Hey Guys,

I'm in search of a hard money lender to fund some fix & flip projects. I've looked at the list of available lenders and there seems to be a lot to choose from. If you're in the area and have a preferred lender with good rates please let me know which one you use so I can reach out to them. 

Thank You

I'm currently searching for a private money lender in the Tampa Bay area to fund fix & flip projects. If you're interested or know someone interested please pm me or shoot me an email.

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to start my first rehab but I have some questions I need answered before I get started. The first question is how do you create your team that will complete the project? Do you hire a general contractor and let them subcontract work out or do you hire each team individually (ie. painters, electricians, plumbers, etc)? For the future I would like to have my own construction team so I'm wondering how I should go about that? Do I need a designer as well?

Also what are other things I should consider besides the team I will need? I believe I understand the numbers I need to have to make it work. Are there any videos you recommend watching to better understand the whole process?

Thanks In Advance

@Jason Mak I'll definitely try that. I'm also thinking about taking a trip to Lowes or Home Depot in the morning to see if I can find a contractor there or at least get a referral to someone.

 She's suggesting that you think this through. You are responding by NOT doing your own thinking. KPM thinks smart and uses her time and resources well. She focuses on the target with certain history patterns not the fact that a probate is open. 

If you aren't ready to think for yourself yet, at least take action. There are plenty of people who consistently take action and make a decent living. 

I understand KPM's intentions just didn't understand the terminology and process enough to know she was dropping jewels. Taking action is not an issue for me once I know the direction I need to head in. If you're marketing to the wrong people it's wasted money and time. I can't afford to waste any of those right now so I need to plan wisely. I also just subscribed to your newsletter to see what I can learn from there.

@Account Closed I thought it would be a good place for me to start as a beginner investor. What would you recommend?

@Jason Mak how do you typically find your contractors? I'm wanting to start my first flip and was wondering how to find a good contractor?

@Justin Escajeda how did you build your team? Where's a good place to find the guys necessary? I want to build my own team so that I can complete flips
