How do I even start the conversation as a tenant?

I am trying to get a hard money loan to start with the BRRR method.

I know that this is a big risk property but I believe that it has the potential for high return if I can get all of this permitting and renovation work figured out on the front end.I'm just looking for any advice on how to cover myself on the front end prior to making an offer and how to expedite the work so that I can get renters in and start recouping on the investment as soon as possible.

@Juliann Morala if you're going to rent it out, start with a PMC! 

A little background: Feel free to scroll down for the main reason of this post...I started out in 2011 trying everything to make my start in real estate but was not successful until 2015 when we purchased our first duplex in Fresno CA.

Bigger pockets is a great place to start by asking advice to those who live or invest in certain states/cities.

@Stuart Udis, I think there is starting to be a bit of a shift here.  

I currently have about 50,000 saved and want to start putting it to use, knowing real estate is one of if not the safest investments.

I've seen plumbers and builders stop hiring because all the "young" people start the job and then don't put in any effort or stop showing up.Figure out what you want to make hourly, then start telling everyone and their brother that you need work, how many hours you are available, etc. 

There are a handful of active agents here on BP in the Portland area (including my business partner and I) who would be good places to start.
