Christopher and Scott -A rehab-to-perm loan is a two-part loan process that allows real estate investors to purchase and rehab investment properties that they intend to retain as rentals.The problem with purchase mortgages is three-fold. 1. mortgages take too long 2. you cannot get a mortgage on many distressed properties due to problems with foundation, roof, etc 3. you sink too much money into rentals when putting 20% down and then paying all rehab out-of-pocket without reimbursementCash is a great option, but you are limited by the amount of cash you have. 

If you are renovating a bathroom we would be spending $500 for a vanity sink base.

Subject too you can get in low cost or free but the risks associated come with the need for money, silent seconds can ruin your personal life and make refinances possibly impossible or can sink the investment throughout or after liquidation.

I fell in love with the software and support, it was too much of a learning curve on my end, had one person (an architecture graduate) do two weeks to customize the whole software, then tried it with several subs, etc, after two months, reality starts to sink in, all operators were grumpy, the subs wanted to just submit the bid and be done with it, it is harder to adjust our bids to clients on the last minute.

We never used the disposal in the sink, it rusted solid and I had to replace it because it would back up with water when the dishwasher would run.  

Just do not sink so much of your liquid reserves into a property use the banks money!

Where is the sink?  

As far as humidity, could just put a dehumidifier with a pump going to a drain/sink.

The cleaner he sent used some type of cleaning solution that stained my bathroom tile and sink countertops.

I am in over my head and it's sink or swim.
