@Marc ShinMake sure to double whatever they tell you it will cost and take 2x as long and then have someone to come repair all the shoddy work that was done.Hopefully you have working bathrooms otherwise you may have some surprises hidden behind your walls

I have not found one opportunity yet that gives me an ARV of 75%.Any professional investor will tell you that if you go over that the amount of work that you have to put doesn't worth the return.My latest was found in the MLS where we got a better deal than what I was getting from wholesalers.Let me clarify that the wholesaler business is needed, but it seems at the lack of deals they are putting the pressure to then investors. 

There was an additional cost of 3k that we didn't expect because we didn't walk the attic, but that's to be expected for a sight unseen offer.
