@Doug Henderson, there aren’t a lot of syndicators with multiple cycle experience on BP—as you’ve astutely already pointed out, many of them started in the last several years as a rising tide has lifted all boats.  

Figure out what the seller is looking for.

I know there are bad Contrs out there)2) Also in my experience, the customer should not be involved in picking up materials, ever.

Hey nice to meet you PatrickI forgot to say that I’m an out of state investor but definitely want to come and join meetups I’m new to this market and thinking to invest on west Columbia, Lexington and Greenville on the northeast. 

Yes, You can buy and asset, fix it up and rent it out to make money without you physically having to work for the money. 

All my properties worked out great and I have no regrets.

I am concerned on the timing of when I should reach out to State Farm too Or at least understand any concerns or issues ahead before I reach them.

Reach out if you have any other questions, and good luck!
