If you’re considering flips to build capital, start with value-add rentals to gain rehab experience with lower risk.

Great post thanks1) Time2) Practical Experience (Getting Up and Riding Again after dumping the bike at a corner)3) Mistakes4) More Time5) or pay someone "one on one" to avoid the mistakes and cut the time considerablyThere are books, youtube and Real Estate meet ups, where you will get most of the stuff you need.  

If it was ripped like the one in the pic, no wonder why it didn't taste tender enough - too much muscle and not enough fat. 

Can you send me a link and/explain from either personal experience or an example of when you seen that happen.  

I'm looking to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, property managers and contractors who have experience in these areas. :-) 

How’s everyone doing ?I’m very new to this but I’m proud to say I am now an investor, I just haven’t invested in anything yet. I plan on taking a few years saving my money and learning as much as I can about real esta...

There are many HMLs that will finance new construction, but much of it is based on your experience, credit score, and the expected sale price.

There's obviously quite a bit of diligence that comes after such as who the key principles are and their credentials/track record (both balance sheet and experience), the underlying real estate and thesis behind the investment & tax prep and audit procedures but as a general rule of thumb if the investor can't get past the first part which is understanding what they are investing in, passive investing is probably not for that individual. 

Most of the lenders I work with (provided you have experience and a credit score over 660) would do up to 85% of the purchase price and up to 100% of the rehab costs, provided this doesn't exceed 75% of the ARV.As for the idea of selling the land, great idea.

In my experience, most properties that go to auction end up overpriced so I'd be prepared to attend a LOT in order to get something that worked on paper.When I attended my first market auction with an experienced agent the advice he gave me was to figure out my maximum beforehand and stick to it (Seems obvious but people get caught up in winning).
