I'm looking for an experienced contractor to partner with on my first full flip; I own two properties and have done minor renovations to those properties but this is my first full flip with a full rehab so I want someone with experience to assist as I learn the ropes.

For example, I hate to sell anything, but I am selling two properties to raise funds for a new primary that meets my goals.Study the market and really lock in what it will rent for.

Louis area and I work for Remax Best Choice.I used the cash-flow calculator to check the 6 properties we just closed on.

I might buy 1 property that has cash flow, another that has a great purchase price, another that has great appreciation prospects and yet another with great financing terms. 

We manage a property that was having drain field issues for awhile, got estimates and had the owner approve one of the vendors.

Does anyone have strategy recommendations for purchasing multi-family properties with zero-low downpayments?

No doubt buying the first property can seem very scary but ideally, you are working with a realtor and lender who owns STRs.

For finding my first properties, word of mouth and local networking worked well, plus reaching out to hosts on Airbnb with personalized messages.When pitching, focus on how you’ll add value (like boosting reviews or optimizing pricing) and avoid coming off too salesy.

Green for low and red for high property values.

Make sure your website or social media clearly says you buy investment properties.
