Efficiency Comes from Building the Right TeamOne of the biggest ways we’ve streamlined our business is by bringing everything in-house.

The first apartments I rented as the owner, were previously rented by the former owner at $150 month including utilities. 

Looking to start a granite and counter top business and was wondering if anyone has done this?

@Ricky Smith if you continue to expand, how will you hire help w/o a PMC set up?

Rates are a bit higher but if you can leverage up to do more than 1 flip at a time, it will be worth paying the lender fees.

Folks just need to understand things never stay the same..

If you used a loan to rehab your property and find yourself in a difficult position, doing a straight refi (just paying off the old mortgage) will be easier than trying to pay off the original loan and take additional cash out.

And the tenants still lived there, they had just been putting old mattresses, broken furniture, and crud there for years.

If you are able to lock up deals and you mess up the repair estimate (like most wholesalers), no one is going to buy it and you will be buying too high.

I'm have been asked to enter into a partnership with an experienced investor, and I'm not sure how to or the best way to structure a partnership.
