Only use an agent that has done several of these transactions- there are few an far between.Also, most agents will want the commission when they complete the lease option agreement, not when they compelte the sale.

Hi everyone,I am in the process of evaluating some properties to do a flip on and am putting together a timeline to complete renovations by.

I don't agree that it's a bait and switch - a complete PITA and frustrating - totally.The owner can initialize sale of the property during any point of the pre-foreclosure/default process up until a certain date, as I understand it.

Today my investors stay with me because of my ability to find them deals, my willingness to work as hard as needed, and to take their projects to completion.

If you compare it to a savings account, it looks completely different.The average flip is turning in $20-30k out in under a 6 month hold on 100k-125k investment.  

On the other hand, another expert thinks it would be cost prohibitive to find and keep good tenants, even if I fixed it up completely to current standards for the area based on the location. 

So it completely depends on what sort of investor you want to be.

@George Blower right, so would it be based on top of my current income and bracket or is it completely separate?

The light sensors of digital cameras are optimized to work best in this light temperature and the white-balancing programming that interprets the raw data and turns it into a jpeg-format shot does the least heavy lifting with this light temperature -- it's a feature of how the tech works.

Once the rehab is complete, (ideally) refinance the property into a traditional loan4.
