HelloI'm an investor and general contractor serving Indy and Central Indiana. 

And there was no chance in hell that my investors would not get their money back: I had confidence in my deals and my ability to manage contractors and enough of my own capital as a risk buffer.

I am familiar with the rehab process, contractors, tenants, etc...

Have you spoken to any site contractors in the area or even outside of the area?

If accepted, I have my inspector inspect the property and provide me a report on the state of all systems and structural. then I use this report to build my scope of work and know what repairs need to be made. then I type out this list and solicit bids from 2-3 contractors/GCs/ handymen depending on the nature of the rehab.

I am a 21 year old and I’m currently employed as a 1099 contractor (intern) for a digital marketing company and have been working there for a little over a year now (Haven’t filed taxes yet).

You pay a once off membership cheapest one is $18k, and then after his team will find you deals, you put down the down payment and his team will do the financing and if there is any work that needs to be done they get the contractors and over look the whole project from start to finish and manage it also.

I have met some of my partners at meet ups, best contractors, scored deals, raised money for deals, you name it. 

I had a RE license as an Investor/Contractor and never saw that it saved much money (My experience anyway) People think you save 2.5 - 3% on every deal because you don't pay a Buyer's agent.....but most sellers are not dumb and will not automatically 'give' you that money, they will either expect that they keep it or maybe work out some kind of a split.So if you are just going to be an investor, there is no way that it is worth the cost (IMO)

If it is not in the contract, the contractor has the right to believe they are not responsible for it.
