Some providers take the approach that a furnace or water heater with several years of expected life shouldn't be replaced in the rehab, but that the final product should be priced accordingly. 

wholesaler approached me with it How did you finance this deal?

First time posting in quite a while and wanted to get some advice on how to approach this scenario.We’ve been living in our current home (condo) for 3 years which we purchased with a VA loan.

So you may want to pull the trigger and get a rate lock before you miss these rates.When you own properties you can also take out a HELOC after you purchase the home if repairs are needed above your initial cost approach.

As long as you are providing a well maintained home, the rest should all have a strategic business approach to it, not personal.

This approach seems to provide ANONYMITY + ASSET PROTECTION LAYERS.

A slightly less volatile approach, depending on the state the property is in, would be to do a JV (joint venture).

The approach will be a manager-managed LLC with a general partner and 200 limited partners. 

Deal sourced through networking, partnership flip approach, rehab was financed through a HELOC.

  $80k sounds pretty high to me even to tear-down-rebuild, which is probably an excessive approach just to make parts align right.The dividing line between owner-occupiers and investors in buying and selling decisions is the investor approach is the numbers.
