I invest a lot in PERE, and if someone brought me a deal and asked me to be an equity partner, but then changed their mind in order to make more money after I had already spent time on due diligence for that particular deal, I'm not sure how receptive I'd be if they then came back to me for the next one.I guess it all depends how much you've involved this potential partner in the deal to date, and therefore whether they feel like you reneged on a commitment to work together.There's the adage that half of a deal is better than no deal.

If what you're realtor brought up was close to 70k they might have cast a VERY wide net.

I really appreciate it.So I contacted the city and they said it will have to be brought up to code so looks like it will have to be the floor/roof assembly.One Last question if you don't mind.

He found these issues and brought them to our attention.

Should they be brought into the process before making the offer, during the offer, or after?

There is so much value brought by not only the content like you mentioned, but the members and their experience as well.  

You’ve brought up some great things to think about.

I have worked in both interior design and marketing, and thought that flipping would be a nice cumulation of all of my skills that would actually put real cash into my pockets, although I have ended up just sitting on my license.However, my desire to flip houses has only increased as I've watched market values skyrocket and increase rates drop as my stagnant income suffers because a year's worth of lockdowns have brought events to a halt.

But the questions brought up by @Michael Glist would still be relevant. 

My brokerage, CRT, Realtors uses it and when I was brought on to start the commercial and investment department back in June, I was very wary and frankly, slightly overwhelmed by the system.
