@John Lasher If you are still looking to spend $20k-$30K for a coach, I would be happy to take you up on that offer :) For full disclosure,  I will share with you precisely what you can learn online/ perhaps even entirely through these BiggerPockets Forums but that doesn't address the reason why most are still unable to purchase larger assets: creditworthiness and capital relationships.

I kind of didn't want to mention that on the listing so that it wouldn't turn people away before they even had a chance to see it in person.  

licenseI...It's one thing to have your contractor's license revoked for 7 legal actions, it's even worse when you don't make amends when you clearly can.

there just aren’t many sold properties in the neighborhood in the last 3 months and even out to 6 months is limited.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Even on conventional renovation loans, most lenders and borrowers still use Certified 203k Contractors b/c the guidelines/timelines/rules/processes are almost identical. 

Even if we sometimes disagree LOL.  

Would love any leads to help me solve this problem even if it means making some phone calls.

We think we can break even with a conventional sale but have no idea.

For more affordable properties—those priced under $400,000—the timeline is even shorter, with many homes receiving offers within two weeks of being listed.This fast-moving market poses a particular challenge for first-time buyers who may not be as familiar with the urgency required in competitive bidding situations.
