Jason, somehow I could tell when reading your comment that you must know a few things about landscaping before I saw it in your header that you're in the biz, all good ideas and I always do the yard work including at least some landscaping work on any flip, even on a cheap house people will be turned off right away when they pull up and the first thing they see is a crappy looking yard!

First, if you just got the place and got a loan, look at the appraisal as the appraiser may have had comments concerning baseboard heat, the usually do.

I'd be interested if they do anything about the check forgery.Also I'll thank Jerry for his clever aside, that was the most amusing facetious comment I read on these boards in a while

This might be of interest to you. http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/24/subject-to-direct-mail-woman-investing-podcast/#comment-165606 Either the realtor you spoke to was misinformed, or maybe the rules vary from state to state, like you said.

@Cameron Miles First off, thank you for your service.I'll just comment on your partner.

@Samuel George all good points from the comments above.I doubt the issues can be fixed for under $15k.In addition, it sounds like an older home and that means rougher area [most of the time] - are you sure this can be retail flipped?

thank you John and Bill for the comments and advice.

I will second the appraisal comment.

If anything else is needed, please leave a comment and I'll respond.RegardsZahoor

Thank you for the comments.
