Hello All,

I'm new to the site, new to the group and new to real estate investing.  At this time I'm planning to attend.  I look forward to meeting some of you on Tuesday.

All very good points Manolo D and things I'm certainly thinking about.  At the moment I'm only going down the profit sharing road because I want my work to take priority.  I feel like offering him a cut of the pie can keep me at the front of the line when it comes to getting my job done first over somebody else's in the hopper.

I have a very experienced GC that I would like to partner up with to flip.  He's done work on my own home so I've seen first hand how he works and the skills he brings to the table.  I will likely be purshasing the home(s) and paying for the rehab.  He will be running the contractors and putting together estimates for necessary repairs during walk throughs in an effort to determine when buying a property is worth it or not for me.  We've only had one discussion so far but both of us agreed to circle back in a couple of weeks after doing some research so that we could have more serious talks so I'm trying to prepare for that talk.  Are the followoing profit splits reasonable in the scenerios below:

1. I pay for everyting and he gets no GC fee to get the work done. 

I take 70% of the profits and offer him 30%

2. I pay for the purchase and he covers the rehab costs.

I take 60% of of the profits and offer him 40% (or is this a better 50/50 scenerio)

Flipping is something I've been interested in doing for a few years but have never been able to find a GC I trust more then the gentlemen I'm speaking about.  He is extremely conservative which is lucky for me because if he wanted to take on all the finincacial risk himself (and he could) he wouldn't need me.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Joe and I just joined BP and am bery excited to be her.  Outside of my own home I've not invested in real estate until now.  Flipping houses is something I've kicked around for years and I've finally decided to take the next step.  I'm trying to get all of my ducks in a row so that shortly I too will be able to post a success story on my first flip.
