Post: Using my 10 acres to fund my first couple flips

So I own 10 acres of land in Texas free and clear. Ive had it listed for a couple months now at $89,000. This is what my realtor told me it should be listed for. No offers yet..

 My father does not want me to sell it, he offered me $60k so we could keep it in the family, but I really don't want to sell it for that much below market value.  I originally bought the property from him when he needed money.  Im looking to start my first flip soon and really could use some cash to cut out the hard money lender.  Any ideas how I can use the property to get some cash that will benefit both my father and myself?? my ideal situation would be to keep the property or have the option to buy it back....

I did contact @Michael Q. 's company and they were very professional and helpful.  If I decide to outsource my mailers in the future I will definitely use his company!

 After trying to contact a local Texas Yellow Letter provider multiple time with no reply I decided to give it a shot myself. I'm really glad I did!!

I have a work printer, Free Ink!!.., Bought some wide ruled paper and 4x6 color envelopes  at Wal-Mart for cheap, Went to YouTube and learned how to do a mail merge using Excel and Word, Bought some really cool stamps from the USPS, found a cool hand written script from Dafont.com, and printed my own custom mailers using a custom list purchased from Listsource.

Canon MG3222 Printer (fed the regular paper & 4x6 envelopes just fine!!)

Stamp-.49

Envelope- .5

Paper-.01

Ink-Free

TOTAL- 55 Cents per mailer!!

The list I bought from Listsource cost me about .22 per lead.

Grand Total- 77 Cents per Mailer

Time- Maybe a total of 3 hours (creating mailer template, printing, stuffing, stamping)

Post: Contractor offering to carry repair costs

Last year I found a house in the framing stage of construction. Long story short, I decided to buy it for my personal home. During the construction I got to know the builder pretty well.

Yesterday, I mentioned to him that im interested in flipping a few houses. Come to find out he currently flips houses for his RE attorney. I didn't have much time to get into all the details with him, but basically he said he floats the construction costs and gets paid after closing. He is willing to do that or just work for hire.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this type of deal... I can see how this could keep costs down because the contractor has skin in the game, but on the flip side if I negotiate a killer deal for the house and sell for a huge profit this may actually cost me more on the back side...

What Do Y'all think?!?
