Thanks Marcos Brizuela Pls PM me your contact info.

It’s crazy busy for us here in the Bay Area (CA). We have about 5-6 crews of 2-3 guys. And we have works lined up for the next 6-8 months. So yeah, cherry picking is really what most of good/reliable contractors are doing right now. I used to work on clients’ flips. The more successful guys would tell me: what does it take to keep you. They don’t ask: I have lower bids, can you match it/lower your bids. :) Some of them do try to pick the lowest and cheapest bids. I didn’t stay with those very long :), because mine wasn’t the lowest. I think one of the most important aspects of a successful flip is working with a good (technical) and dependable (timing/speed) contractor. Which again doesn’t come cheap! :). Good luck.

Thanks for the votes and interests everyone.  

I just visited the site in Hayward to give my wife a first tour before taking you guys there.  Just wanna cover my behind you know.  :) 

Raining and wet.  Wifey suggested to just go home and relax on Sunday.  But hey, I can rest with all these numbers and plans, and comps, etc... in my head.  Haha.  So addictive to this RE thingy!!! 

Hi Jason. What about contractor investors who already have General liability coverage from their contracting business, would a vacant coverage be sufficient enough?

Thanks 

Morning all.

I’m using iOS app to access BP forums and see a couple of issues. Not sure if anyone else has already report them yet but here they go:

- I signed up for pro already but I still get a pop up saying I have to be pro in order to access Pro only forum. Web browser access is ok. 

- I can’t seem to edit my posts from within the app. Currently I have to go to a web browser, look for my post this edit. 

- there’s no search bar from within a sub forum, or a thread. I have to go “back” into main section, click on the main menu drop down for a search symbol. 

- when replying, is there a way to quote a message? Sometime I have to go back in the middle of typing the message just to double check a name spelling, or context of the message. 

- when posting for a message, if a subject is too long, there’s no edit/back function to fix it. “Back” will send me back to the sub forum page, not the page with subject line for the message I’m writing.

- App crashed more often then not: it crashed a lot for me in the last couple of days, especially right after I hit submit to post my message. 

If someone knows how some of these features work, pls show me. If not yet implemented - it’d be nice to have them added.

Thanks much.

Hi Christi. Thanks for your interest. I plan to keep it a hand on experience for the locals this time. :) Hope you understand.

Thanks all for the kind words. For those who’s interested, pls just say so or pm me. I’ll tally up a list then contact you guys back tomorrow night. Those who’s far away, I’ll fly my drone to come pick you up. :) Johnson, good to hear back from you. 👍

Hi Sean. I use a variety of sources. Hard money, private lenders, friends and family, Heloc, cash. Depend on deals, number of deals, total ticket price, and amount of cash on hand, I would select the best resources available to me. What about you?

Morning all.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving with love ones.

I’m back in action with a couple of flips in and around the great Bay Area.

I’m thinking about opening them up for whoever’s interested to follow through from start to finish.

This is geared toward beginners only. If you’re thinking about getting started in flipping and wanna know first hand how it’s like without having to spend a dime of your own, pls let me know. Practice makes perfect :).

Here’s what you’ll get:

+ insider’s view of everything: - what I look for when searching - how I found the properties - what it takes to seal & close the deal - numbers: all things $$$ related - plan: what’s my plan to do with them (with chances to practice/“role play” as if you’re the decision maker) - actual process of renovation: planning, construction cost, materials selection for flips, resources (contractors, subs, architects, supplier houses, etc...) - staging, marketing for sale - listing (diy or hire out, resources, etc...) - and everything else in between + these are all free of course + my promise that I won’t sell anything during the process :) so you’re perfectly safe with me!!! + why I do it: I learn my way for free from others (still do). And I like to help beginners getting started in flipping like me. :)

Time and space is limited so first come first served :).

I will start finalizing my list of interesting prospects by 6pm PST this Sunday (11/26) to send out general plan of actions. First meeting is next week.

Format: I’ll talk more with this group but in a nutshell, we’d probably meet up at job site as out first meeting. Then milestone meetings plus phone/email/social media as follow ups.

+ Property locations: - Pleasant hill - hayward + Construction experience potential (what you can learn about from these projects): - kitchen and bath remodel of course - room addition - ADU building - New Construction - Lot split

Any suggestions and constructive criticism are always welcome.

Thanks.
