We have been flipping for about 10 years in U.S and we definitely understand that there may be many rules, laws and regulations limiting the ability to flip for a profit worth the effort.

They are profitable, modestly so, and the real opportunity here is long term. 

We are living in the GREATEST housing 4 profit enviroment EVER in our life times, our parents, grandparents EVER! 

Builders typically charge 2-3X the market rate for those items, which becomes a new profit center for them, since you'd be throwing that credit away if you didn't use them. 

Focus on that, not the profit or loss and move on with your lives. 

In other words, it could reduce the max loan amount if the deal is too thin (not enough profit) for the lender's risk appetite.

But the real sweet part of it is that the rise in price stayed way up there and lumber dropped back down.. so we made it and continue to make a better profit on the last 30 houses..

What strategies do you use to identify profitable fix and flip opportunities and How do you secure funding for your fix and flip projects?

Or would it be better to simply partner with them, they are friends of mine, with the repairs for a percentage of the profit?

Implementing systems to make your portfolio more profitable is key.Congrats on all your success!!
