I cant see buying acers of undeveloped land with 70k..Best thing you can do is take your money and partner with someone whos crushing it and joint venture on deals together.

I'm making a healthy downpayment cash by doing a cash out refinance on three of my established properties that I know can cover the debt service handily.

Run by Dutch Mendenhall and Amy Vaughn, they solicit hard money loans (which they do not pay back) and joint venture real estate deals which they also do not pay back. 

I also was very excited about the joint ventures.

The days of quick, minimal-effort flips yielding massive returns are largely behind us, but prepared investors with an eye for neighborhood-specific improvements can still achieve healthy profits.The most successful flippers in today's Phoenix market are those who:- Conduct thorough due diligence on neighborhoods and price points- Build robust contractor relationships- Focus on sustainable, energy-efficient renovations- Stage properties impeccably for the target buyer demographicFor those willing to adapt to changing market conditions, Phoenix continues to offer one of the most dynamic house flipping environments in the Southwest.

We didn’t find a joint investment, but I found an off-market deal and invested with my dad separately.

Here's my situation:2024:- W2 income: ~ $1M (married filing jointly in CA) LLC profit: $80K (from 2 real estate flips, in NC on spouse's name)Capital loss carryover: $380K (from stocks in 2023)In what cases can my LLC profit be treated as capital gains? 

I’m also using a 6% vacancy rate, which brings the net monthly cash flow to about $200 and a CoC return of 13.06%.Summary:I’ve created around $50k in equity (difference between ARV of $200k and total investment of $155k).I’ve got about $10k or $18,385 left in the deal (factoring in closing costs).The cash flow is healthy, and the CoC return is strong, especially as a first-time investor.Questions:Does anything look off or could I improve the numbers?

Here are some financing options to consider:HELOC or Cash-Out Refi on Another Property – If you or your mom have equity elsewhere, this could be a more flexible and lower-interest option.Business Line of Credit – Since the property is in an LLC, you might qualify for a business LOC, which could cover construction costs.Private Money Lender – If you’re okay with 12-15% rates, a private lender could fund this as a short-term loan, especially if the guesthouse will generate strong income.Construction Loan – Some lenders offer short-term construction financing, which converts to a longer-term mortgage once completed.Seller/Partner Financing – Bringing in an investor or structuring a joint venture with someone willing to fund the build in exchange for a share of the income.Credit Card Stacking or Unsecured Business Loans – Riskier but could work if you need to bridge a gap until the unit starts cash flowing.Would love to hear more details—especially your timeline and expected rental income.

Whether it’s sharing insights, exploring joint ventures, or just building a strong network, I’m excited to bring value to the community and grow together.
