It’s a great way to add value to a property without putting a ton of money upfront, and it can set you up for financial success in the long run.Has anyone else done a similar renovation project or used a gift of equity in their deals?

How they communicate from day 1 will be a projection of your experience together.

Brian also mentioned, him and Ron were renovating houses on a large scale and had been building a foundation for massive traction in the workforce and affordable housing market in the Mid Atlantic (my friend Brian is an active real estate investor and GSP’s lead project/property manager).

You don't want to get a call 3 months into a project where you have lent money and hear the operator say that they ran out of money and need more money from you to finish the project or you will lose your investment.

My cost wont necessarily be the same or comparable as I GC my own projects and have trade skills.

The growing tech sector, infrastructure projects, and diverse job opportunities continue to drive population growth, making Atlanta a promising option for multi-family investments.

For the contractors, there are always going to be ones that have you already saying yes to stuff and will just continue to send crazy change orders, and when they do that is when you stop the project and go elsewhere. 

I like Columbus because that's where all the growth is projected in the next few years.

However, the process was extremely cumbersome, communication was inefficient, and the loan fees were inflated compared to other deals I have seen from fellow investors.We will be ready to begin the refinance stage of our next project in the coming days, as renovation is finishing up and we are screening tenants.

Lots of property management companies sell turnkey flips and also have realtors that can find you value add properties, and they probably have contractors to recommend and even may handle the project management for you if you're going to use them to manage the property.
