- Any strategies for covering both the purchase and rehab without waiting months?

You’ve got the main docs covered.

As i analyze deals, it seems almost impossible to reach even the 1% rule because rents hardly cover PITI (more like the -1% rule).

Off the top, I’ll list three of the "strongest markets" right now near and around ATL that cover all three of your requests.

Also, I know there are some private money lenders that will cover purchase and renovation costs so that I don’t have to come out of pocket too much.

Your insurance won’t cover their loss and their lack of insurance is why they will be out of pocket for their losses.

A lot of investors use financing programs that cover up to 90% of purchase and 100% of rehab, which helps them recycle their capital into the next flip faster.I help investors like you every day with this, so if you’d like I’d be glad to walk you through some options.

Many successful real estate professionals suggest starting with a short script to cover key points but leaving room for natural conversation.Additionally, try role-playing with a colleague or friend to build confidence.

When the bill arrives, they scramble — draining cash flow, delaying vendor payments, or worse, borrowing to cover what should have been planned.✅ The professional approach:✔️ Automate tax categorization within your accounting system✔️ Allocate a fixed percentage of rental income to a dedicated tax account every month✔️ Review and adjust quarterly to stay aligned with actual obligationsThis isn’t optional — it’s a fundamental discipline for healthy financial management.
