This has had roof paneling redone in 2015, but not a new roof. 

I know me, and I'd be the guy that falls for the sick dog, lost job, flat tire, dead gerbil, and alien abduction story every time.

As able" doesn't jive with flat tax. 

Does anyone know of any sponsoring brokers who would be open to doing a flat fee or comission percentage and sponsor a new broker who has the intent to wholesale properties?

Have you considered buying as owner-occupant 3-4 flats with FHA loans? 

@Ashish AcharyaAshish, If I get a private lender to purchase a home and my sole purpose is to flip the home, do I get taxed a percentage depending on how much I netted from the home, or is a flat percentage?

I am getting a 10% flat ROI for a 6 month term.

You could also do some shelving on the outside wall that is covered in wood paneling to make a pantry.Google images for kitchen with brick wall and you will see lots of good ideas.

If you are struggling to figure it out and you aren't working with a realtor, maybe consider asking a realtor if they will help you figure out the ARV for a flat fee of $50-$100. 

There is zero confusion on my end.The way a typical SF lease initially works is a group of friends collectively apply to a flat, the owner approves them, signs a lease, etc. just like anywhere.
