I typically don't comment on other's businesses unless I know from personal experience.

I always remember that rockstars know rockstars, so find someone who is a mover and shaker - likely a meetup host - and then ask them who they know.The people doing 100 flips are super busy, so I've also found the best person to find is someone who is a step or two ahead of me...so maybe for you, that is someone doing 2-3 flips a year. 

Focus on connecting with the ones who add the most value and ask for the least from you.

We're based in Tampa and, in addition to personally investing, I own a mortgage company that provides financing for tons of investors.

There are some great tools out there always, but get connected and network as much as possible.

Ultimately it would boil down to your personal risk tolerance.

Personal money How did you add value to the deal?

Personally, I wouldn't open up a home that isn't in good repair, from a liability standpoint if nothing else.
