We have a network of contractors and also DIY projects and it's still difficult to BRRRR.

I’ve been in real estate for over 25 years and currently work with United Realty Group.Right now, I’m focused on:🏡 Helping local homeowners sell for top dollar (especially in Cooper Colony Estates & surrounding areas)💰 Building a small investment portfolio and learning more about wholesaling🤝 Connecting with investors, agents, and contractors who want to collaborate on deals or share local insightI’m all about building long-term relationships and helping others succeed along the way.

That said, how you set them up makes a big difference.From a tax standpoint, if they’re classified as independent contractors, their costs are typically deductible as business expenses, but it’s important to ensure everything is properly documented, especially if they’re international.Like some people have mentioned above, virtual assistants can sometimes be inconsistent or non-responsive.

For me, the biggest challenge lately has been, financing deals in today’s lending environment / finding reliable contractors / scaling property management systems, pick one that fits your own experience.I’ve found that focusing on, brief tip or lesson learned, e.g., building strong lender relationships or creating repeatable rehab systems, has helped move things forward, but it’s definitely a constant process.Curious, given your background in funnels and lead systems, what’s been the most effective strategy you’ve seen investors use to consistently find quality deals?

One wrong move, one wrong contractor, one wrong vendor…will erase your profits.

You have to hassle with lenders, contractors, inspectors, tenants, property managers, accountants, etc. 

But here’s the key piece: how you finance it does affect your lending profile.If you take out a contractor loan (often unsecured or high-interest), that monthly payment shows up on your credit report as another liability.

What to look for in contractors?

They claim to bring leads, hire contractors, and fund the deals 100% ltv in the Ohio region.
