Do my 3 associates need to create a LLC to be able to do these renovations or can any individual do them, as long as proper permits are pulled? 

I am actually doing a flip right now and hard money lender isn't the easiest to give us a loan for the rehab (draws verse pulling all at once, which is normal).

But I feel like having the bank connections (to automatically pull in those expenses/revenues) is key to streamlining things.

The appraisal came in at 490000k arv and the comps pulled and increase in home value since a year ago shows the property at around 515000k.

You'll likely pull a few hundred extra dollars and will will get shorter leases that could work better for your traveling.

I specifically want to call out one of their Senior Accounts Associate, Charlotte Cunningham, who helped me through the process on my first purchase as I needed to buy a sizable amount of furniture quickly and she was able to help me make moves quickly...and didn't make me feel bad whatsoever when I pulled back a few items at the last minute I was able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

That’s if you are on top of everything don’t have to fight insurance for a full payout, have an architect you immediately start working with drafting plans and pulling permits, secure a construction loan, and hire a contractor who prioritizes your construction.

It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.Happy to connect to discuss further. 

You cannot change the area or the demographics of the area, so you have to pull the levers that community "needs" / "wants". 

Just make sure you guys are comfortable with the area before pulling the trigger.
