Also, try to find some players in your market and see if you can follow them around, answer phones, or do some work for them for free.

I am looking for help of any kind from experienced players to help make this possible.

Think about the greatest players to ever swing a bat and look at their percentages.

Sadly many of the larger players are now marketing the houses that are in such bad areas they cant turnkey them to people as fixer-uppers or equity deals.

I would recommend that you go to one and learn who some of the players in your market are.

@Jorge Barboza Jr.Tom is right, determine each player's roles and contributions, including time, talents, and money.You may even decide to have one party active and the other passive. 

Its not enjoyable to do remote rehabs and distressed property in midwest and midsouth markets are sometimes in rough neighborhoods which is best left to the local players only.You can learn about syndications which do involve value play when asset is sold within their time horizons

For me, flipping is like roulette at the casino...so treat it like a business and not a hobby.

@Aida Casino    Keep in mind Hard Money is more expensive which should only be used if you have no cheaper option when the opportunity arises.

I’ll also be sure to check out MK3.In general, it’s best to have those key players lined up before really zeroing in on a deal anyway, right?
