I have colleagues that have gotten caught up in those mainly promises of large loans you know 10 to 100 mil.. its coming next week just need the Sultan of Burnai to sign off that kind of BS..

I invest mainly in Tampa Bay Area but will start flipping on the side from next year

Main thing here is your credit utilization rate: if you want to refi down the road, it is best to keep credit utilization as low as possible to keep your credit score up.

We won out mainly for purchasing without a loan (yes, hard money, although strong, can still go sideways in a deal).

Mainly investors/landlords or home owners?  

Good afternoon fellow investors,I just closed on my first rental property, which consists of a main house with 3 attached smaller units (efficiencies) - this is very normal in this area- , everything is on one meter.The previous owner used to live in the main house and therefore all utilities were included in the smaller units's rent payments.

My main questions:Should I hire a general contractor to manage the entire renovation, or would it be better to hire specialized contractors for each part of the project (flooring, paint, HVAC, etc.)?

The main thing with a non-local lender is they might not fully understand the specific market dynamics of your area, which can sometimes affect appraisals or timelines.However, they might be able to provide lower rates or better terms than local lenders so it is worth looking into.
