We could make mistakes, yet still make $, or at least break even most of the time. 

I’m sure you’re aware of this, but it’s a mistake I made so worth sharing...whatever bank you’re wanting to use, make sure you know their seasoning requirements.

I have been hesitant to jump in one reason is I am not keen on anything outside of perfection and this game is a game of risk % so it has delayed me especially living in southern California it is extremely expensive to get involved own here and a mistake here is huge.

@Dave Chow I definitely think this would be a creative way to go about it in the future, but for the first property, id rather not risk paying dumb tax by making a mistake.

I've made the mistake before of thinking the one lender knew all the answers and I could not possibly go beyond the limits of what they told me.Network on here as well.

He also claimed that the biggest mistake people make is getting financing from a hard money lender.

I made a rookie mistake and did not factor this in to the negotiation, so will probably walk away.

Don't mistake equity you pay for, as equity you gain. 

I want to make sure I don't make a mistake that will become a tax-issue.

They can have it made and you pay them for it and pick it up, so you can check that they work (mistakes happen when cutting keys).
