You can have all the marketing and advertising in the world but if you're not the valuable agent/realtor guess what, the vast majority of people will do some level of research and they will stumble upon a person who has years of experience, expertise, and they intelligently think "hey, this is serious, it's a lot of money, let's be smart and get the best person we can find on this not just any old person". 

The cash-out refi process is more to my level of understanding so I'm comfortable with it but just worried it's a bad move considering what my scenario is?

Simply asking yes or no questions doesn't give enough context to their level of experience.A very good agent should be able to ballpark rehabs as well.

Since most property rights, or limits to occur on a state or local level, it’s more important than ever for real estate investors and note investors to consider the location of the property investing in or collateralizing the note.

@Drew Sygit Just curious as to your level of experience with wholesaling?

@Adib Rahman Depending on the configuration you might be able to get a gravity pump or lift pump (not sure what it’s actually called) for the bathroom fixtures that will pump the water up to the level it needs to be at to flow into the pipes.

Some people are concerned about the service charges directly and some are more concerned about the amount of time their machines are down and their priority level for the tech. 

Of course....but you still left money on the table.Ultimately it depends on you and your comfort level....

I had started to demo the bathroom and figured out quickly it was beyond my skill level.
