Contractor transitioning into investing – Philly/NJ

[Odes Calcinot]

Hi everyone,

My name is Odes Calcinot. I’m the owner of Straight Line Painting & Services LLC, a contractor company serving Philadelphia and South Jersey. Over the years I’ve worked with investors, Realtors, and property managers on renovations, turnovers, and value-add improvements.

I’m now taking the next step into real estate investing myself.

What I bring to potential partnerships:

• Contractor advantage (better rehab cost control)

• Fast renovation turnaround

• Experience preparing properties for resale and rentals

• Established renovation crew and vendors

• Knowledge of Philadelphia and South Jersey markets

What I'm looking for:

• Connections with local investors

• JV partnership opportunities

• Private lenders for value-add deals

• Off-market opportunities

My goal is to acquire fix & flip and rental properties where I can add value through renovation expertise.

Always open to connecting with serious investors in the Philadelphia / South Jersey area.
