Hopefully a fix is in the works soon. 

I have a couple of items to fix that came up on inspection.Best, -JD

An estoppel certificate fixes this problem.

find and fix the source of the leak.

only the GC makes it ok. you should have your personal realtor that will sell the property after it is fixed speak with the GC and look at the house before and after. your realtor should give you before and after pricing. an appraiser is only good if you need a loan, other then that they are absolutely worthless!

However, your flip needs to have enough earning potential to cover the HML's high points (fee) they charge at closing and gets rolled into the loan (3-4% of total loaned amount). 3) I did my last flip with putting a conventional 30 yr fixed and paid the down payment and reno costs in cash/LOC.

But she kept treating my friends and family members as contractors who come to my house to fix something etc.

As I say I think we are in the 6/7 th inning of this cycle as lenders are starting to "chase" business and loosen up standards and the folks that were hurt in the last bust have had their credit "fixed" just enough to qualify for homes again.  

It would take you approx 13.5 Months to overcome the loss of one month rent PLUS you will moist definitely have some fix-up / make ready expenses if these folks move out. 

If my lender told me an oddball number was a pain for them.... pretty simple fix, I'd find another lender.
