Hello Everyone, I am working with a client for sale of his fix and flip.

@Charlene McNamara  was your heloc fixed or variable rate?

He likes to be paid that way on fixed cost jobs.This company will be building a garage for me and a room addition on another house as cost plus. 

Hello, everyone, My new construction house will close on 9/24, but the builder refused to fix the defective works behind the drywall, deposit $25000, Arbitration clause on the contract, what should i do?

I really don't know where else to look, but I really want to get this fixed before posting too much more.

Many of the units are 50's and 60's models, and anything that old is going to put up a pretty heavy fight before those wheels will roll - and then you have to hope the axles don't start on fire after 2 miles.

Hope the new CRE models are available for sale soon - a must get product!

Now I have settled outside of Denver, CO and started my family here.I have fantastic tenants (a family of 5) who always pay on time and even do minor fixes and repairs themselves.

Get good properties in good areas and get a good screening process in place.Other risks, include regulatory risks which I think are in proportion to the size/scope of projects you take on (if you're fixing up houses lets say before renting them).Other risks include common maintenance items.
