We had a small portfolio of Hard Money Loans over the years that have since been paid off so not new to the lending side. 

@William HooFatt how much is your time really worth?

If you're going to do this you need to do it with intention.

I typically use regional banks to fund my deals but my 2 go-to banks have either slowed or fully stopped investment loans so recently I've connected with several online brokers but all came from ads or they reached out to me vs personal recommendations and intros so I have concerns. 

If it is not in the contract, the contractor has the right to believe they are not responsible for it. 

The variability can also have to do with how different landlords approach pricing.

Thank You  @Wale Lawal and @Robin Simon Yes I am leaning towards BRRRR, though still figuring it out as to criteria of how much distressed a property should be or how to determine how much work it needs.

Quote from @Deborah Wodell: I bought a hoarder house and decided to renovate it myself.

I’m exploring all options to try to save myself.
