How did you legally add the extra unit? 

The extra cash flow that results when you don't have to pay taxes can be used to upgrade the property or purchase additional properties.

After reviewing, we discovered a large portion of the work was actually included in the original scope.Here’s how we resolved it:Compared the CO against the signed contract scope.Negotiated the CO down to ~$7,500 (actual extras) instead of $18,000.Updated budget tracking to make sure no future “double dips” occurred.How do you push back or validate mid-project cost increases?

It depends on your objective:1. trying to generate chunks of money = flips2. want an extra couple/few hundred dollars a month = buy a rental 3. want to live for free and redeploy what you would have spent on a mortgage = househack 4. want to acquire properties without a lot of money = BRRRRHousehacking immediately improves your quality of life financially.

Seems like they were fat fingered and added a couple extra zeros. 

This will help your cashflow instead of paying high retail for a turnkey property.You have to apply for and qualify for a permit to have a STVR now.

If a project drags past your original timeline, do you build in extra holding cost reserves, or do you try to refinance mid-project to save cash flow?

The thing with DealSnap is that I’m testing a much more lightweight, super-fast version: copy a Zillow link, fill in minimal inputs, and get a clean, one-page PDF instantly - no learning curve, no extra screens.

Hello, I have a unique situation going on and was seeking extra confirmation and ideas on the current deal I'm in.Basically the property is transferred via deed, I sign a promissory note for a set amount, and record a deed of trust.

Setting that aside, my answer to the question of putting more down to get a lower rate is - how long will it take me to recoup that extra down-payment from the lower monthly payment?
