Hello BP Community,
I’m in the Phoenix metro area and am looking to acquire my first investment property to flip. To keep expenses down I would like to perform some of the cosmetic work myself. I’ve done several live...

We may have three or four different purchases (to keep the personal items separate from the individual business expenses.) 

Some common items to note: roof, electrical and plumbing, window updates.

They are one of the higher maintenance items and seem to only last a few years before being loud, wobbly or needing replacement. 

Look at the property when you buy it to see what the estimated shelf life will be for major items like roof, HVAC, floors, Kitchen, driveway, etc... 

The only point I would maybe add is that in this type of environment only big box landlords and property owners can competeOn the first interview on the BP podcast with Grant Cardone, he specifically said he wants to invest in Blue states because of all the above mentioned items you listed....but that's Grant Cardone he can afford to take on the extra burden that comes with crushing regulation.

Do you know what the typical items banks consider in giving someone a loan or line of credit for their business are?

If it's a triplex and each unit needs the same work... then you need to multiply times 3 plus any exterior or shared items. 

I have a list of 12 items. 

Memphis has a diverse economy with strong sectors in transportation, logistics, healthcare, and education.
