Repairs cost more than anticipated  

If you decide to go that route, hire an experienced management company and underwrite very conservatively otherwise you could get ruined by high maintenance & turnover costs and potentially evictions.

Hi bought ten lots of land in Sebring Florida its R# zoned paying for upfront construction cost need help with getting a mortgage once its built so I can continual to build on  the rest of the lots going to be about 18 homes made of containers I have 3 other investors working with me.

It always seems to take longer, cost more and cause more stress than I plan 

That's three months of mortgage and utilities, the cost of flooring, and the cost of painting.

You can go to another CPA that just files and doesn't really look into your financials and their cost could be less but you're actually paying for it in the long run.

It costs 10k for them to complete one deal for you and to get your foot in the door.

I knew that I could probably cover these cost on a sub 185k home, but that still left closing cost and other unknown expenses to come.

What would something like this possibly cost? 

We haven't tried CHBO because of the cost per property but my VAs have a list of about 15+ sites they list all of our properties on.
