Brandon L, thank you. I plan to study all the information you attached. 

Just what I was looking for. 

Matthew G, thank you! My goal isn’t to turn as many properties as I can but to turn just a few per year. I now understand the importance of developing contacts and gaining information through real estate investment clubs and plan to attend some soon.  This is the type of information I hoped to get through this forum. Much appreciated  

Guy Olds, thank you! I appreciate your advice and will look into the meeting dates. 

I don't know much about hard money lenders or how to find them. Then once I do find one what to even ask or offer to them. 

Like any industry I'd imagine there are good lenders and some not so good lenders. No doubt there are some who would have both of our best interest in mind and ones who'd only have their best interest in mind. 

How would a newbie like me go about locating a good lender? Build a relationship. Like I mentioned I can offer a quality service and believe that is of value to someone out there. Should I talk to a Hard Lender company or search for an individual? Should it be a local investor or national?

Hello, I’m retired and living in Southern California. Inland in Riverside county. Specifically Murrieta.

I became bored so began a Handyman business for myself about 2 years ago. I’ve done almost every aspect of handy work. From a complete conversion of a two car garage to a living room, kitchen, laundry. To ceramic tiling of an entire home. Also putting in faucets, toilets, dishwashers and showers.  You name it and I’ve done it. 

Now I’d like to take my skills and ambition to the next level. I’m looking in to flipping homes. In stead of working on someone’s fix-it jobs I’d like to do that same work but for myself. Repairing and flipping properties. 

My situation is that I have a fixed income so don’t have money to buy properties. I looked at flipping mobile homes but they’re priced pretty high too. But they can provide a nice profit when done correctly. 

What I can offer is remodeling and building expertise along with quality work and ambition.
