No golf this time-we'll wait until after that toon-a-mint in Augusta!  

The hassle I don't wanna do and not waste precious time

@Jud Mcgivaren I’m in the Augusta area.

(She had a precious eviction on her record.)

Initially, I will be operating in the Augusta, GA metro area (2nd Largest City in Georgia).  

I'm a new investor currently living in the Atlanta area and planning to move to Augusta later this year.

I have no problem listening to hours upon hours of podcasts, but I don't want to waste precious time if there's a more efficient way of gaining my education.What are your thoughts?

Hey BP,I'm in the process of gathering the information and financing to start my first flip in Augusta, GA.

@Nicole Sorensen Hull@David Miller@Shannon Peace thanks all for precious inputs.

BP squad, here's what I'm looking at: nice looking 3/1 brick ranch a right turn away from thriving Augusta Rd in Greenville, SC. 30K purchase price ARV of 75K (most pessimistic scenario)15K of rehab costs (pessimistic scenario)Hard Money Loan (HML) terms: 10% down ($4,500)$3,500 origination fee interest only loan at 10% for 13 months - ~$400 per month x 13 month  = $5200 max holding costs - goal to have property rehabbed and refinanced in 120 daysno prepayment penaltytotal cash needed to get into deal: $8k expected rent: $1000 / monthgoal is to hold onto the property for the long term and have a property that cash flows as area continues to appreciate. my only other deal so far is a rehab / rental that i purchased through a combination of cash out refinancing the down payment and having the seller hold the note. i've never dealt with HML so any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. thx!
