I registered here recently, and after doing some browsing aroundI've come to the conclusion that I am extremely ignorant at this point regardingthe details of property investment or flipping.

If you just ask general questions, you may not find out some detail you really need to know.Jon

It would likely be mortgage fraud if you are not disclosing the full details to the lender.Assume lenders are more concerned about fraud now than they were in the past.

Please help detail these if you can.

Unless you are providing the equivalent of a mil-spec for the scope of work, there is a tremendous variable in materials, application, preparation, workmanship, project management, and 1001 other details.

Dean,:welcome:Thanks for taking the time to share all the details. it really does help to provide an idea of your background, your market and other details.

It is a tough way to make money if you have to stick to original details.

If your going to rent it even worse you renter will not be happy living above what seems like a toxic chemical dump. they ll call the health department and boy your troubles are just starting now you don't want them finding a hazardous wasteland under the house get in there now while its easy to access plus it will just build up and you ll have rats the size of small dogs under your house and it can cause foundation problems. your better of not selling this problem to someone else you may end up in court if they see chemicals they ll know you knew about it sometimes(most times) there is no shortcut you ll have to rework your budget to accept this.

So, I try to stay productive cause one day I won't have the strength or maybe the health to do labor.

Shirley,Details matter.Broadly what you want is an investment property loan.
