Some have actually even done worse damage to the item they were sent to fix. 

I was just curious if you could please share your wisdom about how to find properties for fix & flip.

hello, I have just bought a property that needs a) fumigation (section 1), b) landscape grading to improve drainage, c) crawspace/foundation work to repair some piers and fix sump pump, and d) minor interior remodel and retrofit window. 

Anyone experienced this  or know how to fix it? 

I have an easy fix for it, but what do you guys think the value will go up to after it's fixed?

It can be done - similar to the ever-popular BRRRR model. 

But the contract itself has a stricter timeline.I'm not entirely sure what you are getting at.You say "Right, but if there is 17 day inspection period and Sellers/Agent provides TDS on day 17" ... all this does is give buyer additional time to cancel since buyer has a certain period of time from receipt of TDS to cancel.If your goal is to give seller additional time to cancel then giving them the TDS on day 17 will accomplish your goal.The inspection timer starts upon sellers acceptance of purchase contract.Also, I'd have to go back and read the contract, but I think if anything 'material' pops up whether from inspection, TDS or otherwise buyer gets additional time to either cancel or seller to fix.

In what instances would you consider doing this?

@Aaron Porter it’s not bad, I think you could get around the 5.5-5.7% neighborhood on a 30-yr fixed residential loan right now.

Eventually I'll gradually move along to Fix & Flip, moving into Buy and Hold any many other REI ventures.
