Looking forward to connecting and learning from you all—thanks in advance for any insights!

The systems we all in good shape and functioning so I just tuned up the HVAC but no major expenses there.

Hi @Charlie KrzysiakIt is all depends on your goals.

I work for a hard money lender called Backflip and we have members/investors do flips in flood zones all the time.

I am open to all information or tips.

I have a handful of clients who all keep a simple log. 

There are meet ups all over the country; i'd recommend a google search of your area to see what pops up. i'd also suggest joining local facebook groups for your area / surrounding areas and ask there.I tend to agree with Stuart here; your first deal should be your own capital here and serve as a proof of concept you can use as an example in moving forward to try and garner money from investors for future deals.Other than bringing a deal to an experienced investor it's unlikely they will want to give capital to someone who hasn't pulled the trigger before.

I completely understand almost all of the frame work and bases but just need actual advice from someone one on on.

All IRA-related transactions must be "arm's length", in other words, IRA can't get involved in any transaction with yourself, your immediate family members or any entities these individuals own or control.
