I've been using Dealcheck.io to do deal analysis but have been hearing a lot about Backflip recently. I'll have to check it out!

Great conversation! I've also been thinking of using a HELOC to acquire our next investment property, likely as owner occupied. These are good things to think about!

I'm glad to hear the BRRRR strategy is alive and kicking as that what I'm currently trying to do!

Market fundamentals to consider: population growth, average income, median home price and average rent, crime rate. Good sources to consider would be FRED and NeighborhoodScout.com. 

The way I find my team is usually through referrals. Agents and property managers are easy to find on BP. They have been invaluable in helping me round out the rest of my team.

Good luck on the journey!

Thanks for the write-up, Stepan! Lots of good information.

Foundation issues can definitely be scary! I'd love to hear how this plays out as well.

I'd definitely look for networking opportunities in your area to meet like minded individuals. Try meetup.com or google your local real estate investing groups.

Hey Chris, this sound like an awesome addition to a tool set. I've been using Dealcheck.io to do my deal analysis, but would be interested in hearing more about what you used to build your tool, or even getting hands on with something similar of possible! :)

The first thing I'd do is look for referrals from your team. They should be able to give you a few names of people in the area.

Ask other contractors/subs who they've worked with that does a good job. Especially if the person you're asking does quality work as they won't want to give you a bad reference as it would reflect poorly on them.

You can also try pulling recent building permits in your target area to see who the contractor on those jobs were. 

Interesting conversation. I'm in a similar place now, so will definitely be watching this post!
