I'm new here to the BiggerPockets site. I have 1 rental for which I have been renting since 2018. I am looking to purchase more rental properties in the near future.

My original plan was to utilize a real estate agent to be my property manager that I met through a Dave Ramsey referral program, but I'm exploring if I should attempt this on my own.  

Hire a cheap crew to tunnel and the real plumber to set and replace the pipe. 

Quote from @Brian Rocha: I'm looking to secure a HML for a fix n flip in Florida and for now and am only looking to secure for the purchase price only and handle the rehab costs myself.

Part of the investment thesis was getting it for a bargain, then building an ADU complex on it as affordably as possible, getting it to cash flow, and realizing value on both the rental income but also property appreciation given the work going into it.If the property will really only be worth ~$1.70M once we are finished, I will likely just stop the project now and exit the house as soon as possible.If you do not get dollar for dollar for projects such as this, how would house flipping ever work?

I changed my major from Accounting to Real Estate back in 2018 when I was attending Glendale Community College.

In my case, my specialty is flipping the transferable residential development rights from resource land such as farm and undeveloped rural-residential multi-acre parcels.

At the time they had a real estate degree (they probably still do).

Still with no real world experience. 

I helped a guy that did some flips there, he said timbertown was really good, I helped him get an account at CED in pflugerville.
