We have a good Accountant but I can't stand the loose ends that pile up and want to be more proactive.

@Anne Williams     Congratulations on buying your first home!

Some of his requests include asking to spray his exterior wood pile for spiders, replace a dryer knob, replace working doorbell, and increase flow of refrigerator water line.

These aren't issues that are specific to flipping and should be a primary focus for any real estate investment - The bottom line is that you made a profit despite the challenges you faced - and congratulations for that - but it seems to the bystander that you gambled with another investor's money while investing very little of your own - you put yourself in the position of a teacher or mentor when in fact you are not extremely experienced in the business of flipping - consider how you would feel if you lost a portion of your partner's investment....Today I am closing on the purchase of my 15th flip for the year, and I wouldn't dream of taking on an investment partner who wasn't equally experienced and had an equal say in the decision process.Good Luck with your future projects and Happy Investingjeff 

Congratulations on your first year! 

I.......being from the pac NW where a SF costs about $300k for a 1,200 SF dump and your numbers run about a 4% CAP at best (I am sure there is good money here but it might take a Scrooge McDuck pile of cash to make it).......have been reviewing out of state REI's for a long time, Cleveland being a primary target (not the east side....wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy). 

Congratulations on winning some liens and a deed.

Opening a HELOC, but not actually drawing on the HELOC, is like "stock piling" cash without the cost of the interest burn.
