Do you see a common price point when putting in new plumbing/wiring? 

For a first flip, many investors find Midwest markets appealing because entry prices are lower, cosmetic rehabs pencil more cleanly, and margin for error is a bit wider when using hard money.

In your world, what has been the most common financing hiccup that actually cost you time on the calendar?

The second is common courtesy.

Hi @Richard BellWhile this sentiment is common, I’ve seen this cycle repeat throughout my years in real estate.

Most common path is a syndication or JV where you bring the deal and someone else brings most of the equity, then you still need enough capital for earnest money, due diligence, lender deposits, and liquidity reserves.Quick numbers check is lenders will underwrite to DSCR and also want post close reserves, and the typical equity check ends up more like 25 to 35 percent of purchase plus closing and capex, so on a 5 million deal you are talking 1.25 to 1.75 million equity before costs.

This is a common question for many investors (or would be investors). 

Container glamping = cool, but higher riskNot saying don’t do it, just know it’s:Zoning-heavyPermit-heavyOps-heavyHarder to finance and exitThat’s usually better as a deal #2 or #3, once you’ve got income-producing rentals under your belt and more margin for error.3.

I really appreciate the category list and the note on taxes/escrow.In your experience, what are the most commonly missed or misclassified expense categories you see with Middle TN rentals, especially repairs vs.

Yeah there are a few - Physician loans are pretty common (usually no PMI even with low down payment), and some credit unions have healthcare worker programs.
