@Adam David GraningNobody yet pointed out this critical caveat: even if the property is placed in service by 12/31, you will likely need to pass "material participation" test in order to benefit from your losses.

Present due diligence package to our investor pool 8.

This is a direct quote from PRnewswire: ‘The complaint filed alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the algorithm used by the Company to make offers for homes could not accurately adjust to changing house prices across different market conditions and economic cycles; (2) as a result, the Company was at an increased risk of sustaining significant and repeated losses due to residential real estate pricing fluctuations; (3) accordingly, Defendants overstated the purported benefits and competitive advantages of the algorithm; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.’

For me I pay all contractors , materials, inspections, I do the showings and placement of tenants once rented I then go and refi out and that depends reg 30 year fix is my preferred method of refinancing out. 

Does anyone have a good one pager, flyer, or other marketing material that they share with owners in a situation where you would like to rent their property to then sublet out short term?

Instead I  had the materials delivered for $800 and paid a guy $1500 labor to tear off and install.

Don't approach them yet but have your list and a package ready for an approach. 

This is true sometimes, but in some scenarios, brand new properties end up producing significantly MORE maintenance/repair headaches than older properties.The reasons are:1) Some building techniques/materials are far superior to those used in the past, but some are not, and some are unproven.

thanks for the feedback. the inflation of materials probably turned a $100k rehab into $135k

Do any rehabbers have a mood board materials list type thing that they just use for all of their builds that way they can just buy quantity of x material whenever it is on sale.
