I am struggling with the timeline of getting a loan for a flip, offering/negotiating, estimating costs, appraisal and developing your scope of work. 

sigh, how about giving us an estimate and we can decide for ourselves. 

Do you already have the $125k HELOC secured or is that your estimate? 

We estimate having about $100k in equity, $72k remaining mortgage ($375/mo) and an estimated value of $170k+, granted, in this insane market.Comps in our area are renting for $1500+ per month (we’re within walking distance of a university and booming downtown area).I feel like we’re in a great position to convert to a rental and leverage our equity but I’m not sure how to approach the conversion of our current home and acquisition of our next.

So he can have fair estimate of whst something costs just by looking at it.Good luck with your research.

Do I estimate it solely based on the exterior condition of the property (assuming the exterior condition is a good indicator of the interior condition)?

In addition to the $28,000 there is a $300 wholesaler fee and then closing costs which I estimate to be no more than $2,000.

2) Any estimate on how long it might take in GA during these Covid days, to get thru the whole eviction process if tenant becomes "holdover"? 

So I estimate I can get these additional seven properties within the next 12 to 18 months if things with financing go well.

(Estimated rent minus all expenses).
