We are looking forward to getting to a point with our financing in which we can just use the funds in the Line of credit (4% when used) to finance the full project and a couple at a time. 

I purchased for no money down with RI First Time Home Buyers project and a 20,000 forgivable second mortgage that was forgivable after 5 years.

They will ask for detailed material and maintenance costs, ARV projections, cost per sq ft... ect...Although that may all sound daunting at first, it is actually a way to refine your skills and make sure the deal is good enough to justify a hard money loan.  

But on the flip side, that's why I only put $40k with him and have money diversified in other properties/projects/market. 

I'm having issues getting a contractor out to my project.

My #1 recommendation is not to let your real goal get sidetracked by tech and marketing sub-projects.

Lets say I get into a rehab project. 

A very good friend brought a realtor who specializes in this type of project, her buyer had been working on this for several years and fell through and so we were able to step in after most of the water rights were secured.

Newbie flip investor here.I would like any advice on how to research, screen, and interview GCs for rehab projects. 

This has been by far the most inspiring project to date!
