If I have a problem with my newspaper delivery or something equally non-critical, I'd like an answer or fix  now, but if it's later today or tomorrow, not a big deal. 

For my next deal I'm considering adding another duplex to the portfolio or investing in a syndication.

Which direction should be be looking?

Every investor faces challenges, whether it's finding deals, securing funding, or managing rehabs.

Hopefully this gives you some direction.

They’ve been really easy to work with but we haven’t closed a deal to have insight on that side of the transaction.

Here is an upcoming LA meetup with 29 wholesalers going:http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Real-Estate-Deal-Maker-Sessions/events/227145543/

How do these deals typically perform in terms of cash flow and equity growth? 

This means taking days off of work to handle business, dealing with the subs and any deficiencies they may have, spending time dealing with the city, for both permits and inspections.Having GC doing everything won't entirely eliminate your time cost, but it can mitigate it to an extreme degree.My take is that if you are confident that you can be as fast as the GC in handling everything and there is no negative impact to your other business then by all means do it.

How did you finance this deal?
