3.Any recommendations for contractors or permit expediters in Covington who can assist with this process?

So for the first property which will cost over $1 mil to construct, there will be stacked loans, essentially $280K will come from loan assistance program,( the name is not correct but the same idea).

If there were any type of remote assistant role in helping someone with their business, while also learning we would love to hear more.

It sounds like you have a great background for investing as well as assisting other real estate investors in buying suitable real estate. 

Father can assist with some functions, but I guess the more he's involved the more one could argue that he needs a license. 

Ask for Merry, the Executive Assistant.

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

Collaborating with seasoned investors or assisting with deal analysis can also provide valuable hands-on experience.Good luck!

@Brittney Yang first red flag is it doesn’t sound like he’s that interested in long term holds but the primary reason for partnership is expertise in renovation and secondary reason is balance sheet and income to help get financing.Regarding reason one, I would offer to compensate him for his time in assisting you and have a very clear scope of what that responsibility is.  

If I can help I’m happy to assist!
