On a textbook BRRRR the hard money clock starts ticking at acquisition, and most people treat the rehab budget as the number that matters. It is not. If the budget runs 8k over, t…
A wholesaler had a property under contract at 187k, assignment fee of 14k, end buyer lined up at 201k. Three days before closing, title flagged a lien the seller had not disclosed…
