I have also seen contractors take your leftover materials to another job site or switch the high quality materials you wanted used on your property for leftover inferior stuff they already had. 

@Charles Morris I found my last fix n flip by making and “I buy houses” post on the local Facebook social site, the owner was very motivated and saw my post at the right time.

, would it be possible to use the remaining funds to perform capital improvements, and is there a maximum dollar amount limitation on this before it's considered "boot"?

I was referred to this site by a local investor and friend of mine, and the value of what this site has available to us is truly incredible.  

It is my worst performing San Diego RE. 

There are 4 Scott Meyers on the site, so I'm not sure which one to tag for you.

If rodents are seen closer to the unit, then you'd have to have the area clean of debris anyway before further treatment could be performed.  

That is assuming that the buyer is willing to wait the six month period.If your agent isn't performing his job, speak with him about it.

. - I decided I didn't want to mess with it because Im starting another project with higher potential return.Now, as an example, I look at this one:https://www.zillow.com/homes/63-GRANVUE-DRIVE-BELL...Its on the Auction block, if I picked it up for 2 or 3k, and sold it for 10k to someone else who wants to work with it, essentially a wholesale deal, and didn't spend any money fixing it up, and agreed to max 1k realtor fees if any, I might make some money on it.If you go to our county tax assessor site, and search '63 Granvue', youll see that 1) the total taxes for 2018 are $2981.38, and 2) they are paid by the bank already for 2018 http://www.co.st-clair.il.us/Pages/parcel.aspxWhat I am asking is - if I bought this at auction, and sold it within a couple of months as a property someone else can rehab, how would the property taxes work / what would I end up paying? 

Something clicked and made me remember this site and I decided to join.My background: I’ve been in sales most of my working career and abt 3 years ago I started doing mortgages at a major company and loved it.
