My private lender assures me I have unlimited funding for deals

While making some small talk with my biggest investor about looking for more deals he gave me the "green light" to shop for more deals and jokingly said that he wants to see my debt to him grow much bigger.If you are struggling to raise private money get extremely detailed on what you plan to do with your investors money and kick on doors till you get your first yes!

Didn't read all of it.When you buy carpet you can get a plastic vapor barrier put in underneath to try and protect the floor.You can turn off the lights and take a black light to show all the urine stains.

Preselling a Flip
7 September 2015 | 7 replies
Here is the type of wording we use in an addendum to our contracts if we presell a house:In order to compensate the seller for the items and finishes that may need to change should the closing not occur because of any contingency in the contract, the parties agree that there shall be a separate deposit of $20,000.00 which shall be non-refundable to the purchasers should the transaction not close.These funds are not earnest money that is in any way refundable to the purchaser should the contract fail to close.This means if we give them allowances to pick out lighting, tile, etc. and they pick out items we would never have picked and the house doesn't close -- for ANY REASON (loan doesn't go through, appraisal too low, they simply change their minds, etc.), we get the $20,000 so that we can then do the house as we see fit.There are many other pitfalls you must pay attention to when selling early, but none as important as this one.

How do you label your units addresses on a quadplex? A,B,C,D?
5 September 2015 | 3 replies
The county did it, the post office was flexible, Florida Power and Light refused to change their designations.I would probably tend to use one that provides continuity and the least confusion to most.
