I have a better one. Bought a property in San Diego (where we invest) that was red tagged by the city (ching ching) so we got a great deal.

Had to submit plans etc. as per the cities request. Long story short we were on a hill and the city decided they wanted us to pay 7-10k for a biologist and landscape architect to name and put on plans EVERY plant on our property, and 100 feet further which is the canyon and city property.

Well they found a plant called a coastal sage brush about 100 yards from the house and even though we were not doing a exterior rehab the city bureaucratic sh.. held us up from september to december.

I miss the appraisal problems on our rehabs. Thank goodness we only paid 305 in a 600k neighborhood or we would have been crushed.

Here is the guy – you’ll appreciate the numbers we put together since it seems that you are pretty detailed on your website about your results.

We post individual websites for each of our flips with the actual numbers, updates etc. using google sites. works pretty good and easier to use than our company website which is wordpress.

Good luck with your deals. Where are you located?

The longest we’ve ever held a property (House #6) was 232 days. The thing that property and this property had in common was the fact that we had at least three contracts before we could actually get the deal to close! In fact, both properties had their first contract within a week of putting it on the market.

To alleviate this problem in the future, we are being much more stringent about the requirements for our buyers. We’re making them put down more money, shortening closing times, and requesting that they use our closing attorney and mortgage broker.

Thank you!!!

If this is the second-longest it took for you to sell a flip, what was the longest? My longest was just over 300 days (ouch!).
