., we typically speak about 5-10 times from contract to closing.If seller is not needed to coordinate the above, we usually touch base 4-5 times for weekly updates until closing day.

Update I finally figured how to see my replies lol.

We update this quarterly based on actual contractor invoices from our flips and local contractor network intel.These are real costs from real projects — not national averages.

I’m currently working with the owner and it will likely be coming to market in about 2 weeks, so I’m trying to gauge what buyer type makes the most sense.Property basics:• 6 bed / 6 bath• ~4,135 sq ft• ~1.2 acres• Ocean views• Guest housesIt’s a really unique property — lots of character with hidden little rooms throughout the home, a miniature lighthouse feature, a whale-tail fountain outside, and tons of wildlife around the property (pelicans, eagles, deer, etc.).The home is in good shape overall with a newer roof, but probably needs around $30K in cosmetic updates (paint, floor touch-ups, etc.).Curious what people here would do with something like this — Airbnb investment or market it to a family / second-home buyer?

We cleaned it up, addressed the safety and separation requirements with the fire department, and made the updates needed to ensure it was clearly a legal two family again.

We formed a new borrower entity late in the process and updated the org chart to match what the lender required.

VRBO played around with AI listing updates a while ago without even telling anyone.

I am needing to ask since one of my guys gave me a false SSN and I received an IRS notice stating that I need to update the accurate SSN for the contractor.  

Is it lower fees, even if that means less communication, fewer updates, and a more hands-off approach?

So yeah… wholesaling is safe for another day.But here’s the part people miss.The real lesson was never “will this pass tomorrow.”The lesson was how fast people collapse when the rules might change.Same thing we’re watching with AI.One update drops and people start acting like their whole business got deleted.One rumor hits and they stop taking action, “until it’s clear.”Meanwhile, the operators keep moving.
