You need to demonstrate a substantial investment ($100K+}, a solid business plan indicating your ability to support yourself along with any family members, as well as the projection of hiring US persons within 5 years.

For illustration purposes if I were given the opportunity to finance my construction projects at 8O% LTC full recourse or 70% partial recourse I will select the higher levered recourse option because have confidence in my projects knowing the debt is sub 60% LTV and want the benefit of leverage. 

Have participated in about 6 PadSplit projects over the past year.

Hey @Kyle Thomas -- I am actually working a new project related to exactly those questions.

People laugh sometimes but I've bought two houses on credit cards using one of my account checks at times when I had a lot of projects going at once and was short on cash but didn't want to let a great deal go by.

My build cost psf for my own projects is around $135-$145, and I charge people between $190-225 psf. 

Contact me if you’d like to earn passive income or are in the business and are looking to collaborate on any projects.

In my ideal scenario, I would do some more entry level projects to start off while I learn the ins and outs, but my goal would be to eventually work on more luxury flips - larger scaled projects in more desirable neighborhoods (though fewer and farther between).  

Considering that he isn't there personally for the renovation he hires someone to manage the construction project.
