I’m currently looking at a house as a live-in flip while renting the lower level (with my back up plan being a regular flip or multi rental).It’s listed for $365k but my offer will be closer to $210k due to the extensive repairs.

If you agree buying for yourself is not an issue, then your employee (buying for your account) is a direct extension of you.

We already had to pay extension fees on the hard money loans because the loans had gone past their original maturity dates.  

Unmitigated water damage becomes mold damage and and there is the potential of extensive smoke damage in the same airspace.

As many guests do, I also assemble and update a guidebook of local recommendations that rotate by season (since we have 4 where I live).

 Some won't do newbies some will.Don't pay any funds upfront other than appraisal, watch out for points those get expensive, being your new ask what it cost for extensions.  

Funds also tend to have more fees which sometimes can be justified by the extensive track record of the sponsor (you get what you pay for!). 

With the 200% rule, can I identify more properties, than I ultimately buy or once identified do I have to buy all identified properties.Search extensively on line, all information vague.  

Ive driven Audi's, Mercedes, Porsche, and I've worked on cars extensively and nothing beats Toyota.

I know now how extensive animal contamination tends to be and that you often have to tear out the building material or seal it with shellac or oil based primer...
