I would always prefer to use as low a down payment as possible, but I understand that being located 1 hour from Indianapolis may present some challenges.I currently have a W2 income in Lafayette and am a licensed realtor in Indiana as well.

Make sure whoever you use is licensed and insured. 

Work with a licensed GC (if this is your first fixer) If you have verifiable rehabs in the past 36 months that you have closed on you can rehab it yourself as long as its not a heavy rehab. 2.

Just because they have a real estate license does not mean they know anything about purchasing good investments.

"You can't be paid for raising money if you are not a licensed broker."

I'm not licensed in your state or I would be glad to help.How we got it approved.It was very similar to the same thing you stated. 

Hi my name is Noah, I'm a licensed GC in NOCO. 

For example, the city can still require a license to operate an STR, which comes with a number of requirements (e.g., sufficient insurance, application fees, certificate of occupancy, etc.).

I am a licensed agent, have done Fix and Flips and Wholesale.

It's simple enough to get your GC license in Philly and if you have the experience, you should do well running your own jobs.
