I need $33,500-$40,000 to complete the rehab including cost of permits, labor, and materials.

Idea on cost to tackle this?

Another investor of ours wanted to grow their portfolio and their goal was to diversify out of the west cost.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620, many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Would we be able to pocket the buyer commission to remedy the final sales price or closing costs?

My concern is what will happen to my future insurability or insurance cost increases if I go this route.

Most of the properties I have available are $300,000-700,000; so if a hard money lender requires 25% down, with closing costs of 1-2%, and the hard money lender wants $20,000 in reserves, plus 1% to the hard money lender, we're looking at anywhere between $104,000 to $216,000 out of pocket costs. 

Moreover you don't have to pay any fees, commission or standard closing cost either.Let me know if this interest you.

Are you able to do the cost seg or paying someone else? 

And the soft costs can easily pass 100K before your project even starts.
