Your best bet is a Fix and Flip loan (HML).  

Don't kid yourself regarding flips - if you are doing flips, you are not retired.

Based out of Salt Lake City and looking to do multi-state investments in real estate by flipping or renting. 

Quote from @Anthony French: I’m relatively new to real estate development, having completed only one fix-and-flip project.

In answer to your question- Yes, I hope to buy and hold here and flip when possible.

My father is a certified contractor in NJ—he’s built one home, flipped four, and consistently handles upgrades and maintenance for me and his other clients.I’d appreciate any tips or stories from those who’ve turned equity into a profitable venture.

I can handle about 80% of the work for a property flip.

Quote from @Scott MacComb: I am doing my first true house flip (have remodeled plenty of houses for rental) and am trying to figure out a contract to use with a new general contractor whom I have not worked with previously. 

if you try a flip, you could break even or even lose money. 

Even with renovation costs and insurance costs the fix n flips are still making money.
