**Risk & control mechanics:**     In your JVs, how do you usually handle:   - Voting / veto rights for the landowner (sale, refi, major deviations from plan)     - Guarantees and completion risk (developer vs. land side)     - Protecting the landowner if the project stalls, market shifts, or costs blow up?

People do rent them separately in the neighborhood, but all it takes is one tenant complaint, one insurance issue, or a refinance inspection for it to blow up.

Honestly, both options are solid, so you’re not going to blow it either way.

A running toilet can create a HUGE bill very quickly and you don't want to get into a fight with a tenant or put them in a situation that they can't pay it and it blows up their lease.  

Sure, it may bring a deal with more money...but that usually comes with more complications and strings attached, which can end up blowing up a deal.

Out-of-area companies sometimes miss little issues that blow up later.If you get these five pieces right, your closings become smooth and predictable, which is half the battle in a fix and flip.

You can walk into a 65% ARV purchase and STILL lose money if you mismanage the contractor, allow scope creep, blow your timeline, rack up extensions, over-build, under-build, botch the listing, or end up relisting after a bad inspection.

Long-term, quiet, on-time tenants are gold until they start breaking the one rule that causes the most expensive turnover damage: smoking.Here’s the reality of the situation and how to handle it without blowing up your timeline or losing a good tenant unnecessarily.1.

Congratulations.Have a contingency plan just in case things blow up (for a myriad of reasons) in the future. 

Flipping with a tenant in CA is almost always slower and more expensive.You’re smart to think about cash-on-cash while you prep, but in a tenant-friendly state, any delay or refusal can blow your holding costs wide open.The safest play for CA flips is almost always:buy → vacate → renovate → sellIn that order.4.
