.- Start small: Begin with a modest project to learn the ropes without overextending yourselves.- Create a detailed business plan: Outline roles, responsibilities, and how you'll handle decisions and potential conflicts.- Build a network: Connect with real estate agents, wholesalers, and other investors to find good deals.- Educate yourselves: Learn about local market trends, zoning laws, and permitting processes.- Set realistic timelines: Account for your full-time jobs when planning project schedules.- Budget carefully: Include a contingency fund for unexpected issues.- Focus on high-ROI improvements: Prioritize renovations that add the most value.- Document everything: Keep detailed records of expenses, work completed, and agreements.- Consider liability protection: Look into forming an LLC or other business entity.Starting with cash is a smart move to minimize risk and learn the process.
