Destruction of property would be my biggest red flag. 

It can be a fellow investor, your parents, your friend or a private money source and so on.

The CoC for me isn’t the biggest deal though I know for me I want to have a higher CoC then my loan interest rate is, makes me feel like I’m getting somewhat ahead.  

I do not recommend this to novice landlords, it is definatly not a business practice suited to all landlords for obvious reasons.My biggest problem, specific to my rent controlled market, is that they always stay too long.

Recently, I have had a significant upswing in demand in my market(I build and flip homes outside the metros in AZ) and I no longer can get by on just the same sources of cash I’ve used over the last few years.

I anticipate being off in just about every area but know that I am particularly struggling with the cost of estimating the rehab (even just ballparking it) as well the financial aspect of coming from an initial source of capital (i.e. a hard money loan) and transitioning to a lower interest amortized one.Thanks in advance, can't wait to see everyone tear it apart!

We are in our due diligence period now and one of the biggest issues we found during the home inspection was more roof damage than we originally thought.

We get deals though MLS and some private deals, but for the good properties, we still see bidding wars. 2) The challenge isn't getting the down payment these days - a lot of folks have built equity in their homes - it is the qualification on the mortgage that's the biggest show stopper.

That can work but you'll likely need to go further from the GTA.HELOCs however are great not only as a source for down payment or renovation but you can also privately lend for 2nd mortgages off of your HELOC.Lend out borrowed funds at 4.5% & receive returns of minimum 11% right there you can make 6.5% return on money that isn't really yours in the first place.

What sources would you use?
