@Benny Morfas I would talk to a property manager in the area first to get insights.

@Matt Michaelson After talking more with the contractor that we will be working with we will be paying in thirds in draws like you suggested.

Great advice. Thank you everyone. 

Think I'll purchase materials. Then have a couple of draws as work is completed.

Just got my first deal. Now we are ready to renovate. Is it customary to pay contractors anything up front? Most bids came in asking for 50% up front and 50% upon completion.

Just saw the article today on LinkedIn. Allows guest to use their reward programs. Meanwhile Airbnb is getting into the hotel business. Disruption everywhere,lol. Wonder if this drive prices up for SFH in certain areas.

I'm new at this so bear with my inexperience. I have an LLC for another business, which I'm not doing anything with, (it's a farm not in production anymore). Can I use that same LLC or should I get a new one. I need to close in a few days using a hard money lender. Or should I close in my name and transfer to LLC later?

Opinions on the Killeen TX area. Looks like a buy and hold area. Is anyone successful with flips in the area? How many DOM before selling? Any streets too sketchy?

Looks expensive. Maybe if someone was trying to flip hundreds of houses a year.
