I've already got a salaried position which demands more hours than it pays (like they all do), so something with minimal hands on requirement in my spare time would be ideal.

I also have a LTR single family home with positive cash flow.  

Instead, he suggested I find a GC that's willing to enter projects in a "supervisory" position.

Quote from @Arya Taghdiri: Hi all— I’m just starting out as a real estate investor in the Cincinnati market and would love to connect with others who are in the same position or have experience here.

Or, do he need to send some type of escrow instructions that outline 1st position, will fund after all docs signed, etc?

If banks controlled all this business and did away with the broker model and like what I experienced the lender was a bank employee and was on salary not commish.. docs are prepped by the bank ( on my commercial loans that is free no charge NO JUNK Fees at all just appraisal and 1/2 a point to maybe 1 point. this is a stumbling block for owner occ especially first time buyers who dont have money for closing costs and generally need the seller to contribute you know I see it all the time on my starter homes that I finance for flippers.. virtually everyone has seller assist on it to pay for all the junk fee's and brokers fees.. its getting paid somewhere and that just makes it harder for those buying homes to live in ..  

Once you have a steady cash flow and a better understanding of what goes into renovations, you’ll be in a stronger position to move into MTR or consider a fix-and-flip project.

As someone who moved to Waco from Miami just because my wife got a senior position in Magnolia, I've met many families and individuals who have come to Waco from LA, NYC, Seattle, etc. just to work at Magnolia, SpaceX, Baylor, and some big churches in town, such as Antioch.

Must be disciplined and cash flow positive. 

I, too, shifted from working with adolescents and young adults to getting into Real Estate... in hindsight, that past experience has helped me in this field, and I believe it will help you as well.2 things I recommend for new BP members in your position:- Use the search feature to find people and topics of interest.
