@Daniel Curtis I would suggest you find a contractor you can trust and build a relationship with for the long term. Your Realtor friend may be able to introduce you to a few. This is the key to success! The contractor should walk each property with you to ensure the scope of work is complete so you have no surprises once the project gets started.

I would also suggest you find a project/property that needs some curb appeal and cosmetic work with great bones for your first deal! Limit the risk of “unknown” risks.

Hope it helps!

@Winnie Rim I would be happy to help walk you through the process of a fix & flip deal.  As well as the the difference between wholesaling being the actual person managing the fix and flip project.  We all learned from others.  Kathy

We asked: What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started in Real Estate?

Top 9 pieces of the Real Estate puzzle are:

1-Potential for helping others.

2-Use leverage to keep cash in your pocket for the unknown.

3-Ability to raise capital is unlimited.

4-Focus on the controllables and invest smart.

5-Long distance investing is over-hyped.

6-Requires more cash than you think.

7-Get started ASAP.

8-Pareto Principle-80% of effects come from 20% of the causes.

9-Don't worry about all the nay sayers: market crash, etc.

Thank you to all who participated in our unofficial survey!
