I could use some help finding a good intermediary and would love to hear what someone experienced/learned by going through this.

I would recommend the One Brokerage, David Greene team.

This new area is basically double the housing cost then the first, but I think finding the team to manage will be much easier.

Hey Jonathan,I found contractors through refferals and facebook groups, those contractors were great but they are not experienced in new construction; plus with me being out of state it would be ideal for me to hire a GC, instead of sub hiring ( i dont have time for that being far away),I am switching from rentals and fix and flips due to there's just more profit when doing new construction, and way more deals!

I am starting and growing a Residential Rehab and/or Flipping team within the Greater Wichita area.

I recall reading in Forbes that major foundation fixes can add surprising value, becuase it addresses the single biggest fear buyers have.. a shaky structure.From my three decades in fix-and-flips, Ive noticed how important it is to have a team you trust.. from attorneys who know probate deals to realtors willing to drive for dollars with you, scouting hidden gems.

For example:Second, under their "About us" link, click on "Management" and you'll see a "Meet the Team" page where there's the following photo/info for this James LaPushner fellow you mentioned (which says he was born in New Zealand):However, if you do a reverse Google image search on this photo, you'll find that it's posted on several other sites, including this one: https://planetaseminarov.ru/people/konstantin-baksht.htmlHere's a photo of him from this page:This page is written in Russian, but if you translate it, it says his name is Konstantin Baksht, he lives in Moscow Russia, and he is the owner and CEO of the international consulting company Baksht Consulting Group. 

It’s a good sized group with experienced investors and newbies too.

In tight inventory markets like Boston, I encourage clients to clearly define their purchasing criteria, start looking, and then be patient.Some of the best deals I have seen or experienced personally happened during unusual circumstances.

An experienced team or partner can also help boost confidence.Providing a combination of a solid commitment letter, proof of funds, and a clear, professional approach signals you’re serious and capable of closing the deal.
