I don’t mind paying those fees if I can build a solid, long lasting business quickly.I know I can piece together all these things by attending my local REI meetings and making connections there.

I know that RTR positions themselves as “turnkey” but the reality is that they are more of a hybrid model - they set you up with everything you need and facilitate relationships with lenders, insurance, property managers, and so forth - but they are not the actual service providers.

Stay consistent, follow up relentlessly, and don’t get discouraged by setbacks. 

Additionally, it needs a new roof, new HVAC, new plumbing, the septic is over 30 years old, the well could use a filter, a few new windows, none of the electric is up to code… and it’s on almost an acre of land….

@Kiryl Ulanovich,You're on the right track:Get Pre-Approval from Hard Money Lender – Know your terms and limits upfront.Find a Deal Through a Wholesaler – Verify numbers and ensure it meets your criteria.Review the Assignment of Contract – Confirm terms, earnest money, and contingencies.Conduct Due Diligence – This includes an inspection (if allowed), verifying ARV, and rehab estimates.Submit to Hard Money Lender for Final Approval – Lender will review title, contract, and property condition.Title Search & Clear Any Issues – Ensure a clean title before closing.Close Through Title Company – Finalize funding and take ownership.Consider also lining up contractors early for a smooth transition into renovations.
