Thank you Tom Cafarella !!! I appreciate you taking time to weigh in. I'll definitely take your advice to heart.

Hi y'all I hope the keyword in this shows up correctly or is at least targeted for the Okc area. I've got one / my first deal under my belt (a buy and hold rental) and now I am embarking into the fun world of flipping. I am needing a reliable GC who isn't "cheap"'in terms of low quality, but also isn't looking to make more profit than me on a deal. And then I am wondering if anyone locally has pieced together a group of subs. Meaning perhaps hired one crew for kitchen, another crew for bathroom, another for exterior paint, etc etc etc. My thoughts are essentially a GC is a project manager so if I assume that role perhaps I save a decent percentage. While I'm inexperienced I'm not afraid to get quotes from 10 people to get the most competitive rate to ensure my flip is not a flop. While I'm primarily asking for local advice any experienced flippers advice is welcome. And yes I am reading J Scotts book :) thanks !

@Jimmy Ogle nvmd found it thanks !!!

Jimmy Ogle hi there, did this already come and go? Will there be another ? Didn't see the date. Thanks.

@Percy N. thanks to you as well. 

I need to learn the ins and outs of finding portfolio lending as you put it. It could be a game changer for sure ! 

hey thanks for the response!!! We were out of town on vacation when I wrote this. I forget to reply to your reply I am sorry! 

His score isn't bad doesn't have negative reviews just a low end 600 ish due to lack of use.

Thanks for the tip!!!

@Anthony Angotti 

Thanks for my first reply! I agree and he and i have said we would do a contract to protect all parties involved. Doing some hard math now for 2 years to be patient and just looking for the shift. I would prefer bank financing, but again just not sure how that will work given his pay is sizable but foreign.

hi there, 

I am looking at getting the ball rolling on my first deal. My brother in law is very eager to be involved. Here is our scenario which I will follow with a question:

I have some decent savings probably enough for a down payment on a deal.

He has more even more cash.  However he is a pro basketball player in Europe, which potentially makes proving his income a bit tricky, as he gets paid in Euro etc.

How do we best find funding? Is a co-sign a viable option? Or is it best to personally buy a home to flip and simply let him pay for the remodel? 

Thanks!
