I told him any money I put down will be refundable for any issues like environmental matters, physical inspection, title, zoning, and if I can't raise funds.

I need a rough estimate of what the fix would be to speak with the contractor about what they are trying to charge me for their poor quality of work.  

@Maverick Shah as @Nicholas L mentioned CAP rate does not give you the true price of a condo, the comps do, but for your purposes it is a good measure of your return on cash. 

Quote from @Matthew Wolk: Any recommendations for DSCR wholesale lenders that will do a blanket loan on 7 properties ranging from 85,000 - 240,000. 

This is a common thing for RE professionals, some underwriters do not like this but it's definitely a solvable problem.

If you’ve got experience in this space, I’d love to pick your brain on best practices, biggest mistakes to avoid, and strategies for finding profitable deals.

Currently, I work closely with a real estate developer, so I’m always on the lookout for infill lots as well i'm looking to tackle my first fix-and-flip  or  BRRRR opportunity I’d love to connect with: - Experienced mentors  willing to share insights - Fellow investors (new or seasoned) for collaboration - Wholesalers, agents, or contractors and any real estate professionals who can help source deals or assist the process I’m committed to adding value however I can—whether it’s through market knowledge, networking, or hustle.

I'm about to raise the capital for my down payment, have contacted an experienced realtor who has connected me to a mortgage lender.

Although owner occupants are likely most susceptible to falling for this trap since most base their decision making and home search on their pre-approval amount which is directly tied to interest rates.When it comes to investment real estate focus shoulds be on property fundamentals and equity creation.

Your under capitalized for any kind of RE investing unless your flipping cheap lots that you pay cash for.. buy a cheap lot and sell on terms that will create cash flow safely.
