I build most of my projects myself but since I generally work with out of area investor partners on my projects, these costs are generally what any GC in this area would charge.

The reason why I decided on Baltimore is because my friend-partner lives there and he had done 20+ flips in the last 3-4 years. 

I looking at how I can enter the US REI and am considering partnering with a local investor.

@Jagjit SinghWe have partners who are foreign investors.

A group of us invested and basically lost our money when one of the partners was arrested for some bad business.

Partners are difficult to find as well because most people at networking events are either have no experience, looking to remain more passive or way too experienced and have their own dream time.

Don't do it yourself if you have a partner. 

@Tomas Nuno I have house hacked with 2 separate partners for almost 30 years.

My business partner and I are investors in the area as well.

Share your goals, a property you may be searching for, or a partner you may be seeking.
