Now, I'm stepping into the investor role myself and looking to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals.I'm eager to share insights from my lending experience while also gaining knowledge from seasoned investors.

Sounds like you’ve got some solid experience under your belt.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience developing or owning something like this.

With flip loans, experience is key.

A partnership requires three things to be successful - Experience, Capital and Time.It looks like you have the capital and experience but maybe not the time.I have my doubts about this working if you have a friend who has weak credit and a limited cash flow.

If so, how is your experience?

I recently relocated to Arizona, drawn by its rapid industrial growth, particularly in high-potential sectors such as semiconductors and electric vehicles.What I Bring to the Table:I have hands-on experience as a real estate agent during my college years and am currently exploring opportunities to transfer my license to Arizona.

A solid strategy is to look at recently renovated properties in the same neighborhood that have sold and compare their finishes, square footage, and layout to your potential investment.As for value-adds, some of the biggest ARV boosters I’ve seen include:•Adding extra bedrooms/bathrooms if the layout allows•Upgrading kitchens & bathrooms (modern finishes, quartz/granite countertops)•Improving curb appeal (landscaping, exterior paint, new doors/windows)•Enhancing tenant experience (in-unit laundry, smart locks, better lighting)If you’re serious about making moves, I’d love to help—I can even fund your project if you’re looking for financing.

I would try to tie those experiences and skill sets to your REI path.  

Does anybody here recommend any mentors/resources/tools/or has experience doing it themselves and would be open to connecting?
