If you are hiring things out, start looking for reputable contractors now.

Therefore, a good reputation, a cash offer with no contingencies supported by proof of funds, and a quick closing date will make your offer much more attractive.As far as the price, the trustee and court will likely approve significant loss on the asset if the secured lender approves it. 

It's also important to make sure you're borrowing from a reputable source--Make sure you know your lender, look at their portfolio, their financials, etc.

A good reputation?

Was top regional listing agent one month, won a few listing competitions at work and got my name known so I had enough of a reputation as hustler....I also had a baby 2mos after getting my license.  2nd year I pulled back and started focusing on making connections with investors and contractors.  

Quicken has always held a very reliable reputation.

Anyone know of a reputable Insurance company/agent that could write a Vacant Construction Polity/Builder's Risk coverage for a renovation then after the renovation move that policy into a Landlord policy?

The holding costs taking longer to sell on the market will eclipse the extra cost of fixing the problem correctly the first time.Additionally if you want to keep flipping properties you want to build a good reputation.
