As it is, just the length of the section probably makes people who would get approved think that they won't. 1/3 is pretty much the norm for many people and what people recommend when preparing budgets. 

My budget is capped at about 100k, all in.

Threatened with steep fines, after sending the certified letter, the threats disappeared, as the city (in this case Los Angeles), decides they don't have the budget to fight the US federal government in court, and lose (which happens every time the feds have defended the Fair Housing Act).  

My budget is small now and I need that first deal to keep my momentum going.

There are wires that stretch between each building for Duke Energy, Comcast, security cameras, etc.Last month a Rent-A-Center truck took out a bunch of my lines - I have the whole thing on video:https://youtu.be/BafD7fb5E-Mhttps://youtu.be/C0p-5q7MMiMTheir insurance company is refusing to pay the claim because they say my wires are not high enough and do not comply to NESC Guidelines.Does anybody know what NESC is, and as an apartment building owner is there some expectation of compliance?

Should we pursue the flip, and renovate at the higher repair amount, pushing our rehab budget closer to $90K or should we be conservative (or safe), do the bare minimum to get it ready to rent, and maintain it as a property that will be held as rental???

This stuff is ugly and it's costly to fix if you're working on a tight reno budget. 

And a Food Truck Park with bar and stage, servicing 13 individual vendors.

I have a remodel on a budget so it's important to get it right. 

From there, you want to make sure you have a 6 month min. budget in mind for direct mail.
