Myself and a friend are looking to get into investing in buying hold single-family homes. She would be putting all the cash down for the property and I'm a contractor and would take care of all of the rehab work along...

The first conversation that needs to be had is with the contractor to figure out why the previous agreement is not being honored. 

.- They often get sold Class C or D properties while using Class A assumptions - then wonder why they are losing money.Here's some copy & paste info that you hopefully find helpful:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I am looking for the same thing and wanted to check in with the BP forums so figured i would revive this old thread.

It's a competitive market and most of the people that get in trouble here are ones that buy blindly without actually figuring out the numbers, etc.You'd be surprised the number of times I get asked after month one if their electric bill of $xxx or whatever is normal, and the thought running through my head is "how did you not  check things like that before you committed half a million dollars to something?"

That’ll help you figure out the best type of funding to use.It sounds like you’re in a great position to make this flip work!

I suspect, as more and more leasing-related disputes are occurring involving credit cards, the companies have already figured out their method of handling these claims.

The flippers who COULD handle the volume that a flipping fund would allow them to take on, don't need a fund, because often times, anyone flipping at that volume is already making close to 7 figures a year, and wouldn't want to keep splitting it.Alternatively, I, personally, would not invest with a flipper that hasn't done it, a lot.
