You don’t have the leverage you had six months ago. Inspect every deal, scope the sewer, rehab to be the best comp on the market, and buy deep enough that a surprise doesn’t wipe out your margin. I know all of this, and I skipped it anyway. Don’t make the same mistake.

The deal: about $30K into a light rehab (paint, flooring, fixtures, and new roof). ARV around $245K. We listed at $215K, sat two weeks with almost no showings, and then went under contract at $220K, with us paying about $10K in closing costs. After inspection: a shot sewer line, a roof that wasn’t done right, a broken garage door, and three pages of repair requests. We ended up doing about $7K in repairs to keep the deal together.
