Definitely would be interested in picking your brain a bit, particularly looking to build a solid team of trades people who specialize in flipping. 

If you don't the sellers see it as a RE-TRADE mid deal and playing dirty.

But wouldn't trade the experience for anything!

If you own the note, why would you need their platform to trade your note to the secondary market?

Is there any findings on the accuracy of Zillow Home Value Forecast?

I only accept bids from my subs which include full turnkey work for their trade/portion to prevent just that, and prevent that I get a call that oops, the electrician forgot to include 50' of service wire, so I need to run to hd out of my own pocket, and then find a 49' piece rolled up on-site that he'll take with since it was too short anyway.

I am a Plumber by trade for the past 19 years and for the past year have moved into the design department with my company in designing the plumbing systems.  

This is what they said. 1) HD pays their contractors (independent subs) at the very bottom of the pay range for whatever trade they do. 2) The subs make up for the low wages by gouging for extras.

HiI am getting started in REI and working on building up my contact list of other investors, attorneys, handymen and other friends.A little about meI have been studying real estate basics for the last 6 years, helped few of my own close friends ( my own home) buy and sell houses just to learn the trade but not for commissionWith my education and bit of experience, just started venturing in this new field but puruing very actively and aggressively.I realized having a good team along side in my journey will truly be helpful and mutually beneficial.Please reach out with your interests in REI and how we will be able to help each other.I live in the nw suburbs in Chicago area and currently working on a townhouse deal.

Even with flips, it still take several months.Personally, unless you have a commission based job or do daytime trading, I don't see a reason to track your network every day.
