Hi I’m Alvin Barker an eastern Iowa investor focusing on Benton, Jones, and Linn Counties more Benton co. because its where I want to be located myself.Been out of real-estate for 30 years because of 2 devoices and other life challenges like identity theft.Looking to fix and flip dong most the rehab myself I been listing to the pod casts and have a few books they all say don’t do the rehab yourself get a contractor, then tell about all the trouble they have with the contractors, 30 years ago thats what fix and flip was doing as much you could your self.

2) there are some great pod casts on here and some great videos etc.

@Jerry Pollio so I really have done pretty much everything every one of these pod cast talk about.

I've heard on some of the pod cast of wholesalers who I think find the deal and may even the make-ready work you noted above then sell them to investors.  

It's not what you can see, it's what you can't see that will reach out and bite you right in the behind.The only way you can even get close to a realistic cost study is to strip the home down to the bones, thoroughly inspect the foundation, check for adequate drainage away from the structure, thoroughly inspect the infrastructure including the cast iron and/or clay water and sewage plumbing and the electrical and gas lines. 

You will find resources here from blogs to pod casts and forums.

If you want the look of wood but the durability of tile, they now make tile planks that look like wood, and some have varied casts, so each one looks a little different.

I've started listening to the BP pod cast on my commute to work and have already learned many tips from structuring deals, value of partnerships and tax strategies for maximizing profits.
