leverage.If either of these are not ideal...No problem pricing changes where you may be charged higher interest relative to a prime borrower or have to bring money down or pay monthly interest.Its all relative to your deal and scenario and gameplan.

I had a landlord once give me movie tickets after an inconvenient repair.

The expense ratio given by the seller was grossly underestimated as some of the above posters suspected...the expense ratio for the 5 years hovered around 60% including the large ticket items below...good prediction Joel and Jeff!

I hate it when I get an invite to a Webinar hoping to learn something new, and sometimes I get lucky, then I get hit by a ticket price in order to continue learning.

Usually those cases involve big ticket items.
