The problem is, being a semi-new investor I don't have much liquid capital to be flipping and funding it fully, so I'm using CC's to pay for materials and I'm not even able to pay the CC's off in whole every month until the property sells.Scott, I definitely agree about the rewards on the cared which is what my wife and I do for our personal expenses. 

I'm looking to buy a lot and work with a construction company to build a semi-custom home for my retiring parents that will hopefully also be a decent investment.

We now have them come semi annually to do routine maintenance so we can get the 25+ years out of it4.) both octopus furnaces we have replaced were both wrapped in asbestos so replacing them was best for the safety of the propertyI would also suggest when talking to HVAC reps to ask if they are commission based or not, that’s a good indicator as well if you have the means to be a self fixer that’s great but not sure it’s always the best and easiest approach 

You can be a semi-passive partner as you let him/her run the show but at the same time you are onsite asking questions and seeing where you can contribute.

While you might have had a phone discussion to get your initial questions asked, here's a semi-random list the questions we're often asked, which I'm sure is incomplete:Annual interest ratePointsFeesLTV and how it's calculated (based on ARV or purchase price or ?).

Congrats on your soon to be 11 properties..I can't wait to get there soon  semi full time.

although if this is starter home type land margins are thinner on those than custom to semi custom.

At walk through, fan blades were all caked with dirt, cobwebs and dustbunnies abound, hardwood and tile floors hadn't been swept or mopped, countertops not wiped, exterior of kitchen appliances not cleaned, stove top still semi dirty (stove was brand new a year and a half ago but she claims "it wouldn't wipe off"), kitchen sink with soap debris on it, food stains splattered on kitchen backsplash and baseboards, bathtub not cleaned, closet floors/shelves/blinds/windows not wiped down, and my favorite - remains of a carcass of a hawk (feathers and...?)

I'm in semi rural Maine and I have one for $16.

I use a very light blue eggshell with semi-gloss bright white woodwork, doors, etc.
