Its not a painful process at least, but it does need to be done. 

Hey Kay, I know the pain of losing money.  

Vetting up front saves a lot of pain on remote rehabs.

It's a huge pain tbh.Third, I wish more brokers actually had proper networks to take deals to.

A lot of them are a pain in the butt to work with, especially if their hefty commission is on the line... 

It's painful to see a house that was renovated and rented, to then be torn up by jackhammering through the slab in multiple places so that the sewer lines could be replaced.

However, if your cams aren't PoE or wired, you might want to consider that as it's easier to trip or disrupt wi-fi.Sorry this happened to you and hope your future bookings and success will make this seem just a part of the learning/growing pains.

I know this is painful, but it has happened to the best of us....paying too much to a wholesaler, going over budget on rehab, taking to long on the rehab, and during that time market changes.If your game plan was NOT to turn this into a rental, then don't. 

  - I have started to see a lot of my flipping clients look for funding elsewhere because Kiavi was concerned with investor concentration risk or market risk, so pretty normal growing pains, and a predictable pattern in the space from my perspective.

Because cash is the oxygen of real estate investing.If you lock up all your money in your first rental, scaling becomes painful — slow, frustrating, and dependent on strong appraisals/refinances.With $60k cash, you could:     - BRRRR a cheaper property     - Do 1–2 more flips     - Buy a small portfolio of rentals     - Increase liquidity for financing & safetyIn other words… the flip gives you options.A Hybrid Thought...If the ARV supports it, you might be able to flip and keep it:     - Do BRRRR     - Refinance after renovation     - Pull out most of your money     - Keep the cash-flowing assetBut that only works if:     - ARV is strong     - You leave little cash in the deal      - Rent covers DSCR requirementsIf your cash-out refi would leave you with negative cash flow, then holding doesn’t make sense.Since you’re:     - New,     - Low on cash,     - Doing heavy renovation, and     - Staring at a $60k lump-sum opportunity,     - the stronger financial move is usually:Flip the first deal.
