That completely makes sense.

Thank you for the input @Jay Hinrichs. I am all about efficiency when it comes to process. Definitely do not want to waste anyones time. 

I am just getting started and will probably source Hard Money lenders in the Dallas area to get deals off the ground.

The question would be should I talk to HMLs first to get a game plan together that way when a deal does come up, I have a source and idea of what can be done on that end, or, wait for the deal to come and then source a HML?

To me it makes sense to seek out a HML first to have someone lined up in case a deal does come along and needs to be funded within 1-2 weeks. But I didn't know if HML would want to talk before having some tangible in terms of a deal.

Total greenie when it comes to this in practice, so advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, everyone, for the welcome! This site has been a great resource and really motivating. Now I'm just trying to get everything lined up and stop "playing" REI. Analyzing deals just to analyze has been fun and a learning experience...but now I'm excited to get going on actually pursuing those deals.

I have been listening to BP podcasts day and night, reading REI blogs and books for the past 6 months...and generally observing the forums for the past 3 months. Finally deciding to jump in and say hi.

I am from the Dallas area ( Wylie / Collin County ) and starting my path into REI to get my family better set up for the future. I am looking at using flipping and BRRRR methods for my own personal REI. I know the Dallas area is HOT and competitive, but if anything, BP has me motivated!
