@Geremy Rosenberg one of the best rules I was ever taught - "An investor makes their money when they buy".Negotiate hard on reducing the sales price because even if you get bids from contractors, there are ALWAYS surprises that drive up the rehab costs.

Sounds like you have the drive and hustle to get started.

By adhering to a structured and detailed screening process, investors can identify and partner with reliable sponsors, ultimately driving project success and profitability.

A lender wants to make sure you are making money, so they are returned the borrowed funds.2) Make sure the property is driving distance to where you live.

Now this one obviously given the price is above that.. but still market flooded with inventory will drive prices right on down.  

You'll have to convince private money investors you have the knowledge, skills, talents, expertise and drive to help their money do just that. 

Should I use something like propstream to find all acreage that fits my size parameters then just start doing drive-bys to see if it looks like it would work?

If they are still being used does any one have an idea of the pay range for standard drive by BPO's and interior BPO's?

Hi Mikey,Great to see your passion and drive in real estate!

There has been significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations (2 data centers), driving up property prices and job opportunities.
