We usually redo the concrete walks or steps if they are old, graying and in need of repair.

It’s all about those margins, so once you get that walk-through done, focus on nailing down your numbers for rehab.

They seem to be walking back.

ways to meet such people would be meetups, or simply walking into some smaller offices, could also ask around to other owners of the assets you are interested in and see who helps them. 

Quote from @Noel Coleman: I walked a property today for a flip with a contractor who I really liked and he seemed like he is really knowledgeable.

If the deal goes south and you have next to zero money in the deal, selling a short sale or walking isn't as risky for you since you aren't losing much.

As fast as you can walk you can fill.

This has probably been the one thing that has helped me scale my portfolio so much and so quickly within the past 6 years.So the things that I would bring to the table that a new investor wouldn’t have access to (at least at the beginning until they build their own systems and networks) would be my knowledge and streamlining of getting financing, having deal flow, using vetted and skilled subcontractors, discounted prices on materials, systems in place to find tenant buyers, and streamlined refinancing and management in placeIt is similar to turnkey, only you don’t have to put 25% down and you walk into equity and the exit is already planed and the tenant buyer gets connected with a lender upfront to help them get ready to exercise in the option within 3 years.So that is what makes this different than other models.

@Marc Robinson some may be more adventurous than me but with septic and well I would walk awayI prefer TOH of course but with $300 lot rent and 19 occupied, utilities included in rent I would pay $400-450k for this

I am hoping this number is extremely conservative given that our contractors, inspector, and realtor walked it as well.
