Hello Everyone,I'm a General Contractor who has developed a great reputation in my area for 11 years now and I started flipping homes about 2 years ago. 

Originally posted by @Steve Cohen:@Branden Sewell bring an investor that's willing to partner up with you and they'll put up the cash and then you get the financing and then you do the deal with them and split the profitsI don't want to bring scepticism to this thread but I've never understood why an investor in his right mind would do this; this could eventually make sense if the active partner is extremely experienced and reputable with a long proven track record of successful deals but why would you put your hard earned money at risk partnering with a newbie for only 50% of earnings? 

I would caution you on anything Morris.. they are far from reputable from what we have seen on BP just look at some of the threads on what they did to investors in Indy.. is sad  and left many many folks in very bad financial shape and then to top it off took no responsibility at all and try to blame others.. not to mention their idea of investing in low values assets is completely the opposite of how those assets work.. they are just not credible at any level in my mind and personal opinion.. and maybe I am not either but that's my view point

@Cody Jensen I just attended a session with Michelle Brady of Equity Trust at my local REIA meetup, and her company seemed reputable and a go-to resource for those interested in using self-directed IRAs to fund their real estate investing.

In a business where recommendations and reputation are the source of the next deal it's important to me to be fair out of the gate.

Can't speak to the west of the US, but in the east those types are banned in many places and treated as manufactured homes in others.

If you need some reputable virtual assistants that work well in real estate let me know @Chris Purcell

It's not rehab, it's a well maintained property with a new 3 garage from 2015, manufactured home on slab, not requiring any repairs it's fully move in ready, owner occupied. 11 acres, nice rural area. 3 bed 2 bath taxes around $2k/yr.

The first situation you may not need to tell them much. in the second case you better have a pretty good presentation clearly showing how money will be made.I have had people loan me as much as $400K on basically a handshake because of my reputation.

I work for a major food manufacturer and finally received the kick in the *** I needed once we were acquired by an even bigger food manufacturer.
