I'll put them in order of what I prefer and why:1) Save up the cash using cashflow from my current portfolio and W2 income. 

My market is San Diego so I do not have direct referral for a GC in north Hollywood but I will say my preferred way to get contractors is direct referral.

So thanks to the people that helped me adjust my mindset in literally one day of interacting on here.I went into my Followed Forums and removed Starting Out and Wholesaling from that preference.

I'd prefer 30 year fixed rate debt at 7% over this arrangement unless there is something that I am missing.

•Deal evaluation: Simple, actionable advice or tools to help me confidently analyze and structure deals.I’m also looking to network with wholesale-minded agents, understand local buyers’ preferences (buy boxes), and explore mentorship or partnership opportunities that can help me gain momentum.I’m eager to learn, take action, and build something impactful for my family.

Introducing accredited investors to a diversified stream of consistent monthly preferred returns backed by real estate and real estate backed assets (notes) in a completely transparent environment.

I prefer new construction homes where an opportunity for a good deal presents itself How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

The company that did the repair is their "preferred" vendor for these things which in itself is not sketchy, but I don't think there is a way for me to know if it is a friends company or something.

I've done a lot of wraps and subtos and highly prefer the seller-finance strategy for a lot of reasons, including offering the opportunity of homeownership to those otherwise rejected by traditional banks.

You need at least one handyman on speed dial (preferably more), a good contractor for the bigger things, roofer, plumber, electrician, cleaner, etc etc.
