Maybe its just my area or maybe its because I widdle down my contractors so much.Now the drama you do see I would say is only half of it.

I'm also going to need a good real estate accountant, mortgage broker, and probably a good contractor.

Great site, enjoy...

that why there are people called contractors...

Welcome and enjoy the forum!

CASH/FINANCING3. local real estate attorney who can do your closings4. title company5. inspector6. contractor (if you won't be doing repairs)7. information - from local businesses, chamber of commerce, local developer who knows the area8. a realtor who can possibly hook u up with looking at other properties in the area9. plane tickets to go view 30 - 50 properties over a few days.10.

I had a contractor give me an estimate on the inside work at $20000.

I've got the realtor going for more pics, and my brother in law (who is a contractor) going by to check it out for me.Also, how best to finance?

All the folks who provide services in this business for a fee/commission.4) Rehabber - buy low (and in need of repairs), invest your time and money into rehabbing, then either hold as a rental or flip.I'm probably most interested in #4 - I've enjoyed the hands on minor carpentry/painting/landscaping/etc I've occasionally done in the past, and my primary job has given me some experience in project management (locating and managing contractors).

The investor wanted me to find this deal, and would be willing to be partners with me, but I don't want to manage the units, I would rather make the money by flipping the contract or getting consultant fees.......the more I think about this the more confused I get!!!
