Any pointers on seeking honest GCs in general (specifically Fayetteville, NC)?

And you specifically asked Joe Hines this one but my current area is three parallel streets in a close by town and each road is about 1/4 mile long.

I've been specifically looking towards wholesaling to build capital so I can branch out into other parts of real estate investing.

There's also an age resticted hotel looking building.

I live in the Marina del Rey area of Los Angeles (more specifically... the Peninsula).

Give your guy a shot if you wish, but I know from experience that these FHA/VA Streamline sweatshops with minimal expenses will often have the best pricing (downside as a lender of course is that these sweatshops can ONLY do these specific types of gov't refinances).

then pick up some other properties.Overall the leverage of your portfolio could be low, even if a specific property was high...This assumes you have a decent income outside of these etc, use the HELOC as your reserve, BUT have cash to back it up just in case.

Also there are State and County/Area specific forums.

Or maybe it's because of the age of the property which is built in the 1920s, but many homes in my market are built during that era so I can't imagine the whole city paying these astronomical policy fees. 

This is a perfect opportunity for me to start my direct marketing campaign but I want to make sure my postcard/mailer is specifically enticing to the owner.
