One lesson I learned as I started my investing business is that this is not a task that one can handle alone.

But you will not be able to pre-finance based on future ARV with a retail lender...which is the impossible task you seem to want to do...UNLESS you go the 203(k) route which is expensive and restrictive unless you already have the perfect GC lined up.

I pay asap... every time.I also try and clear the way for the contractor so the area is clear, the scope of work is clear, and they can get in and out (not wade through a tenant's junk or have to do a half dozen add on tasks). 

@Lee Fahy that was quite the adventure I went on through the life of the Investa-Brothel...

If it's a very low level task (ie: demo) hire some college kids to help around $8-$10/hr.   

If you own a house near college you will feel stuck there or you will become a long distance landlord when you are a busy college student.Also once you finish college you may end up living in a completely different part of the country for graduate school, your first professional job, or some other adventure.

But hey.... what are crazy adventures for right?

This has freed me up with extra time, is there someone who could use project managing or help with tedious task for example--I have my own truck to do store runsAlso, what are other good ways to get involved with local RE Investors in Denver? 

I have been reading a lot about flipping vacant land and while reading through blogs or listening to podcasts, I have heard it multiple times that some counties offer a free information on the delinquent taxes, but it sound like it is more of a task to get this information than using agentpro247 or paying for the county list.
