I work as a consultant specializing in analytics and controls.  

Experienced REI Rehabber, wholesaler, contractor looking for a private money source that would like to JV and or PI future projects in Florida, Texas, California, Denver or anywhere the analytic's show promise.

I was the numbers guy...finding the deal, doing the upfront analytics, managing the budget, etc.

The most important thing that VC's are looking for besides other things is "Positive Cash Flow" and "Execution".Once you gain real traction and show your analytic s for your business regarding growth ( month over month or week over week) with your ability to execute, then maybe you can have some heads turning your way.  

I've been finding Zillow really helpful in evaluating properties by using the properties that are listed for rent nearby.I don't even bother with Craigslist because it's so antiquated, doesn't have any data analytics, or sales/rental history.Completely agree Zillow the way to go!

A lot of calculating, analytically-oriented investors get stuck creating spreadsheets and running equations and forget they actually have to BUY something at some point.Glad to have you here, and also utilize Meetup.com I found a lot of real estate groups on there (browser-based and iphone app) and you can get plugged in very quickly.My dayjob is real estate investing, so let's meet up sometime and go over your ideas!

Thank you for the encouragement,  You guys hit it on the head Ive have been blessed/cursed with an over analytical mind.

The crucially key factors to make this work in your favor here are the numbers have to be superb and the off-world investor has to be easily within reach for you.

Living in Colorado Springs, and just going to do a lot of reading and analytics. 

It helps me to have control over my projects but also is an opportunity to work with other investors.Today the South Philly rehab is complete and the house is under sale contract, and I have superb crew to deliver excellent work.
