I'm already looking ahead to my next flip.For the first one I was working full-time at a bank, and didn't have the time to organize it 100% by myself, so I hired a GC.  

If you are going to invest out of state I think you likely need someone to help you set up your team and get organized to do this the right way.  

I've been in the lending space for a number of years now, and through purchasing a few homes and becoming a landlord, my interest in real estate has grown tremendously.

I am in the Bay Area as well and would love to organize a few of you for a conference call.

My wife and I both work in marketing / brand management for large organizations, but there is a part of us that still thinks like engineers.

So review what Than is doing to see how JWB has grown.

It also helps me organize contractors (when I am doing the GC work) to make sure all necessary steps are completed before, for example, the plumber shows up to rough in plumbing.

Still my business has grown over the past 6 months.Many people have told me you just need to do it.

Gino, along with his partner Jake, have grown their portfolio to over 900 units in just 5 years. 

I have spoken to two thus far who have very different systems for tracking expenses throughout the year as well as costs associate with their services (800-900 for one and 1200-1300 for the other - though both depend on how organized the files are come tax time).
