Again, if your $250k is true, and includes all the electrical upgrades, new plumbing runs, potentially new foundation pour (since I assume the existing garage slab is not capable of supporting a new two story house), I am guessing since I don't know the market, but assume you will have a lot of equity by completing the project.

The remaining cost-the  Renovation-will be paid using the HELOC. 

Quote from @Duane Williams: We’re a family-owned fix-and-flip company operating in San Antonio, TX, and Northern Virginia, managing everything in-house—from wholesale acquisitions to rehab & construction (with our own project managers and crews) to listing & selling through our licensed brokerage. 

Seemed legit and expecting to hear back from them today on some proposals for a project I am working on. 

@Kaleb JohnsonRecommend 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?

We did this through our LLC, I was actively managing the project while my brother was passive. 

I am looking to partner with someone on a project in abilene.

I’ve been in the real estate business for almost three years now and have completed five deals: one buy-and-hold long-term rental, one short-term rental, and three fix-and-flip projects, for which I helped raise capital.

At this time I manage and renovate majority of all my units to keep cost low but most likely not the best use of my time although I'm skilled at it.

At that point my project manager (and partner) started pushing him.
