It is designed as a temporary. 

But that is soon, and I'm driven by integrity and ethics, so the seller feels great, and the buyer does too, and I get fees...until I finish fixing my credit and can plunk down my own money.For the case of the flipper going right to the seller its a legit hang-up in a vacuum...but it seems to me that IF I determined for example that a $70k purchase and $40k repairs would result in a $180k value, and I can present that data to an interested flipper, they could go straight to the seller and cut me out.

With that said, do you have any recommendations as to where a new investor can look to develop such property rating (a-d) specific data figures/percentages?

This means deals are designed around the specific micro-market the property is in, the strategy used on that property that delivers the specific financial cost/returns to the REI required by their individual REI Plan.IF you want to make deals, you need to know as many strategies as you can learn, learn how to analyze markets, and learn how to design, and stick to, a REI Plan based on your financial goals...and these goals are specific. 

I really wish more people would incorporate universal access design into their renovations, this shouldn't still be an issue in 2021

And all of this data is readily available from your local MLS, the US Census, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (www.fhfa.gov.).Good luck!

I've owned and managed rental properties for 10+ years and I could also share dozens, probably hundreds, of examples with 0 days on market and $0 maintenance costs of the turn.The $5k-$6k average cost per turnover comes from a data set of managing over 4,100 properties in Jacksonville, FL for 10+ years. 

3) Does anyone have any recommendations for General Contractors or not insanely priced Design Build Firms that have worked with multiple 203k loans in the past within the Manassas/Northern Virginia area?

The area has a strong rental market, and property values have not been driven up as high as many other markets. 

If you want to look at an ARV from a future potential investment value from you renting it out, then you would need to find rental comps as well as investment sales comps to go with that rent to project a value off of NOI.It's going to be hard to pull comps without some sort of data source like Costar or Crexi or Real Capital Analytics.
