Now in the short timeframe this has gone, I have two companies, one landscaping and one construction.

. $0 down deal.Here are the Numbers:"All in" Purchase Price and Rehab: $170,000Re-sale Price: $285,000Profit (not including cashflow): $100,000+Time frame: about 2-3 years (I don't even remember exactly by now)So what about the experienced apartment syndicators out there?

If this were your money only that would be different but given the fact that you are using other people’s money you should get multiple bids and hire and manage professional contractors so there are no potential conflicts of interest or misunderstandings in regards to costs, time frames, mistakes etc. 

If the project is located in the city that can add to the time frame as well due to logistics. 

I managed to close on time only because I called in a favor from a friend to have the property surveyed and turned into the title company within 20 hours when everyone else was giving me a two week time frame. 

You can also include marketing and advertising fees since all of these affect your budget.Simply put, the key here is the timeframe of your fix-and-flip investment.

A little longer than the norm, but not beyond the pale.If you are not comfortable taking ownership with the renter in place (what if they don't move out), you would have to negotiate quite a long closing time frame. 

Yes thats right, and thanks for the advice, I agree with you, I never try to bid for a property assuming the market will rise 5-10% in the time frame I'm flipping.

For the first deal, I made sure I fully understood the laws and timeframes for a typical eviction.I agree with the others. 

What is your time-frame to accomplish that?
