Wow that's a quick flip! Without the window delay, you would have been in and out in a flash!
@Kyle Mccaw I am an active lender in the DFW area, yes. I haven't gotten into the investing side of things quite yet as I am only a couple years out of college (SMU) and am still building capital for my first flip. Dallas is where I'm planning on completing my first flip when the time comes, though!
