To find real flippers and build a reliable team, lead with value and tight filters: define your flip box, then post and ask at local meetups, investor FB groups, and supply houses for intros to GCs, agents, and lenders who’ve closed multiple flips this year; run quick interviews, verify with photos, permits, and past HUDs, and start them on a small, time‑boxed task to test communication, updates, and workmanship before giving bigger scopes.

I had to contact customer service and have them delete the listing. 

I would be happy to have a conversation with you about customizing your chart of accounts and QBO specifically for your situation.I also have investor clients in the Houston and other southern Texas areas.

My name is Marie, and I’m new to real estate but I bring many years of customer service experience to the table.

To make matters worse, the professional contractor hired 8 years ago to add downstairs kitchen did not get permits for dishwasher, microwave, sink, and stove.

As a carpenter, monetize your edge on light value‑add and sweat equity, but avoid heavy permits until you’ve got reserves and a team.

Or permits on the building.

- What’s been your biggest delay lately — materials, permits, or financing?

Building costs swing wildly depending on where you are and how custom the build is, but here’s a quick reality check from what I’ve seen lately:Basic spec or builder-grade new construction: around $225–$275 per square foot.Mid-range custom or semi-custom: more like $300–$375 per foot.High-end custom homes (especially with slope, trees, or tight access) can hit $400–$500+ per foot real fast.A lot of folks forget how much the site adds — clearing, grading, utilities, septic, driveway… those things alone can tack on $50–$100k before you even pour a slab.As for permitting, brace yourself.

Quote from @Matt John: I recently purchased a property in Houston for $100k cash and have secured permits to build a duplex, so the land is shovel-ready.
