We run a lease with option to buy model so we are able to keep expenses to a bare minimum. 

If you're business model is doing the BRRRR things just got a little more expensive. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/refinancing-your-mortgage-will-cost-more-thanks-to-a-new-fee-from-fannie-mae-and-freddie-mac-2020-08-13

Events coming up in THIS WEEK - MAREI North has its very first-ever meeting TONIGHT and they are talking about the Kansas City Market, flipping houses and BRRRR with several local investors leading the discussion.MAREI also has is 2nd ever - new concept meeting for members - we attended an event in Ohio last week as a model. 

Maybe try following the wholesaler model if you're looking to find properties that need work but are cheap.

If you wholesale more than 2 properties a year (as a business model) you need to have your real estate license.

I know that is a lot packed into a couple of statements but that's the general idea.The AG in PA has got a real thing for this model I was reading I guess there has been a lot of abuse there in PA so they are going after the big players that do this then default the buyer out the second they miss a payment only to have them lose their down payment.. you sound like the other fellow that hailed from Seattle and talked about the exact same model in PHX  do you know him? 

This is our first foray into real estate investing, so we were wondering if anyone who would be willing to look at our model and see if there is any upside or clever ideas on how to bring some of our costs down in order to make this work? 

Now they go and change their model?

It is very modern, listed under market value, has a good sized backyard for the area, and is also a house that I could happily move in to come July of next year if the airbnb model did not work out as planned.Your last point of a true vacation rental that a family would really want to spend a week at is hitting home and making me think harder about them.

In search of anyone who has recently utilized "Fund & Grow" and their business credit model to fund a fix and flip or BRRRR.
