One problem with extensions, if the BPO gets to be 90 days old before closing, which it shouldn't in your case, it will expire and the bank will order a new one which will cause a delay, and could result a higher approved price.

@Julia Geiger  There are a couple properties that match that criteria.  

I have had some of the siding of my rental house blown off in the recent winds I need some one to give me a price to put about 11 siding boards back on the house and paint them to match the existing paint as best they can this is in the 38128 zip code 

We are developing parcelion.com - a patent-pending technology that enables real estate investors and  buyers to search for properties that may be attractive for new development, rebuilding, or remodeling in compliance with local rules and regulations and potentially result in lucrative return–on-investment (ROI).We need your feedback and we are looking for partnership with RE investors, flippers, lenders, agents, and pros.

Look at Thumbtack, I get work off of it and I've used it to hire people with pretty good results.   

Could be good advice, but there's a lot more to consider when making such a decision, obviously.So is this anti-real estate mentality a result of lack of understanding, or seeing other clients' lack of success in REI?

You can use an FHA to get into a duplex for 3 1/2 percent down plus closing costs if you are going to owner occupy ( reside) in it for at least a year.If you want to flip without a lot of money - well that going to be a tougher gig - you may want to see if you can partner up with someone who does have the money or maybe you can match funds - either way the point is a partner can open up doors to paths you may not have thought were available.

The result of the lawsuit was this $25 insurance policy to guarantee if this were to happen to you that you would get your funds back.  

They'll have similar or if lucky exact door matches.

We slow flipped two homes over the past 5 years and had some good results.
