With no RE background and a full time job I was still able to create the right entity I needed, develop a powerful tax strategy, found a partner to invest with, and about to close on a rehab where we will both make $25k+.

I am learning about Fix and Flip strategies (I've only done developments).I want to grow my income from Real Estate while working on developments (ie waiting for zoning, permits and building)What have become your go to finishes for fix and flips to maximize value?

You will need a licensed TX attorney to oversee the legal documents, you need escrow officers and transaction managers and business development/marketing.

A mentor to partner and begin developing with him.I haven't seen any good coaching program around here.

Plus you still have to actually underwrite the entire deal (purchase, construction, carry, etc to develop accurate CF/profit).

So those were all on my Fico.. my Bank loans from my commercial banks dont show up IE: development loans  vertical construction loans..

This caused a lot of developers to leave the city and has caused headaches for landlords.

You'd be better off building a solid emergency fund and developing relationships with reliable local GCs.

I did this with about 4 developments in PDX market and that was 2005.

Developing a strong network of individuals who care about bettering themselves, their family, their communities and especially helping out anyone who wants to make more of themselves.
