Hey Charles,

Welcome!  I am new to RE myself so not in a position to mentor.  That said, I would recommend adding the meetup app and selecting all things RE in the Greensboro/WS area.  It will update you on opportunities to meet with like mind people. Additionally begin thinking about what type of investment avenues you are interested in (flips, wholesale, buy/hold, single fam/multi fam, etc.) and study those here, through podcasts and books.  If you narrow down some areas of interest to you I am happy to recommend podcasts I enjoy.  Good luck!  I am going to change my life with RE investing, here's to you doing the same!

@Karen Rittenhouse I came here to post the same...Bank of Oak Ridge and Steve Guy have been great to work with for the Triad market.  

Hi Mark (All),

I am working with David Woods at Moss Woods PLLC.  He has years of experience, is great to work with and also was able to provide great banker contacts.

Best,

Justin

Hi All,

I am working through the process to close and begin work on my first investment property (flip) and have what I know are some basic questions.  

Background:  The house needs a good deal of work (roof, gutters, paint, floors, kitchen and bathroom updates, etc).  I have met with several GCs, and individual repairmen (painters, roofers,etc.) as I am trying to determine best route (piece it all together or have GC handle it all).  They have been to the house and seen the scope of work and have a good idea of expected repairs, in general terms.  I have gotten a few quotes back but none that I have back have a great amount of detail in terms of specific materials used (what rating floors, cabinets, vanities, etc.)  

I am obviously going to want to determine the look/quality of the purchases, so what is the best way to handle this?  Should I get the quotes to include allowable price range to stay within the quote on each of the items that will require my choice?  Should I request that the quote be essentially for the labor only and me purchase materials, etc. myself or directly through them as needed?

Thank you for your feedback as your input is greatly appreciated.

Justin
