Is there a set time or rule that banks use? 

There's no rule but I'm imagining you'd want to cover a month's worth of expenses if left vacant in January.

Look at the 50% Rule cash flow.  

I understand it will depend on the condition of the house but is there a general rule for that? 

Please reach out to our support team. 

Home builders have pulled back to support levels and I expect a big bounce in the next month.

However, I have a friend who just became a realtor and I'm big on supporting friends and their endeavors so I am supporting her.The homes within a 1 mile radius that are comparable to the home I just flipped and am about to put on the market are selling for the price I want to list mine as.
