But the best ways to get started are, in my opinion: 1) save up enough for a 10-20% down payment and then save a lot more on top of that for reserves, overages, and any unforeseen repairs.    2) have your financial house in order and have credit above 700 to get more favorable rate and terms from lenders.   3) speak to a loan officer that is experienced with fix and flips and get the necessary documents together for a pre approval (typically not much required, usually a valid ID, LLC docs if any, and two months of bank statements showing funds for down payment and reserves).

So, if your father has all the credentials, then he needs to be approved as the builder on the project.  

The approval process for vouchers and red tape involved getting it set up is a real struggle. 

My thoughts are that it would help create more exposure in REI, give me real-world experience, appease the VA when approving my multi-family property and also help me make the plunge out of my W2 (which, admittedly, is slowly sucking the life out of me).

If they don't need an "official" floor plan, there is a free app where you walk around the room with your mobile device pointed at where the floor and wall meets.

We plan to build on our “Deal Finder”, introduce a mobile app, and build out solutions to help investors meet contractors, lawyers, wholesalers (avoiding wannabes who just bought some guru course), and maybe foray into commercial - allowing investors to connect with Commercial Brokers.
