A property can look like a great deal on paper and still turn into a headache. You buy below market value. The ARV looks strong. The rehab budget seems reasonable. The projected profit looks attractive. Then the project starts. Materials cost more than expected. A contractor finds additional work...

Ran into this one today in Huntington, WV: a $28,000 fixer listed at 1.07 acres, but Redfin's public-record section shows 4,648 sq ft.

I screen listings against a hard money purchase test, and I had been doing it wrong. The usual sizing is ARV times advance rate, minus repairs, and whatever is left is the most you can pay for the house. Then the borrower brings the closing costs. That gets called zero down. It is not zero out of...
