Doesn't necessarily need to be something monetary but even the possibility of hiring them for your properties could be value.After a couple times of doing these, you'll have a better understanding of the process... but there will still be variables (labor, materials, your exit strategy also carries weight as well, whether you're going to fix-and-flip to a retail buyer or rent it out.)

Also have Windows based Laptop, and Apple IPad 2 for remote MLS Access that I carried when actively showing properties.  

Affordable prices and booming economy and GROWTH:The region has been Virginia’s fastest growing for five consecutive years, with a population of 338,000.A highly skilled and expanding labor force of more than 1 million resides within a 40 mile commute.Strategically located just 35 miles south of the nation’s capital and 35 miles north of Richmond, capital of Virginia.Over 47 miles of Interstate-95 serve the region, carrying 120,000 cars per day.Excellent rail service is easily accessible, including Virginia Railway Express’s commuter service and Amtrak.

On projects, where the GC is supplying the material/labor and carrying the cost the incentive is to get the work done ASAP in order to sell and recoup the investment.   

I just listened to the podcast with Jason and Carrie Harris from Utah County and it gave me some hope for finding deals in Utah.Thanks for reading!

Will - I'm working to refi primary and another rental we have, but selling the primary before running out of cash on hand is doubtful (it's also an expensive property) and we'd need to sell one property to be able to carry the flip house mortgage long term. 

Long story short, your HELOC is going to carry a 6%+ interest rate to start with and most likely will climb from there.

You will need to be able to carry both the loans to qualify for the purchase.* If you are moving just a short distance from the current PR and/or moving from a SFH to multi, then make sure you have very good explanation letter to convince the underwriter why they should approve this purchase as an owner occupied.With regards to the financing options, I always prefer conventional, so PMI eventually drops off.

Caused the buyer much higher carrying costs and months of delay in securing the rehab loan to finally finish the house.
