My budget is around $400K, and I’m looking for subject-to's or seller finance since I likely won’t qualify for traditional financing.I'm looking for a single-family property, am also open to multifamily, and my plan would be to rent out a room or buy somewhere with the potential to add an ADU/casita.

I've done my due diligence (Estimated rehab budget, researched comps, reviewed the forums ;) and have a contractor lined up).I'm still super nervous and I'm sure that feeling does not leave but I'm just wondering if you experienced investors have and words of wisdom when the financial and anxiety levels are stretched!

Material and labor prices have climbed in most states, so managing flip budgets is becoming more strategic.What strategies are you using to keep margins predictable?

What's relevant is him hitting the contractual budget, with little exception. 

Rehab budgets seem to be climbing in many markets.I’m wondering how other investors are adjusting:Are you updating your numbers?

Also, it might help to take a 2nd look at how you're budgeting for rehab.

Seeing active flips firsthand is one of the best ways to learn what to look for and how to budget.
