Quote from @Khon Kounbandith: Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

We have two flip homes and are possibly looking for investors, or to get a loan.

If you are doing a live-in flip why not use that equity for a down payment with a refi or HELOC?

They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.

@Timothy Frazier Yes, the only reason to use HML as a down payment is if the property is "mostly turnkey" AND you don't have the funds to renovate AND you have strong CMA comps from a real estate agent that supports that the fact that you are buying a property that is under valued AND your renovations would push that so that you could refinance.

I am a real estate agent trying to make new connections that is looking into property investing in the future. 

All in all, I'd like to worm my way into the REI space and preemptively thank everyone who has taken the time to read my long introduction and offers their advice.Thank you,JohnTo keyword farm: rehabbing, fix and flip, house flipping, BRRRR, multi-family, apartment, long-term rentals Holla

Something like practicing math homework at home, but with a focus on real estate instead.My pleasure, man.

I decided to break it down and share the REAL costs and not just estimates.A lot of the work was screwing down and fixing the subfloor as well as completely screwing and securing the ceiling sheetrock.

Build a local team, including a trustworthy real estate agent, property manager, and inspector, to help you identify and manage deals remotely.
