@Francisco PineiroYou could call a few home inspectors in the market you are investing in and see if they do draw inspections so you know the items are correctly done before sending funds

They also sell items at farmers markets.

Since the house was built in the 1940s, we should have tested for lead during the inspection.

We removed a chimney to open up the space and updated all the major ticket items—new electrical, HVAC, and roof.

Hey Quentin, It sounds like you’re in a solid position to start your real estate investment journey, especially with the equity you’ve built up in your home and your ability to handle renovations.

Hi Team,I am looking to buy brand new properties that are getting built here Herbert Avenue, Cincinnati 45215.

If we need customized items, like a Leasehold DOT on an airplane hangar portfolio, then we (borrower) pay extra. 

I look at every single item in the pro forma and imagine that it is complete BS, and see if I can challenge it.

There are three items required to make a successful partnership - Time, Experience, Capital.If you are a syndicator, you are likely expected to have time and experience.There is a lot that goes into being a competent syndicator - Proper communications, finding a good deal, communicating quarterly updates, networking with lenders, contractors, PM companies.You can gain experience by doing your own deals or working for someone who does(Ideally both).I personally think you should cement your experience before worrying about OPM.Best of luck

Starting a hard money lending company makes sense to me since I have hundreds of contacts in this business that I've built relationships for years, as well as it aligns with my origination background.
