But the best way to get around something like this is by finding someone with experience that will partner with you on your first deal.

Partner Driven was drawn to the Pine Cone Way property in Mountain Ranch, CA, due to its potential for significant value increase through strategic renovations.

Consider saving, or bringing in a partner to help hedge the expenses 

A business partner brought this deal to us.

Partner Driven was attracted to the Devon Drive deal in Albany, GA, due to its potential for a high return on investment with no renovation costs.

My biz partner knew the previous owner and her family.

Your mentor is using a cash partner and not his own money to JV with you?

I can see more agents finding someone like me that partners on fix and flip and just buy their own deals and cut the investor out of the equation. since they are doing all the work for small fee especially in low value markets they can now pick up the profit on the deal along with listing commish and basically do the same thing.. they can cut down on volume and make more money .

Keep ya posted...hit me back with any thoughts.Cheers,MilesI'm a multifamily property specialist/broker and my business partner is the president of a highly successful steel based modular manufacturing company.

The average time to flip a home is 6 months --again averages, but with a solid network and referral partner you can find incredible deals that are far less price than $250k (like $70 - $90k) and average profit potentials over double from the 20% average example, pending on extra hands provided for your daily research.
