I would fix it now and eat the cost unless you can make it a condition of sale for the current owner to replace it.

Hello Massachusetts BP members. I wanted to ask you guys what your thoughts are on Bristol county. Primarily New Bedford, Dartmouth, Fall River, and Taunton.I'm looking to rehab a few properties and wholesale anything...

Low their rents slightly to fix small issues.

Downtown McKinney and areas west of 75 are getting fixed up left and right and the values are climbing.

60 years is pretty much standard around here... but since your property now has a known problem (trust me, title insurers do not operate in a vacuum), the time period is irrelevant.Switching title companies wouldn't fix the problem, it would actually hurt you.

You wouldn't need 25% on a fix and flip with a hard money lender it would be more like 10% to 15%  of total costs Most  HML will provide up to 90% LTC on deals not to exceed 75% of the ARV 

I have a family friend who is willing to provide me with a hard money loan to finance my next fix and flip property.

While there, watching the sunset over the ocean, brainstorm why you want to do real estate and which of the following below you want to do & where.Decide which kind of investor you want to be (SFR, Commercial, Land, Tax Liens, Passive, HML, Multi-Family, Notes, Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, "Subject To", apartments, duplexes, assisted living, REOs, Foreclosures, Short Sales), etc.

I've been house hacking since then and been trying to little by little fix things up and build up more equity in the property.
