It also needs some other work and I am looking for a good contractor for the job.

It's beyond tough and when it get's beat up a cheap sand and poly job has them looking like new.

I plan on doing this with my long term friends they are all financially stable and have jobs and the income to support the move.

I am too busy with my full time job to do the lead part but have the ability to buy stuff pretty easily.

Hi Chris,Unfortunately a lot of sellers (especially wholesalers with a large database) like full cash buyers only because to be honest ( I think my job might kill me for saying this lol) hard money is not always guaranteed due to the fact that it is based on appraisals and feasibility inspections.

I would appreciate any recommendations or insights into: job opportunities, partnerships, meet up and networking events.

This will be a big job entailing pretty much everything, so anything would be appreciated, eg GC's, electricians, plumbers, etc.Thanks!

Awesome job below, but the math made me want to puke to be honest.

The primary purpose was originally to be closer to my part-time job, where I intend to begin building a business out of and going full time over the next few years.
