Quote from @Syed Ahmed: Congrats on taking down your first fix and flip and pushing through the surprises that come with renovations That first project always teaches the most and it sounds like you are handling it well I work with a lending company and often see how creative financing helps investors get started with smaller down payments just like you did Feel free to connect if you want to share more ideas Thank you so much. 

If you can buy below value and manage the risks, you’ll set yourself up for solid returns instead of surprises.

It’s especially convenient for smaller rehab projects where you may not need coverage long-term.DM me if you'd like a recommendation!

A few surprises here and there (repairs, tenant stuff), but overall it’s been solid once you plan for realistic expenses.

@Kyle J.Same BP’s support team is great and always responds quick which is why I was surprised.

The overruns weren't caused by the Land Bank or thir requirements, they were due to inevitable surprises when you do major renovations.Rcommend NOT focusing on Land Bank properties, instead look at everything on the market and buy the best BRRR property you can find.One last thing, many of the Land Bank properties are in Class D Neighborhoods:( VERY difficult to make these work as rentals or flip.If you'd like to chat more, DM us and check out the Interactive Map of Metro Detroit with color-coded Classes on our website - to make better decisions:)

Good to have you.That CA market is definitely pricing so many people out.Juan-Surprisingly, Phoenix which is quite a closer, has properties in the range you are looking for.

That ongoing foundation helps avoid surprises and ensures your taxes are optimized.If you’re looking to make a change, now is definitely the time of year to do it.

It may surprise you that the owner will discuss creative finance.

That’s our focus with every investor we work with: fast execution, full transparency, and zero surprises at the closing table.
