This letter sets the ground work that a new sheriff is in town.

The people we hope to have as clients are probably using bigger pockets and if this isn't allowed I'm sure someone will let me know.My wife and I are laying ground work to start a kitchen design company around February. 

Sounds like you’ve done a good job laying the groundwork. 

I’m using a HML to purchase and rehab, but want to lay the groundwork with a small investor friendly bank(s) in the area to place the reserves and refi with when  the project is complete.

This gave us a nice opportunity to run the new plumbing ground work, install a backflow regulator on our sewer line (nice to have on a 1915 house), and move the front and back sump pumps into a better position-Framed and finished the basement into the Airbnb unit-Dug the backyard down and installed a retaining wall at parking pad as well as a small deck and set of stairs off the rear entrance to the house that leads down to the parking pad-Opened up the main floor and removed a few non load-bearing walls. 

Other than that, you could try and partner with someone who can bring the money. if you self-educate as much as possible and become an expert in vacation rentals, you could offer that knowledge and "boots on the ground" work to a partner who can bring the money - then split the profits.

My aim is to start in Q2, I'm still laying down the groundwork and getting my ducks in a row.

But if you want to start direct mailing, I would read up on that and start laying the groundwork for a mailing campaign.

This plan is really vague but it’s the ground work I have so far.

Everyone says the main goal with your first deal is to learn and lay some solid groundwork if you plan to do this long term.
