Very good   we sold 3 flips last month and working on 2 right nowWe bought a bunch to hold as well1 piece of advise - don’t buy on market I am buying w issues   I solve whatever issue and make a lot of equity or moneyStill hosting 2 nd weds of the month which was last week  and tonight I’m the guest speaker at the Reia You have my info  if I can bring you value let me know 

One of the biggest risks I observe with flips and first time investors are instances where the project goes over budget or gets stuck in mud, can't sell and even worse the borrower doesn't have the credit profile to refinance out to a lower interest lending source if borrower is required to hold the property as a rental. 

Beyond experience, make sure they align with your vision for scaling and financial independence.Finally, don’t let fear of the unknown hold you back.

I buy and sell and also buy and hold in Pittsburgh and this is about the average.

However, I find I usually have to do a little more education or hand-holding up-front with them (because there can be a lot of things they don't know- whether it's about how Airbnb / VRBO work or what the rental process is like). 

We paid them 9% interest (they put a private mortgage on the property) and give them 19% membership interest in the holding company LLC How did you add value to the deal?
