In my business, as a kitchen contractor, I meet "investors" who want to partner up all the time.

I used to live in McKinney and there are great communities to meet seasoned investors, agents, contractors, and more.

Plus if you are worried about the seller damaging the place, then inviting contractors in to do work is asking for trouble...redoing the roof immediately after closing is completely doable.

Realtors are the same percentagewise as any other profession, whether it be doctors, lawyers, contractors, you name it. 10% are garbage80% are average10% are pros If you can find the last 10%, go with a Realtor and make your life easier. 

For starters, I partnered with a bad wholesaler/contractor on remodeling a duplex in Indianapolis.

Making contacts including HML, contractors, RAs and Property Managers.

Shorter holding periods also help mitigate risk, so working with a reliable contractor is key.

Born and raised Buffalonian,  contractor, real estate agent / flipper.   

Either you do all the work yourself, i.e. no contractors, no managers and no cleaners - or you do 100 hours of hands-on work and none of these other people do more hours than you.

Asks the end buyer to pretend they’re a contractor, or “partner.”
