Flip Mentor/Partner

[Brian Rhodes]

Hi! My name is Brian Rhodes and I am seeking a Los Angeles area rehabber/flipper to partner with on a few initial projects in order to build my "flipper resume." My long term goal is to acquire 50-100 buy-and-hold SFR and/or MFR doors in the next 10 years. Like many others, I need to generate extra income in order to purchase start purchasing cash flow rentals out of state.

I have been in the general construction field for the last 11 years and started as a general laborer with a small GC. I am currently employed as a construction superintendent and mechanical RME for a national construction firm and (of course as an RME) hold a C-20 HVAC contractor's license. My last project was a fire restoration on an 1800 sf. 3 BR. 2 Ba. SFR. We replaced 19 roof trusses, installed a new roof, removed the drywall down to the studs, and replaced everything except the showers/tubs. I replaced the 3 ton rooftop package unit and all the ducting myself. The project was in a remote area of central CA 40 miles north of Fresno. The project took 10 weeks from start to finish using subcontractors with whom I had no prior relationship. I am very confident about the construction related details of completing a rehab project (cost estimating, scheduling of trades and work flow, etc.) and I would like to find a partner who is very familiar with the the other non-construction aspects (acquisition, financing, marketing to sell, etc.) in order to mitigate some of the risk of doing a flip on my own. I would love to meet and discuss the future possibilities! PM me if you would be interested in a mentoring type partnership or would just be willing to have a discussion about your experiences as a rehabber.

It's a shame that you are not in the Fresno area - I am looking for someone exactly like you to work with for rehabs here in the central valley.  Since you've done work north of Fresno - how willing are you to do projects in Fresno?
