You cannot have your cake and eat it too.My suggestion for passive investors is to play it safe, get low risk B investments, take good care of your properties and play the long game.If you are an active investor who can buy or rehab residential, or you are comfortable going into industrial or retail space, those can be great investments. 

White is also still popular in flips due to buyers being able to change it easier upon closing or if lighting is poor and the space needs to be brightened up.  

Which is not easy in the renovation space, but that's why I love it!

I have a background in project management and marketing, which I hope will help me navigate this space as I grow my knowledge. 

@Menelik Rowe you should connect with @Mark Ainley.

He was never even a good salesperson (pushy sales tactics are often taught by gurus but simply don't work for most personalities, Jordan Belfort of all people called him out on this during an interview that was very revealing), and his real estate syndication funds are now rumored to be total scams (he allegedly buys the properties separately beforehand then marks them up millions before selling them to his fund using his investor's money, like a wholesaler basically but taking $50M fees from investors without disclosing it.

It is space under a stair case or space that isn't being used? 

(Say having 4 bridge loans out at once) Maybe trying a direct mailer and see if you can get a property under contract without a wholesaler bringing you a marked up deal?

If the plan is to alter the footprint of the home your site plan will need 2' elevation contours, trees and waterways marked.

Most investors opt for the skeleton versions that truly miss the mark and lead to convoluted amended and restated agreements that cost far more to correct than simply paying for the agreements to be drafted by a professional at the start.
