Quote from @April Sanders: Hello all...I am have been working on analyzing deals but really struggling with estimating rehab costs.

After 2 years of learning, I have come to realize there is no such thing as "No money down from a lender without and deals under my belt."

Once you have a few deals under your belt, then you can start looking into LLCsHope this help man.

Visit some properties, eat at some resturants, make some connections(realtors, insurance agents, etc).Once you visit the area, you can make a better informed decision if thats an area that you want to buy in.Once you did this, and you are new to buying properties, I would maybe visit the property when it is being inspected.Once you have a couple of properties under your belt, you can rely on the home inspection report.Best of luck

With you getting the ball rolling you need to get properties under your belt and get the snow ball rolling.

I found it to be very useful because I was able to 1) get detailed knowledge about actual pricing and 2) control costs by establishing vendor accounts with Home Depot.However, once you have several successful flips under your belt and have built relationships with trusted contractors and are looking to do more volume, transitioning to contractor-sourced materials maximizes efficiency.

Once you get multiple under your belt, it becomes a lot easier to do this type of creative financing.Just keep in mind, private money loans can come with higher interest rates, so you’ll want to ensure the margins on your flip are high enough to cover those costs while still leaving room for profit.If you’ve got any more questions, feel free to reach out—happy to help where I can!

If I could collect the amount t of money people on BP spend for belts and suspenders for so called corporate protection and confidentiality I would be a billionaire

Once you have a few successful deals under your belt, you can explore leveraging options like hard money to scale your portfolio more aggressively.Good luck with your investment journey!

Instead, buy a belt and smack yourself on the back until the urge goes away, it will be less painful.I done many inheritances/probates and the only ones that worked, were when everyone got along well and agreed to sell.
