There are numerous cracks in the walls, ceiling, foundation, driveway.

In my area, and the size of the project, it will likely be worth the extra investment for us to garner the best tenant pool.

I’m now looking to get started on my first fix & flip project. 

Hi all,We're doing mainly Flips and rentals but 2 projects really knocked us out - looking for some insights...- 1311 Golden Hill Dr, Indianapolis, IN 46208High-end in indianapolis which is ready for an end-buyer, seems like we just can't get a buyer...- 3309 Ruckle St, Indianapolis, IN 46205  - Several contractors ran away, we got to the point that we want to sell even at a loss and not continue with the project.

And to replace ceiling drywall you now have to deal with the loose insulation above it. 

Typically there is a minimum (finished) ceiling height that it must have to be legal.

Eventually, landlords who can't sell at pre-cap valuations and can't justify continued operating losses keep units vacant or let properties deteriorate.New construction stops — because developers don't build into a market where the ceiling is fixed before the project cash flows.Supply shrinks — because the vacancy that does occur isn't re-entered at market rate.Rents for new entrants rise — because the supply of available units decreases while demand remains constant.The policy designed to protect working families from displacement ends up accelerating gentrification on a 5-to-10-year delay.

The garage crack, the ceiling damage from water, the concrete flooring in the master -- these aren't cosmetic.

With holding costs and timelines shifting, many investors are adjusting how they structure deals.What’s been most effective for protecting margins in your recent projects?
