Can someone explain how the COC ROI is in the 107.38%? Not sure how to go about calculating a vacancy rate? Was looking to hopefully make at least 150 a month on this property but its not looking like it.

New member here and the question I have has to do with the order or process of rehabs. Do we need to make sure we have a GC first then buy a property or have a property then try to find a GC? Have a chosen GC come look at a property to tell you yea no major issues and itd be worth it? What do most do to pay the GC: credit cards, loans?
