 Just send you a message Fransisco.

I'm a new investor, looking for fix/flip opportunities in the valley. 

Give it to me if you dont want it

 Thanks Jon,

I'm using the PHX market to be able to move back and fund California RE projects. Maybe we can connect one day.

Hi BP Community!

My names Jared Vidales, 25 years old, currently living in Scottsdale Arizona. Im a Project Engineer for large commercial HVAC equipment for Johnson Controls. 

Currently, I have no background in RE. I've come to BP in hopes of expanding my knowledge in the house flipping sector,  network, find a mentor in that space, and eventually build a self sustaining business. I've started by purchasing J. Scott's book on flipping and estimating. 

I'm posting in this threads in hopes of finding an experienced professional in the house flipping space within Maricopa county who can help walk me through my first one for a potential cut in the profits. 

I'm looking for subcontractors in the area who have experience with rahabs, are cost effective, and execute according to schedule. 

I'm also looking for a buyers agent who regularly works for investors. I'm currently approved for an FHA loan @ 250k

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you're in the area, and like helping young investors, please dont hesitate to reach out!

Lump sum bids are generally used to hide proficiency, risk, and margin dollars. I haven't renovated a house yet, but i work for a mechanical contractor, and proposals are always broken out, and generally we get beaten down depending if a category is high relative to another contractors proposal. 

Always get atleast 3 broken down bids. Example- you can use contractor A for windows because he's less expensive, Contractor B for doors, Contractor C for HVAC ect. Remember low doesnt always equal quality.

Question for you guys. With regards to flipping, I wish to browse the MLS in some of these hot states i.e. Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Richmond ect. But my Arizona MLS obviously doesnt work for anything besides AZ. Is it ethical for agents to trade logins to view other geographical locations?

Anyone sucessfully flipping in Maricopa?

Im a new investory, and currently looking for a viable flip property in AZ, but the MLS appears to be dried up. Where are y'all finding flip opportunities?

Jeeze I need to start looking out of state to find these deals. Are you finding these on the MLS?

Are you planning on hosting anymore flip meetups?

Great meeting! For those who are unaware, we agreed on second Tuesdays @ 6:30pm. So next meeting will be Sept.11
